What people love about Greece Tours from Athens
- Greece Discovery Tour
Guide accommodation travel very good
- 2 Greek Islands Tour - 5 Days - Paros & Santorini - Premium
Our travel guide Irene was fantastic. She met with us in Athens to hand us all of our tickets, explain our itinerary, and even give us a mini tour of the area. She also helped us find an open pharmacy and get sea sickness gum for my husband. During our trip she called to make sure everything was going well as we had a delay on our last day. All in all I'd definitely recommend this trip. It was great to get off at each port to have someone waiting for us, to take us to great hotels like the Rosebay in Santorini, and give us an overview of our stay. Thanks for everything Irene!
- Greek Island Hopping with Guided Tours - With 4* hotels Premium
Totally impressed with the organization of transfers, tours, transport and hotel Our one tour was cancelled due to weather and the option offered instead didn’t work for us. We thank you for the extra hotel night instead however we were placed in rooms with 2 single beds. When we asked to change to queen beds at the hotel, we were advised it was tour radar that made the arrangements and could not change. Otherwise the experience was great.
