    This tour was a great weekend getaway for my family. We had a really warm welcome at the airport even though our flight was a bit delayed. Both drivers we had were really professional and they even shared some of their personal stories about the city. The hotel was just amazing! We could walk everywhere, the rooms were great, and my fav part about the hotel was the rooftop bar with a great pool and an incredible (360 degrees) view of Athens! Communication with the Destination Services Team was always efficient and we received the answers to our questions quickly. I would def recommend this if you are looking for a short but sweet escape.

    Well organised tour to many of the major sites of mainland Greece. The tour leader Antonio was highly knowledgeable on Greek history, friendly and amusing. Long distances were involved at times across mountainous terrain, well handled by our drivers, Nicos and Andreos. Hotels were generally of high standard, best in Thessaloniki (Grand), average in Athens (Smart Hotel). Dinner and breakfast were buffet style and good. Lunch was at restaurants on the road, full meals, no light sandwiches, etc.
