King Alexander Boat Tour - King Alexander Boat Tour

We had a good day on our boat trip. The weather was lovely. We visited some lovely beaches and we got to see some dolphins. We got an awesome spot to sit right on the bow on big cushions. Well worth €65 for 3 people. The food was ok.

Nice boat trip, we enjoyed it with my family. The boat wasn't too crowded. You get lunch, which is not bad. The portions are small, but it was enough for us. The places where we went were not exactly breathtaking, but the trip was interesting enough for someone who rarely visits the sea.

Boat wase smoking egsost gases also smell of leaking batteries. Other than that was fine staff was friendly tour was fine. Its just not right to put your passengers thro that if the bout needs fixing do so dont make people safer because you want to save some many and time on repairs.

Awful food, they skipped Blue Lagoon and because of the weather our tour ended at the second port where we came back by bus. So in the end we went to only 2 places of 4…And they gave us only 30% back of our money saying that the weather wasn’t their problem.

Unfortunately I forget to check the google reviews before booking the trip. And also unfortunately, everything said here before is true: 8h of moving around in a very crowded boat with nothing at all to see, completely diferent from how it was advertised. We've made only 1 stop on land on Sithonia in a boring village with a small, poor beach and another one on Kassandra, 8 km away from the starting point in Pefkochori. We could have walked to that beach, without having to pay 25 eur. Overall a big rip-off. Stay away!

Totally dissapointed of the trip overall as the description didn't match the actual experience: overcrowded (more than 70 persons) even though we were told the maximum capacity is of 30 persons, the places we were promised we will reach were not at all part of the trip and there was no guide to provide us details and insights of the trip as initially promised. It seemed like a scam, don't recommend!

The tour is not offering something special. Start was in Pefkohori and we did drove for one and half hour to the first stop. That was not on the beach, it was 100 m from beach at the sea. There was like 30 minutes pause for swimming ( water was really cold). Next stop was again one and half hour far away in Korfu. There was pause another pause from 1,5 hour. Its small place, with few taverna's. The beach is not special. After 3 m into the sea there is I would say 5m deep. Its bay and water is also cold. There we had lunch, burger and fruits (watermelone). Third and last stop was again after 1,5 hour driving. It was Paliouri beach. There we were for 1,5 hour but swimming was not so interesting because there was many jellyfish those days around coast from Halkidiki. The beach is very nice. After that one more hour driving to final destination in Pefkohori. Price for this tour is OK, 25 €.

First of the name "Pirate Cruise Toroneos" doesn't exist on Google or Tripadvisor in fact it took some time to find King Alexander Boat Tour and realise that its the same and also the comments helped to identify the boat with not positive similar experience.But lets get in to the review. We arrived there in time at the entrance they were nice and helpful Shortly after that we ended up in a queue to board the ship. We had to sign a paper that they did not tell for what reason :D...And here they gave us business cards but again didn't say that this will be important and don't loose because it turned out that the "Lunch ticket" is actually that business card...wow! Anyhow we did not miss anything with that lunch it was pretty basic but I'm not complaining about the food since it was a 25 EUR boat trip so you know no point of argument there The main negative is the trip it self and low quality of the boat. My friends and I felt that we are some packages that are shipped from point to point. The so called sight seeing stops were very low the fist stop was a "photo shoot place" where we could take photos with a nice sea view In reality the ship basically turned around in 2-3 minutes :D and headed off that was the " take some nice photos of this island" The Blue Lagoon Stop The boat here stopped for maximum 10 minutes the people were told to jump in the water since there wasn't any dock so some people jumped in (around 15 people out from the many that stayed on board) the water for 10 minutes top and than we went off again very disappointing and the view was nothing just a shore with a bunch of trailers and other tourist but at least those people were on the beach not like us steam on the boat..boiling with other package passengers. Pirate Porto Koufo stop Well here we actually stopped and we actually found a really nice Taverna called Tavern Delfini that had actually fresh food and it was great and in fact we were very happy that we did not waited for the lunch on the boat. And there wasn't anything pirate about this. Paliouri Beach Stop Here the boat stopped to have a brake of 1 hour maybe, the boat docked and they put out this ladder that the people could go off board the ship after the third people walked on it as soon as the fourth person step it it just collapse and the woman fell down to her knees... The beach here was nice and sand was actually good and we went to a bar and we decided to just abandon this "Pirate Boat Cruise" because there was no way we would stay one hour more on that Flat Boat! So we stayed in Paliouri and went home from there and honestly Paliouri is just 30 minutes with a car from our Hotel...so honestly we should have just go there and save the 25 EUR. To sum up the tour was honestly not worth it and you get what you pay for, I'm not going to address the pirates nor the dolphins because its a common tourist scam in Greece to advertise with Dolphins and whales to attract more tourists. The crew of the boat was actually nice and its not their fault that this boat needs a serious renovation and at least one safety boat in case of an emergency the bartender woman was nice and the people too but the boat and tour is rubbish just don't go. And the only way this "Pirate Cruise Toroneos" lives up to its name is the fact the we indeed were pirated 25 EUR of from our pockets.
