    After a bumpy start at Athens airport, the trip went very well. Our tour guide Thanos went out of his way for us. The hikes were varied and Thanos enriched them with interesting background information. Very friendly Hotel Galaxy Excellent choice of menus with explanations from Thanos in various tavernas

    What a great trip! Well organized and laid out, both a history lesson with lots of interesting stories and a lot of laughs. Thanos the guide leader was hands down the best guide I have ever experienced on a tour. I would follow him anywhere
