Sie sind einfach die Besten!!! Wir waren mit markidis auf spinalonga und elafonissi.. TOP. Leider mussten wir Samaria-Schlucht und Balos mit Iakovos machen, da markidis dies im Oktober nicht mehr im Angebot hat und waren maßlos enttäuscht. Geht niemals zu Iakovos!!! Von Markidis waren wir total begeistert und werden unsere Ausflüge nur noch dort buchen. Alles super organisiert und Busfahrer, Mitarbeiter und Reiseleiter sind ausnahmslos so liebe Leute ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely atrocious trip arranged by Bali trip to Elafonissi beach recently taken by us and 2 friends from our hotel in Bali .
13 hour round trip for only 4 hours on the beach.!!!! The tour on route never stopped at a taverna for breakfast and definitely not on the return journey as their brochure description .
We did pick up other people on the way , however we had to divert on route to go to the port to let some people pick up a boat trip and return later to pick them up , the boat was late getting in and we sat there at the port for nearly an hour .
When we finally got back to Bali travel office we refused to pay for the trip as it wasn’t as described in their brochure and had we had known that was the trip we would definitely not have gone .
The managers wife got very aggressive with us and threatened to call the police and said we would go to jail. !!! She called her husband at home and pushed the telephone into my face to talk to him . I tried to explain to him it wasn’t the trip as their brochure description and felt very let down, he blamed our hotel for not explaining the trip in detail ,I told him the hotel can only sell the tours as described in Bali travel brochure, and it doesn’t say any where it goes to the port , he wasn’t interested . We had already paid a deposit to our hotel . In the end we paid up 45euros each. The manager then drove off leaving us at 9pm in the town to find our own way back to our hotel miles away , no taxis available .
Our conclusion is Bali travel sold the trip to the beach and the boat tour and combined the 2 to fill up the coach .
8 hours travel with no stops is to much especially as we left our hotel at 7 30 am, beautiful beach when we finally arrived but very over crowded, wouldn’t like to visit in the height of the season .
Dont go on this trip unless you know for sure you are stopping on route and going to the beach only . Bali Travel you need to send your manager on customer service course .
