Germany and Greece Tours and Trips

A Really good trip. Weather was bad at the start of the trip and we missed one of the walks. Itinerary had to be changed around our Guide Smaro was great and looked after everyone. Crete was amazing and food was piled high, A salad could be a main meal at the size of it. A great Holiday with a good group.

Our itinerary has been wonderful! A big compliment to our great tour guide, Lisa . She has been a great leader. Very knowledgeable and have excellent people skills and good time management.

The tour was first class from start to finish including the transportation to and from the airports, the tour manager, bus driver and the accommodations. Our tour manager shared so much information about the Greek culture and its history. He also guided us to the best places to eat. Besides seeing important sights like the Parthenon, the Acropolis, the Akrotiri Museum and the Parliament building, I highly recommend the Mykonos Farmer as one of your excursions.

The itinerary was good but I found it confusing at times because what was in the printed document was not actually the same as what occurred. For example, the first night in Berlin there were two options in the printed material but in fact there was only one. Not sure if the travel director knew of this but it was not very clear when we started the tour

Tour of Acropolis was excellent but felt that there were other sites in Athens which should have been included. The Natiional Archaelogy Museum is a treasure and should have been a basis for all of the sites we visited all over Greece.. It was a wekl-planned itinerary which allowed us to see a wealth of famous historical sites as well as showing us some contemporary “slices of life”. Good tour director, site guides and driver as well as wuality a commodations, coach and meals.

This trip was suggested to me by a friend, but as an 83 year-old who ‘peaked’ more than 10 years ago I had some reservations about going on it. However, my fears were put to rest when I saw that the same hotel was used before and after the most challenging stage – the 14-mile final stretch of the northern trail, including the crossing of Mount Pantokrater. But in the event, although the terrain is hilly with some steep climbs I didn’t find any of the walking particularly difficult. It helped that a lot of the journey was on shady woodland tracks. Mt Pantokrator was quite an easy climb, the only challenge being the length of the day and the distance. Not having visited Corfu before I found it a fascinating place, and have many vivid memories of the trip. We were fortunate to have, in Spiros, a leader who was very knowledgeable about local history, politics and wildlife. He worked very hard to make the holiday enjoyable for us, including leading us on a beautiful coastal walk to Kassiopi on the free day. I only wish I had discovered the island earlier so that I could walk the southern section as well.
