Canada and Greece Tours and Trips

Our trip was amazing and it was made so by our tour guide Marieke Koenders. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, but she was personable and took care of our every need. She is the best of the best!

This was my first group tour trip as I was skeptical about the possible tight itinerary schedule. I have to admit that it was better than I expected. Our travel director and driver were fabulous. Kuddos to for his excellent driving and maneuvering skills. Top notch! was so knowledgeable, personable and simply a joy. I only have two negatives. Firstly, when I purchased this tour, the first day itinerary on your website was a little vague about the guided tour of the Acropolis. I intentionally contacted your Customer Support twice to speak with different reps, to question what we will be doing. I was informed that after breakfast, we would be leaving the Divani hotel at 7:30 am for an Athens bus city tour, then ending at the Acropolis Museum and having the rest of the day free to do whatever we wish. I asked if this Best of Greece package included a guided tour of the Acropolis and was told twice, absolutely not. I thought that was a little odd, so since I arrived three days prior to the start of this tour, my husband and I paid to see the Acropolis. During our first meeting at the start of the tour, I mentioned this to and she was surprised that I was told that as well, since she confirmed that both the Acropolis and the museum are included in this tour. Our second negative is that the comfort level of the mattresses at the Amelia Hotel were a hit and miss. Some where super firm, another soft and another medium firm. Not sure if anything can be done about that, but I can only comment that the one in Nafplio felt like we were sleeping on the floor. Additionally, overall the room was not very clean. The floor could have used a good mop, there was long black hair in the bathtub, the shower curtain only covered half of the the bathtub and the furniture looked tired. The shower heads in the rest of the Amelia hotels were a bit challenging to use, but the rooms were in better condition. Speaking to some of the other folks in our group, they commented the same thing about the bathrooms in Nafplio, and one said there was mold in the bathroom walls and there was a lot of peeling paint on the back of the bathroom door. Overall, I would certainly recommend to friends or family the Best of Greece tour with Trafalgar.

Maria was the greatest. I had so much fun! A great mix or relaxation and partying. Not as full on as a Contiki tour, which was great. Also Maria was literally so helpful and went out of her way to be helpful and kind and enjoyable. It was really nice to have someone do the planning for you, so I kind of felt like I was on vacation with a parent who just told me where to go or what to do, so I didn’t have to think about it.

The itinerary was very busy and always on the go. You do not have much time to rest. If you can't handle a fast pace adventure then this isn't for you. I had no idea about the amount of history that Greece has to offer. I was so impressed and learned so much there,The island is so beautiful and the food was amazing.

There were many! I loved the Plaka area, the ruins from the volcanic eruption, the cheese maker, our 6 am hike, hiking the volcano, farewell dinner with music and dancers.

The tour was rated as a 3 star but we Moved so fast that by the end of Santorini tour are legs were really tired. Could have used a bit more time to relax
