Hydra guide lives locally so she was great with her personal stories. Poros was a quick stop. Adding Aegina for 2 hours in a bus made for a long day.

I had a fabulous time on this day cruise. All 3 islands were very beautiful. Glad I did the VIP upgrade. This came with priority boarding at all stops, comfortable lounge to relax in on the ferry with complimentary beverages like cappuccino, and snack + lunch were included, which were very good. Walking tour in Hydra was also included. The archeological tour (bus trip) in Aegina was extra but worth it to see Temple of Aphaia with panaromic views and stop at the monastery. We were blessed with beautiful weather at end of April, sunny but not too hot. All the staff on cruise were so friendly. The VIP upgrade also included transportation to port from hotel, and they picked me up at my hotel even though it wasn't on the initial list when booking. Would highly recommend!

I give this tour 4 stars not 5 because of a miscommunication over pickup time. We were under the impression the pickup was 8am because that was the time in the tickets but it was the time of boat departure. We missed the pickup but managed to make it to the port via taxi. We had VIP tickets. The experience was overall very nice, unlimited drinks, appetizers and ouzo were brought out at 10am. We had a long stretch of sailing then stopped at hydra followed by lunch which was salad, buffet served as a plated meal (fish, chicken. ,pasta, vegetables, rice) and then dessert. Then stops at Poros and Aegina. You have the option of a walking tour in Hydra or a panoramic tour in Aegina which included 2 stops, one at a monastery and other at a temple. I strongly recommend the Aegina bus tour. The monastery and temple were in beautiful locations. There was a small gift store near monastery where you can get pistachios ice cream or other souvenirs and the temple had sweeping views of the sea. On the sail back to the port, they had live music and traditional dancing on board(not in vip section). It was definitely a lovely experience despite the time mixup at the start of the day. The only downside is that the time on each island was limited.

The islands are great, the tour was nice and our assistant (Kostas) is a lovelly person.
But the food was mediocre and the VIP surplus serves only to grant priority boarding and unboarding and an exclusive part of the ship (very old, by the way).
Not worth the price.

The tour was fine, the islands are great and our assistant (Kostas) is a lovelly person and an attentive waiter.
But the food was mediocre, the boat is pre-historic, and the VIP status is basically the priority boardind and unboarding and the exclusive use of a part of the ship.
All in all it was not a bad experience. But make no mistake: In this case "VIP" treatment is a joke...

Highly recommend and if your budget allows, do the VIP option. Our VIP host was Kostas, who was amazing, attentive, and gave tips on what to do and where to go for the best photos. The islands were beautiful and ship’s entertainment topped off the Greek experience.

This cruise exceeded our expectations. We booked the VIP package and it was great value. We were picked up at our hotel promptly and then escorted on to the ship straight away. The VIP lounge was great, we had two sofas to ourselves and the lounge was really spacious, it was a great place to relax. We were served coffee and snacks. The first stop was Hydra this was a lovely island, with many shops and great views. When we got back to the ship we were served a sit down 3 course lunch, we then had time to relax before arriving in Poros. We went up to the top of the clock tower in Poros and the views were magnificent. On returning to the ship the bar was open for drinks and snacks. Alcoholic drinks were available for a reasonable price. The final Island Aegina was larger than the other islands and we took the free tour, that was enjoyable. Overall it was a very full day, but the VIP package really made the difference. We were first on and off the boat at all the islands and we were treated very well. Special mention to Katerina who did a magnificent job looking after us. The whole team were great.
