    The communication through whatsapp was great. It kept me up to date in real time. As stated regarding collection times were 100% spot on. The tour was so well organized from hotel room to dinners and the sites. It was the same tour guide and bus driver for the whole 4 days. We had other groups join ours. It was a large coach. Comfortable and air conditioned. The tour guide Antony was a walking encyclopedia. He knew his history and kept us all intrigued and well informed. We saw Olympia, Delphi and Meteora. Other smaller stops along the way. Some parts of the tour were 4 hour road trips but we did stop every two hours for a break. We were taken to local restaurants for lunches with lovely Greek food to purchase. All sites were included in the tour price. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and appreciated that we were collected and dropped off to our hotels in Athens.

    The bus pick up was very inconvenient as we had to walk 12 minutes to and from the pick up point. Would have loved to stay at Creta Maris. The good side is the breakfast and dinner at the Hersonisos Maris. It wascvery helpful!!!
