Culture Trip commented on this reviewThank you so much for your review! We are glad that you had a great time on our Greek Island Odyssey trip and we hope to see you again soon!Trip date: July 2023- ACara, Scott and Caitlin· June 13th, 2023Dream Trip! We loved everything about our Culture Trip Greek Island Odyssey adventure! Our guide, Sylvia, was the BEST! She was super organized, knew all the tips and tricks of our destinations so everything ran smoothly, plus was a ton of fun to be with. The itinerary was packed with a great balance of activities that enhanced our understanding of the islands we visited. There was something for everyone- beautiful hikes/sunsets/sailing, cooking class, museums and Archeological sites, great restaurants and free time to go our own way if we wanted. Loved the expertise and perspective the local guides provided in each location. Would definitely book a Culture Trip experience again! Thanks!!Show moreTrip date: April 2023Review collected by Culture Trip
- AJohn· September 23rd, 2022I was skeptical about signing up for a tour. I usually think tours were things my parents and grandparents going on tours and I usually plan my own trip. After our wedding, though, we didn't want to plan anything. Culturetrip changed our perception of tours. The group was younger and the activities were things I might have planned myself. There was a good mix of tourist attractions, off-the-beaten-path locations and varied activities. Our guide was amazing and added color at every step along the way. We are already thinking about which tour we'll do next.Show moreTrip date: September 2022Review collected by Culture Trip
- AAmber· September 20th, 2022The Culture Trip Greece tour was really amazing. While we were unable to make it to Milos due to the ferries and flights out of Athens being cancelled due to high winds, our tour guide, Sylvia, made sure everything was handled seamlessly and had ideas for us to enjoy our extra day in Athens. Once the ferries resumed, we decided to skip Milos all together for some extra time in Naxos, where the cooking class and boat tour were particularly enjoyable and special. If you take this trip, I hope you get Sylvia as your guide, she was the most amazing tour guide I've had, and really helped to make this trip so amazing. She always made sure we were taken care of, that we had ideas for restaurants to try, or places to explore. Often times she joined us as well! I do hope that this trip is modified to include an extra day in Santorini and the hotel is changed from the airport area (where there isnt really anything to do) to the one of the main parts of the island (Oia, Fira, Imerovigli) - You'll want to spend all your time in these areas anyway! Overall a great trip with a really great and energetic group.Show moreTrip date: September 2022Review collected by Culture Trip
- AJanet· September 16th, 2022Our Local guide was phenomenal and made us feel like we were traveling on the 'inside' while making sure all of our travel plans were taken care of. I now can't imagine traveling without this type of experience.Show moreTrip date: September 2022Review collected by Culture Trip

Asked on September 9th, 2024Is the cost of this tour in Australian dollar or US dollars? What is the fitness requirement and or activity rating for this tour?
- Culture TripOperator•Written September 2024
You should see the currency type next to the tour price. I am in the US so for me it states US$ next to the price, for AU it would show as AU$. The trip is rated as light so there isn't anything strenuous that you will be doing. We explore a lot of places by foot so I would recommend being comfortable on your feet for extended periods.
