We booked our tour online having read good reviews on tripadvisor. We had to pay a 1/3 downpayment up front before they would respond to us. Once downpayment was paid, a generic itinerary which covered transfers to and from port, ferries, hotels and optional day tours in mykonos and santorini from Athens was generated. This was done without prior consults of preferences, mobility limitations or special requirements. When I questioned the choice of hotels, having read bad reviews online, they gave a platitude that those booked were 'best in category' and that they had already been booked for us and cannot be changed. This was booked in April for our Sept trip and a check online shows that there are plenty of availabilities in hotels at reasonable prices.
Trusting the company as it is a local Greek company with ground connections and that they would 'know best' we went ahead with it and spent about 3400 Euros on the whole tour for 5 days and 4 nights.
To our dismay, the hotels and room category chosen were basic : The Mykonos hotel was far from town center and the popular beaches. The Santorini hotel was down a steep flight of stairs which was especially difficult for us with luggages and the caldera view that was promised can only be seen through a small window if you squat or sit on the floor.
The driver information provided in Santorini was out of date and the driver had left the company quite some time ago. The so-called 24 hour services extended complimentary to us was for issues like omission of end time for day tours.
The day tours booked although satisfactory are large group tours with 3rd party operators which they took a large profit from and can be easily booked through websites like Viator.
The seats chosen on the ferries are economy seats with poor choice devoid of leg room.
In fact, a quick price check online revealed that if we had booked everything ourselves, it would only cost AT MOST half the price. The upcharge was 100%. We understand that the company needs to make a profit for services rendered but nothing about this tour was private (despite what is implied by the name of the company) nor was there personal services catered to our needs besides the specified destination and dates.
When we emailed the General Manager Dimitri about our grievances and disappointment and wanted a partial refund due to the disparity of quality of products delivered and the price charged, he accused us of extortion and threatened legal action. We were shocked! As paying customers who had paid in full and are not satisfied, we have every right to seek redress as well as to write a bad review and should not be cowered into not doing it.
The only highlights of the tour was the private car transfer services of the companies they engaged for our port transfers. The drivers were mostly on times, polite and helpful and the fleet of cars was well maintained.
The constant feeling of having been cheated marred trip.
Buyers beware and consider carefully if you want to spend the money to get substandard quality products with atrocious service.

Absolutely fabulous! I cannot say or write enough. My husband and I celebrated our daughter’s birthday in Mykonos. A dream come true for her, for all of us! The hotels were ideally situated. Clean with breathtaking views. The staff could not be more friendlier. The included daily hot breakfast was delish. Pickup and drop off in limo or Benz vehicles with the nicest drivers, who filled us in on ideal places to visit or dine. The islands were more than we had imagined or dreamed about. All I can say is GO. This is a bucket list vacation that needs to be checked off! Sooner than later. Wonderful experience!

Effe and Private group tours were great to work with. Mykonos and Santorini were beautiful. Blue domes and sunset in oia were worth seeing.

My husband and I had a lovely few days visiting Mykonos and Santorini. We also added the Delos tour to our excursion. The transports were well organized and prompt, both of our hotels were lovely. The hotel staff on both islands were helpful with transports and dining suggestions/reservations. Dimitra was beyond helpful and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend upgrading seats on the ferry, especially from Santorini back to Athens. Be advised that after getting to the port you are responsible for getting luggage on and off the ferries. Beyond that the transport drivers provide top notch service. Dimitra and her team are excellent!

This was the perfect getaway. The ferry system is great but the best part was always having a driver waiting.

The hotels chosen were very good, the only thing is that it takes time to go from one island to the other (Mykonos to Santorini) since the ship stops in different other islands. We spent almost one day from Mykonos to Santorini - arriving in Santorini around 6 pm. We only had one full day in Santorini. We had fun and at least could get a grasp of those two beautiful islands.
