You won't be disappointed! - If you're wondering whether to do this trip, I can't encourage you more and here's why: 1. Great value for money 2. Well organised and informative 3. Breath-taking scenery 4. Excellent transport 5. Local pick up and drop-off points. The more robust your footwear, the more enjoyable an experience this will be. Myself and my middle-aged partner were initially apprehensive, but that soon disappeared and we certainly were not disappointed!

Great day out at the end of October - Went with my family - 8,11,13 Yr olds - no issue really. Not hard but for younger children than mine might be too much, temperature was fine end of October but maybe too hot earlier. Guide was engaging and entertaining. Lovely stop at a small town for a swim. Overall we really enjoyed it.

Grueling journey through Imbros Gorge - The Imbros Gorge is beautiful. The hike which is predominately downhill, is about 5.5 miles. The one major issue is the rocks. I mean millions of rocks that you must navigate through. I have wonderful hiking boots and my balance was tested as well as my feet punished from the grueling terrain. The hike is not easy. It is not treacherous but it is more physically demanding then guide books let on.

Transportation issues - We were told we'd be picked up at our hotel. They called at the time the tour was to start and said they couldn't pick us up at the hotel, that they'd notified us. They had not. The man who called me was rude. The gorge walk itself was really nice. No problems with that part

Poorly organized and no communication! Do not use! - If I could give this no stars, I would. This is an extremely poorly organized, executed tour program with no communication from the tour operator whatsoever. Save yourself the grief and do not use this company! I booked this tour through Viator and was confirmed for pickup at my hotel through the Viator app. There was no communication from the tour operator about pickup time, which is the usual protocol after booking confirmation. I made several attempts to communicate with the tour operator the day before and the morning of prior to the tour using the contact info given on the Viator ticket. I used the Viator chat, WhatsApp, numerous phone calls, and email. I even had my hotel reception call. There was no response from the tour operator through any of these. The phone would ring, hang up and then go to a busy signal. The morning of the tour, I waited at my hotel as dictated on the ticket. No pickup. It wasn't until after 0815 on the day of the tour, I received a phone call from a bus company telling me I was supposed to be at another location at 0810 (was never given to me), and had missed the bus. I was told as I was now trying to get to the new location, that the bus had left and I could take a taxi to find the bus. I was told I would not be reimbursed for the taxi because the bus company told me they had no fault in this and to take it up with the tour operator. The tour operator is non-responsive despite numerous phone calls. Non-existent customer service or follow-up communication. Again, donot use this company! I have submitted a request for a refund through Viator. If that fails I will submit the refund for services not delivered for both this company and Viator. Viator needs to do a better job of vetting these tour companies.
