Customer Reviews

  • Northern Greece with Meteora, Delphi and Thessaloniki reviewer 1
    · September 26th, 2025
    The destinations were wonderful and our guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. We were disappointed with the lack of communication from Tour Radar regarding where we were staying. The meals provided as part of the tour and the restaurants we were taken to for an additional cost were mostly forgettable

    Tony

    Asked on April 15th, 2024

    I might arrive at the airport at 22:30. So, a bit late to arrive on the first day. But the tour starts on the second day. My question is if I can still check in that late.
