    Great tour. Visited many historical sites and museums. Nice not having to drive all the long distances. Christina was a wonderful tour guide providing lots of information. Socrates our bus driver was very skilled in navigating the narrows streets of Greece. Made several new friends too. Highly recommend this tour.

    Unfortunately we had issues with the Types of HOTEL in Athens and some places, the communication with Tour radar was only via a portal and was not immediate. We had requested special meals and though promised was not available. We had serious issues with Lunch and dinner on the tour since we could hardly eat anything. If the bus stops at an all inclusive buffet that is 17Euros, and only thing we can eat is a salad and or Potatoes, is that fair on us? Others have all sorts of choices for the price they pay. Even at Dinner, there was nothing we could eat. At one place, we paid $8 for a basic salad, $1 for a bread. I would not recommend tour radar again specially those with dietary restrictions. They will go hungry.

    Our "Classical Greece" tour organised through Tourradar was fantastic and excellent value for money. The tour was well organised and the accomodation was fantastic and of a very high standard. We paid the additional cost to upgrade our accommodation from 3* to 4* and we were extremely happy we did, as all of our hotels were excellent - great service and luxurious. Also, the buffet breakfasts (provided every morning) were fantastic - excellent variety, quality ingredients and delicious. And our tour even included 3 delicious buffet dinners, which again were delicious! We also met some lovely people on tour and made some new friends, which was a bonus! Elie was our tour director and she was just lovely. Elie was very passionate about her job and very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. Furthermore, Elie was very approachable and moved at a comfortable pace, explaining everything whilst ensuring everyone could keep up, as there were people of different ages and abilities, not to mention that the weather was extremely hot and the terrain, sometimes quite difficult. Also, George was our bus driver, and he did a great job, driving very safely through some very narrow roads and keeping us all on schedule, as well as loading and uploading all of our luggage at every hotel. Thank-you to all of you - Great job guys! We loved our tour and have some wonderful memories to enjoy and remember. Would highly Tourradar Tours and will gladly book with them again.

    Overall it was a good tour and it was very educational, but there is a lot of time spent sitting down on the bus. Additionally, the stops for food/cafeteria (the lunch and afternoon break stops) are not the best and you don’t always get choice, so just be prepared for that. I was put on a bus with a French and English tour guide, which I wasn’t expecting (so they did the explanations in both languages).

    The itinerary was good but the guide Thomas brought the history to life with his in depth knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. 4 * hotels were fairly good but the 3* options had a much better location outside of Athens. If you want to wander the towns after a long days travel, they might be better value.

    A very well organized tour. Very good choice of hotels. Excellent guides - they were very knowledgeable and accommodating. The bus driver was very professional and helpful. The visits to the many sites were loaded with information. Some like the Acropolis, Ancient Olympia and Meteora were simply amazing. Again the only inconvenience was the lack of efficient communication regarding the airport/hotel transfer arrangements which caused me to have to use the emergency contact to get a response.

    Overall good to excellent. The guided tour of Athens and the 4 day classical tour was excellent with very comfortable travel arrangements, The hotel accommodation in Athens was bit basic and could have been better. The rooms were barely functional and had stale tobacco smell. However the accommodation for the classical tour was excellent . We were especially impressed with Thomas, our tour guide for the the classical tour. Thomas and George (the coach driver) were friendly and very courteous, Thomas was remarkebly fluent in English, was very knowledgable and informative.
