Had an amazing time - It was my first time in Greece, and this beach tour was incredible. They were very punctual. We visited 3 beaches out of the four indicated because we ran out of time. However, the beaches we visited and the lunch we had were incredible. The water was so clear. Would definitely do it again.

Great Time in Paros! - I want to start by saying that we went during the off season so the boat wasn’t that packed but I can imagine the boat would be tight and uncomfortable if there were too many people on it. With that being said, we truly had an amazing time on this trip. We stopped at 3 different swimming holes with the most beautiful turquoise waters we’ve ever seen. Some of the stops had beaches for us to lounge and play on. The water was very cold but you did eventually get used to it. The crew gave us masks, snorkels, and noodles to use while swimming. We started right at 9:45 and finished right at 4:45. The captain was an expert at avoiding the choppy waves and potentially bad weather. Normally, I get sea sick but that didn’t happen which was great. The boat ride around the islands was actually really relaxing. But honestly what impressed us most about this trip was the FOOD!! We are very picky but the food was so good. They fed us at all 3 stops. The first stop we got an appetizer. The second stop we got a full home cooked 3 course meal (seriously we watched them cook and prep everything on the boat). And the food was REALLY good. So impressed. At the last stop they gave us some yummy fresh fruit. The Greeks really do it right. Great tour and would definitely do it again. A little long but worth it.

Fun day-trip - We had such a fun time on the boat for a day! Great swimming locations and a relaxing environment. The lunch was good as well! A great way to see Antiparos and beautiful views of the Aegean Sea! The boat was a little more crowded than I would have hoped so not a lot of wiggle room.

Sailing, Sun, & Snorkeling - This was such a fun experience and the homemade lunch was one of a kind and super delicious! I would recommend anyone venturing to Paros to set take part in this excursion, you won’t be disappointed.

Nice day - Great day.
Fellow passengers were lovely and food was great!
Wish we could have gone to the caves and cliff jumping but apparently the seas were too rough.
Would have liked different music. 90% of the passengers were not Greek so would have liked less techno music.

Terrible Customer Service and Lackluster Trip. - We booked this via Tripadvisor which then went via a company called Viator. I'll start with the positives, athough our overall experience was disapointing the staff were brilliant and the food (although not a BBQ) was nice and the stops we did have were amazing. One of the draws to this perticular boat cruise was the 6 stops and as advertised 'some unique caves and dive from cliffs' we were very disapointed that we did not see any of this, we had only 4 stops to just jump and swim in the open sea which I'm not disputing were amazing but disapointing that the main draw of the trip for us was the chance to go into caves and jump from the cliffs.
The food, whilst was good was inconsistent - some people had huge portions with all the seafood whilst ours was half of that and I had no seafood even in mine. We did however have an overall good day but as someone else has commented the boat is rammed so once you've taken your seat you cannot move and get shade and after a full day in blairing heat this can become exhausting.
The most overal disapointing part of this was that I contacted Viator to express these concerns and the 'customer care' was quite frankly appauling. After an intial email exchange they stated that 'the weather conditions were favorable and therefore they were unable to offer any sort of compensation' I emailed them back to say if the weather conditions were davourable then why wasnt the full schedule carried out and I got a response within 1 minute of sending my email saying they had taken a second review and that they coud not be of any help. I have emailed them on three seperate occasions and they have still not responded to me. The only reason I emailed to request a partial refund is that we have been on many boat trips of under $50 per person and had the same experience. We paid $200 for 2/3's of the advertised tour.

The Worst Experience Ever - I would give this excursion no stars if that was an option. We booked this excursion through "Get Your Guide" app based on the reviews. I will make this brief; they purposely overbook beyond reasonable capacity, which means some enjoy a nice voyage while lying down in the middle of the boat and never allow others to do the same, so the rest of us have to sit with a steel bar wedged into our backs for over 7 hours. This made for a very uncomfortable and unpleasant journey. The tour description never mentioned that 70+ people would be crammed onto a boat. Had we known this in advance, we wouldn't have booked. We also did the reasonable thing buy trying to work with the boat crew and captain to address and they refused to help in anyway. All we got was shrugged shoulders. There are other operators to explore the surrounding islands. Our advice to all.,,.book a private boat! You'll be way better off! The insensitivity and sheet lack of empathy of the crew and team at MTM is what prompted this review. To pay over $100 per person and be told there isn't enough room for all to have a comfortable experience is beyond unacceptable. Clearly they only care about one thing and that's making money. They could care less if you get no shade and have no where to sit comfortably for 7 hours. Do yourself a favor and book with someone else! Hire a private speed boat and enjoy all the same locations. The amount you pay is not worth the horrible experience and at best, sub par food provided. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
We travel a lot and have booked many excursions and this by far as been the absolute worst!

DONT book if you want to meet antiparos beaches - The itinerate was very diferent from description.It was written that there would be stop at 3 beaches but it hasnt stopped on any beach at all.
No Agios spyridonas. No Feneromeni beach. No despotilko beach.
It just stopped on snorkeling spots far from any beach + blue lagoon (and that Was not part of description)I have booked this trip only beacause I want to meet antiparos beaches,but there were no beaches stops at all! I fell almost as I was scamed. It wasted a whole day of my holidays.
