My last trip booked with Tourrader was operated by Travel Talk. It was a 10 day tour of the Balkan Region of Eastern Europe. It was a group adventure with about 35 people.

The tour director who met me at the Titania hotel was very organized and professional, Thanassis Bourliaskos. My taxi driver was waiting for me at the airport and took me directly to my hotel, the Titania. Beautiful hotel with good buffet breakfast. I would have liked to stop at more tourist sites in Greece. I booked the excursion for Sounion and Temple of Poseiden. Took longer than 1 hour to arrive on the bus. Okay. Visited the Acropolis museum and the Acropolis. So awesome!! Meteora was beautiful inside the monasteries but no pictures inside. Picturesque views outside the monasteries. We visited 2 monasteries. There was a 3 day cruise to Mykonos, Kusadasi with an Ephesus excursion. Mykonos is a beautiful island walking along the shore with lots of shopping. Ephesus is one of the largest archeological sites. Patmos excursion was amazing to visit the cave where St John wrote Revelation in the Bible and also included was St John's monastery. Cruise also included Crete and Santorini. I wish I would have rode the donkeys up and down the mountain. I paid to visit the village which is very crowded with narrow pathways. I had a great time and met some very interesting people. The waiters on the cruise, Celestyl were very kind and courteous. Excellent service!! I would highly recommend this 8 day tour and cruise on the Aegean sea.

The tour was perfectly planned, you could get to know each city briefly and at the same time discover as much as possible in the short time. The accommodation and staff were very nice and accommodating. Francis was a very nice and helpful bus and tour guide who always responded to the travelers' questions. For example, we were allowed to request two favorite songs, from which he put together a playlist for the end of the tour. The round trip was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend it in terms of value for money (especially for all England fans :)
