What people love about Self-Guided Tours in Greece
- Greek Island Dream Paros, Naxos & Santorini- 7 Days (Self-Guided Package)
Excellent experience. Highly recommended.
I usually book trips myself, but since working 12+hrs a day, I decided to to give an agency a try. Overall, choosing Dot Travel was a great choice. Pros: Communication: Lighting fast through IM, call, and WhatsApp. Hotels and transfers: The majority of the stays were well chosen. No issues with transfers. Syros: This was an unknown place for me when booking, but has become my favorite stop on the trip. I would never have visited here if it was not for Dot Travel. I could spend another week here! Cons: Optional excursions: These were hit or miss. I'd suggest booking excursions elsewhere. Dot Travel was quick to provide alternative arrangements or refunds when available. Time to port: It's better to be too early than too late, but arriving at port 1.5hr-2hr before departure was a bit much. Especially since ferries are always late.
