Kind regards, AysegulTrip date: May 2025 - AGabriel P.· November 21st, 2024We 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.

- AIvy N.· November 21st, 2024The 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.

- AJulian H.· November 21st, 2024It 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.Show moreTrip date: October 2023Review collected by Eskapas

- APatrick T.· November 21st, 2024I 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.Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewThank you for your review.

- AMateo R· November 21st, 2024Italian 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!Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewThank you for your time to review us. Regards, AysegulTrip date: September 2024Review collected by Eskapas

Asked on July 18th, 2025Is there an option to add a couple of days Istambul city tour with this package?
EskapasOperator•Written July 2025Yes, we can definitely add an Istanbul city break to your trip, including guided visits, hotel accommodation, and airport transfers. Could you please let me know how many days you'd like to stay in Istanbul? Also, will you be booking your flights on your own, or would you prefer us to assist with that? Just a heads-up—October availability is very limited, so I recommend moving forward quickly to secure your spot.

Asked on July 13th, 2025We want to be in one room. We are open to vacation rental that are completely private or hotels with ample space but all together. We just returned from a trip to Africa. It a little weird in that way. Our 14-year-old… They wanted him in his own room and that was odd for us. Obviously his own bed but… we'd like w1 king size bed for myself, my husband and our to be six-year-old and a smaller bed for the older kiddo is ideal.
- EskapasOperator•Written July 2025
The reason behind the idea of accommodation 2 people in one room (max 3 people in a room) the hotels are built that way during their construction plan. The family rooms are usually in resort hotels. We can accommodate four in a room during Greece part including in the cruise ship and in Athens together. Unfortunately the trip in Italy offers double, single, triple room.

Traveler•Written July 2025We only need a king size bed and a smaller bed so whatever works but we can't separate our family. You know what I mean.

Being pescatarian won't be a problem—you'll find plenty of suitable options while traveling in both Greece and Italy. I recommend informing your tour leader in Italy when you meet them, just to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Asked on August 28th, 2024I want to book the 12 day tour of Italy and 3 day cruise of greek islands. I saw somewhere it said vativan. Which is what we want. But dont see it in itinerary. There is a trip to some small town for the day. Can we somehow stay in rome and book the vatican rather than easte a day in something we don't want.
- EskapasOperator•Written August 2024
We can customize the program for you. On Day 2, instead of visiting the Colosseum, we can arrange a tour of the Vatican for you. Another option would be to arrive in Rome a day earlier. We can arrange pre-tour accommodation and a Vatican tour on that extra day at an additional cost.
- EskapasOperator•Written August 2024
Since Day 2 falls on a Sunday, the Vatican will be closed. The best option would be for you to arrive a day earlier, allowing us to arrange the Vatican visit for Saturday.

Asked on July 19th, 2024are the hotel beds single person sized or more than 2 people? We were trying to book a TRIPLE room but it did not let us because it says only 2 travelers.
- EskapasOperator•Written July 2024
The system doesn't allow you to book because this trip is sold out until March 2025. We recommend you to book 16-day Italy and Greece Highlights with Island Hopping Tour.
