  The tour was excellent, seeing so many ancient sites. Our drivers were very good and knowledgeable, especially Gianni, although Christof had trouble with English (note that our contract included an English speaking driver) We were impressed by all of the tour guides with a special shout out to Katerina (Mycenae), Domenika (Meteora), and Elena at Olympia. Our group of 8 agree that we learned so much about the geography of Greece, its agriculture, its history, and the beauty of the country. We found that the days were long, often not arriving to our hotels by 6:30 or 7PM. Perhaps a down day mid tour would allow travelers to recharge their batteries - maybe at Thessaloniki? Our group chose not to do the sunset cruise at Santorini and no other options were given. We found a 5 hour tour by a local company on our own. Something like this could be offered as an option. Leaving for Mykonos at 5:45 was fine but the boxed breakfast was poor. As it turned out the Arethusa had breakfast opened at 5:00. Had we known this, it would have been a better option. Other comments from our group: We appreciated the central location of our hotels in Athens and Thessaloniki as they gave easy access to the city’s sites. It would have been nice to arrive in Nafplio earlier in the day to provide an opportunity to explore the town. We would have appreciated getting information about the day's itinerary to know the approximate length of the day and info regarding lunch stops. Providing this the day before or early on the day of travel would have been good. Ten hour days were a bit long. In addition to the above, we would add that an alternative tour of Mykonos be added particularly, if the tour of the islands was at the end. By that time we would have seen many more spectacular ruins than were on Delos. It seemed like the 100km per hour speed limit for the larger van created some timing issues for the drivers. Perhaps your schedule could be adjusted to take that into account and thus allow for a lunch break each day and avoid very long hours on the road. It might mean extending the tour by a day or two. The drivers were great as were the guides and most of the hotels and breakfasts. I’m not sure the hotel in Nafplio was an upgrade. Tiny room facing an alleyway. Greece is a beautiful country and we have returned home with some wonderful memories.

  We took the Honeymoon tour from Athens to Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, Corfu and back to Athens. We're not honeymooners, just two older ladies, and it was wonderful. Aside from a very minor glitch, everything was provided just as it was promised in the brochure. The drivers, cars and included tours were top of the line. I'm definitely planning to travel to Greece again in the near future, and will definitely do it through Tour Radar. I highly recommend them.

  Yannis - our driver and guide was outstanding. Full of information and a pleasure to be with. He was always there when needed and provided necessary context to put the amazing places we visited into context. Downside was that some of the hotels were less than expected given the premium pricing and a couple of administrative issues on the second leg of the trip regarding timing, we’re unexpected especially considering the high bar set by Yannis during the pre-island portion of the journey. Overall a very comprehensive introduction to a great country.
