    We got to see every place they promised, and nothing felt rushed. They were very meticulous about time management. With good hotels and great food, it turned out to be a fantastic tour experience. My favorites were the cruise and Rome. I highly recommend it to everyone. A big thanks to our Italy guide, Matteo, for his efforts and valuable insights!

    The tour guides were excellent—informative, organized, caring, fun, and approachable. There was a great balance between guided tours and free time to explore on our own. Most of the hotels and services were very good, and the food was fantastic! It’s a great way to experience the highlights of two incredible countries in one tour. A big thank you to everyone!

    It wasn’t the best tour I’ve been on, but I still found it above average. There were a few minor issues, and although they were resolved, as someone who’s quite particular, I can’t say it was great. However, it’s still worth trying.

    I joined this tour with my granddaughter and daughter, and we didn’t encounter any major issues. Since I enjoy staying active and walking, I found the three-day cruise a bit long—it might have been better if it lasted only a day. The guides and drivers did an excellent job. However, the staff at the hotels in Florence and Venice were quite rude. Rather than helping, they chose to ignore the small problems we had. Overall, it was a good experience, and my granddaughter was especially happy, which is enough for me.

    Italian and Greek cuisine is an absolute paradise for vegetarians. I have to start by saying that! I couldn’t get enough of the olive oil-based dishes and fresh salads. The cruise was also a truly special experience. It lasted three days and gave us a much-needed break after the busy schedule. Many thanks to all the Eskapas staff!

    It was fun, fast-paced, and friendly. If you're over 65, you might find it a bit tiring, but I definitely think it's worth it. You'll discover many amazing places across Italy and Greece, feel special during the cruise, and be supported by an excellent staff throughout the tour.

    The guides were knowledgeable and professional. The trip was great, with so many beautiful places, especially Venice and Rome. Our guide in Greece was very knowledgeable about Athens and Greek history. The accommodations were above average. While everyone loved the cruise, I personally preferred the land trips.

    The trip offered plenty of opportunities to explore beautiful destinations, with smooth organization and well-timed breaks along the way. The cruise experience, in particular, was amazing. It was my first cruise, and for three days, I felt like I was on cloud nine. An unforgettable journey from start to finish!

    It was an amazing trip with a fantastic tour guide and excellent coach drivers. I really enjoyed meeting new people along the way. I already have another trip planned with them.
