  Overall the trip was quite successful! The excursions and scheduled activities were all excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed them. The island of Delos and the volcano/hot springs tours we especially wonderful, and our time spent on these activities was very well spent. The communication and planning of all these activities (itinerary, provided tickets and documents) was executed very well, and the team assisting with the trip was prompt and professional in their communication with us at all points of the trip. Our dedicated WhatsApp was such a valuable resource and we always felt like help was just a text away if there were any issues we knew our trip's team could help out with. However there was some issues surrounding transportation on and between the islands. The ferry services between the islands was unreliable and resulted in lost time or stress while traveling. Our ferry from Mykonos to Santorini was two hours late, and this resulted in losing much of the free time we had allocated for that day. Our ferry from Santorini to Athens arrived one hour late and almost caused us to miss our ticket window for our acropolis tour. Perhaps the only reason we made it was because of aggressively leaving the ship and being able-bodied enough to RUN uphill to the Parthenon. Overall, it should be assumed that these ferries will run late when scheduling future travel. Personally, we would have preferred the absolute earliest ferries off each island to ensure maximum time at the next destination, in exchange for more time to sleep in. The bus systems on both Mykonos and Santorini were very troublesome. There were no maps, time schedules were varied and often not timely, payment for bus rides was at the discretion of the driver or station, and overall felt very unorganized.This made it difficult to truly explore the islands because the method of doing so was stressful and difficult to navigate. The two of us have no issue walking most places, but given the hilly terrain and complete lack of sidewalks this did not feel like a valid option or at times felt dangerous. The hotel on Santorini was technically centrally located, but the lack of public transportation and terrain of the island more or less left us stranded. Our first night on Santorini was disappointing both because of our arrival time and location. Being centrally located on these islands is overall less of a benefit than being seaside and/or near known attractions (beaches being one of the main tourist attractions). We also wish we had one more day on Santorini for a wine tour because of the vibrant and unique wines on the island. More detail, advice, or factoring these into itineraries would have greatly improved our experience or this same trip for future customers.

  It was great to have WiseYatra take care of the logistics for our Switzerland trip. Their replies to all our questions before and during the trip were very thorough and prompt. Never felt we were travelling without a guide. Lucerne was beautiful. Grindelwald was a great recommendation by WiseYara. They made it easy for us to enjoy the trip without worrying about the details. Highly recommended.

  I had booked our first tour Switzerland through WiseYatra. I was travelling with my 14 year old daughter & I was bit sceptical. This was our first tour to any of the European countries. The team at WiseYatra was very helpful & supporting from the very first day. They helped us hotel booking, Swiss Travel Pass, Visa assistance and most importantly a very good travel itinerary which was not too exhausting considering it was just 6 days & 7 nights tour. We were able to cover almost all the important attractions which was their in our bucket list. Thanks to the entire team at WiseYatra for making our tour very memorable.
