What people love about Greece Tours in January
- Charming Greece Tour - 7 days
Overall the tour was good but I’m not sure I would do it again. We thought it would be more of a tour group rather than just signing us up for excursions we had already found before signing up for the tour and booking a couple hotel rooms. The tour guide on 4 day over night excursion, Cassandra was fantastic, however, our tour ended up being bi-lingual and it took away from the information she could’ve provided us with as she had to say two different things. It took time away from both groups as we waited to hear more where if it was a single group, even if it was smaller would’ve provided more time to see the sights. As these were excursions and anyone could sign up it took away the group factor. These excursions allowed people to book separate hotels which took away from getting to know others as a group. Was a good tour but I would probably book my own next time unless it became an actual group tour.
- Vacations in Greece - 9 Days - Athens, Paros, Naxos, Santorini
We had an excellent experience with the team of people that helped us enjoyed our vacation in Greece, excellent service. Everything exceeded our expectations, it was 100% a positive experience. I am planning right now my next vacation to Spain with them. Thanks for everything.
The program is very well designed from the pick up to drop off. The guide in Athens was archeologist and the new museum was excellent. During Delphi - Olympos and Kalambaka tour , we were around 30 people but it didn’t bother us. The hotel category is choosen smartly . I recommend it.
Absolutely Greek
