Trip date: July 2024 - Heather· September 28th, 2024This tour itself went to some fabulous places which we enjoyed. However we were really disappointed with tour itself. First day of tour we had no idea what was happening as were put in a hotel without other tour members and put in a public tour. Second day took awhile until we worked out who was on tour as people were getting off and on bus at multiple stops. The rest of the tour it was broken up by some people at one hotel and others at another hotel. People left and joined tour each day do you didn’t get to know your fellow travelers. The guide seemed very disinterested in us and we felt like more of a bother than guided. There was a passenger on the bus (the only one who didn’t speak English so difficult for him) who was sick coughing and sneezing over everyone in bus and buffet breakfast. He was not asked to wear mask and many of us ended up unwell. I personally lost 5 days of my holiday sick in the hotel because of this. There also seemed to be three companies involved in the whole trip. I would not recommend.Show moreDestination Services Greece commented on this reviewDear Heather, First of all sorry to hear that you were sick during the tour and you had that unpleasant experience during summer. We would like to thank you, though, for spending the time and sharing your comments about the trip. All our guests... Show moreTrip date: September 2024

- JBJason· July 24th, 2024The good: Our tour guide, Heleni, was amazing! She made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy Greece The itinerary was fast paced, but it was exactly what we wanted to see in the short time we had The beginning of the tour with a small group and van was fantastic, really got to know fellow travelers and didn't have to navigate a huge group of people at each hotel/site Many hotels did not have a large number of people at them (definitely upgrade to higher stars for the tour) Short stops and special experiences along the bus route were well done Most lunch stops were good and provided local flavors, Delphi was especially good (Omphalos salad!) The not so great: We would have liked more time at Olympia and Epidauros to explore the ruins Staying at the same hotel chain every stop provided pretty much the same menu each time Our tour guide for ONLY the Temple of Poseidon was not super helpful/friendly, and actually left 2 people behind who we had to pick up along the road from another bus Combining into a larger group after day 3 was not well planned. We had to try to find seats after they were already on the bus, and our family and original group was completely separated Could have spent a little less time at monasteries as traffic was terrible going back to Athens and didn't get to the hotel until later than expectedShow moreDestination Services Greece commented on this reviewDear Jason, Thank you for taking the time sharing your experience in Greece.

- OOlivia· July 9th, 2024Our tour guide is name Fontaini Trianti and she was phenomenal! She had a lot of knowledge of the history of archaeological sites we visited. My son is 13 and he found her explanations were better than some of his teachers at school. Thank you Fonteini for the educational, interesting and inspiring experience you provided for him. She was also friendly, organized, approachable, flexible and knowledgeable. We also lucked out having less people on the tour than anticipated and this made it easier to connect with each other and we became a family in a short time. The itinerary was excellent. There was a good variety and right amount of things to see and do. Washroom breaks were provided and spread out nicely. Some of the feedback I would suggest would be the first hotel we stayed at in Athens which was Fresh Hotel not be such a small room. There was limited space to put luggage and walk. We are a family of 3. The second suggestion is that if the places where we eat have more of a variety throughout the 5 days. We ate the same foods for lunch and dinner everyday. Some people were tired of eating the same foods every meal.Show moreDestination Services Greece commented on this reviewDear Olivia, Thank you for sharing your experience in Greece.

- CGChristine· July 3rd, 2024Georgina our guide was excellent she had a wealth of knowledge with great English. She was approachable and very friendly, it was very hot during our tour so she was always looking for a shady spot for the group to take shelter in so she could talk in depth about what we were seeing and any relevant information was needed. Costos our driver was a safe driver and friendly also. I would definitely choose the 4 star accommodation we stayed at some lovely Hotels particularly the Amelia Hotel in Delphi. The Grand Meteora Hotel was a let down its staff the least friendly also they charge 7Euro to use the pool. The food on the tour was plentiful I would suggest you choose the Buffet at Olympia. Very good value for money we covered 1400kms in the 4 days after leaving Athens. We had 18 in our group for the first two tours but were joined by 38 people after our morning touring Delphi. They stayed on the tour to Meteora then back to Athens. It was crowded on the bus and the dynamics of the tour changed but I would still recommend taking the tour.Show moreTrip date: June 2024
