    I cannot recommend Choose Balklands highly enough. From the moment we first contacted them, to the booking of the tour, to the tour itself, we felt we were always well looked after. All our questions and requests were answered and managed in a very timely fashion. The chosen accommodation was exactly what was expected, and well planned out for location. Communication throughout our tour from the head office to check how our tour was going and if we needed anything was fantastic. Our driver was always ensuring that we were comfortable, was flexible with if we wanted to do something different should it be possible, and was always ensuring that we were well looked after.

    Elton was a very knowledgeable and caring driver and tour guide. He endeavoured to allow all participants the best experience for them. The only negative remark is that there was a delay in repairing a tyre that was obviously faulty and we had a blow out on the road. A new car was organised quickly as there was an issue with another tyre.

    An absolutely amazing tour would highly recommend. There was only 3 at the beginning of the tour then they left after 7 days so I had Ana for the rest of the tour by myself. What an amazing young lady she is. Was a great driver and went out of her way to make sure I never slipped on the pavers as I had not long had a knee replacement. She’s the best, very polite and made sure if we needed a bathroom she would organise The girl at the apartment was great as well she was there to call if needed They stay in touch by WhatsApp if you need anything they are just a message away I am going home to promote Choose Balkins they are an amazing company Thank you for the awesome Tour

    Excellent! Very well organised, extremely interesting and informative. The most famous ancient sites in Greece mixed with lots of cultural activities and a variety of geographical areas. Our tour director, Nikos Kontogiannis, was superb. Nikos has a great sense of humour, is extremely knowledgable and an excellent organiser. We were very impressed!
