This tour is on a large boat with maybe 60 people. The boat has a cafe and small canteen aboard which is comfortable. However, it also has a shop where they try to sell you handbags. You'd think for around $170 USD in the off-season that this would be an inclusive price. However, they try to upsell you with 2 tours for around 50 Euros on Hydra and Aegina. Note, I didn't take either of these tours. The first is a small island that has no vehicles and they offer a walking tour and a total island time of around 90 minutes. I don't think there's anything on Hydra that truly iconic other than exploring the overall vibe of the city and maybe doing some hiking. Therefore, I have no idea what this walking tour could possibly be going over.
The second tour is on Aegina (third island) where they provide busses to an ancient temple. I think this tour alone might be worth it as it maybe also includes a meal. I spent the 90 minutes walking around and enjoying some restaurants.
The second island is only a 45 minute stop.
Overall, I think there are cheaper ways (likely during the "on" season) to travel to these three islands and spend more meaningful time on them without being rushed or sending even more money to this one tour company.

The experience was well organized, but not what we expected. If you enjoy long boat rides on the water, I think you will enjoy this. The pick up and ticket process was very simple and all of the staff on the boat were very helpful. However we did not anticipate how long we would be traveling. We were in the boat for at least 6 hours (3 hours to reach the first destination). I would recommend bringing a book or audio because there is not much else to do. My travel companion gets seasick and the waves were very rough leaving the port. Note, we did travel in November which may have affected the weather. There were only 2 stops Hydra and Aegina, with an hour and a half at each. Lunch was served on the boat, and there was entertainment on the return journey back to Athens. Another important note is that all drinks required purchase, even water. Drink were not included at lunch, even water. There were lots of available seats and space, but this was probably due to the off-season. Overall, it was an OK experience but I do not think I would do it again or recommend to anyone who does not enjoy being in a boat.

Seeing the inhabitants of these beautiful islands. The architecture of those islands and also the beautiful mountains made them picture perfect for tourists.

We paid in advance and went to the pick up hotel to wait on the bus. No bus, no communication, no tour! Finally, a tour guide from another company called the tour operator for us and learned that our tour had been cancelled and that the tour operator was so sorry.
We are still waiting for the refund of our payment. Both tours booked with Viator were cancelled at the last minute. We will never use Viator again!!!!!

Last minute changes in the trip. No Hydra. I was there for Hydra. The other two islands, not much to do or to see. Great view from the see but that it. The buffet, good average food, salmon was dry, chicken leg only was ok. Inside the ship drinks, very expensive. Good experience, won’t do I again.

It is a must if the time permits at Athens. Hydra is a picture perfect town. There are some entertainment at the ship before the end of tour. Aegina id a big island and one may go for a guided island tour (at extra cost). Overall a day cruise on the Aegean sea is entertaining.

Hydro walls really nice. The morning service on the boat was bad. We sat in the dining room. I asked 4 different people to take our order for food and drinks. Many people were being served, but many were not. We never got any service. However, the music and dancing on the return to Port, almost made up for that. Almost. The time on the islands was short, rushed. While I would return to Hydra again, it wouldn't be on this cruise. The guides were friendly and seemed to be knowledgeable. Oh yes, I must acknowledge Thomas the piano player. He was funny. A great entertainer. I guess if the day started out better, I could have given a positive review
