Greece and South Africa Tours and Trips

A lovely trip from start to finish, great leader, good group and just loved the different Greek Islands. The itinerary was just right with plenty of free time for relaxing.

Review. Walking in the footsteps of Paul; Stylianos (Tour Guide) was above and beyond in his knowledge of what we saw; moreover, his “sidebar” knowledge of the country and political history was top notch! Definitely covered a lot of sights in our 10 days? Memories, our/my first ever cruise 🚢, and visiting both the Acropolis museum and monument on top of the hill.

There were many highlights of this tour (in October)! The food was excellent - both the breakfasts in the hotels and the restaurants recommended by our tour leader George. The hotels all had very good accommodation. The guided tour of the Acropolis in Athens was fascinating. The 7 hour ferry ride from Athens to Naxos was tedious but smooth and comfortable. Naxos is a charming island - we loved the old town with its narrow, winding streets. The 5km walk to Apiranthos was very enjoyable, with wide views and the jangling bells of the goats. Then on to Santorini - what a stunning landscape! Discovering its volcanic history was fascinating, and the 10km hike along the caldera was tiring but gave fascinating, varied things to see. The prehistory museum in Fira with its nearly 4000 year old frescoes was amazing. And the boat trip was exciting as we visited and hiked up a recent volcanic island, and enjoyed a tasty dinner and a sunset on board. Throughout the trip our tour leader George was well organised, patient, knew many good restaurants and had a lovely sense of humour. Plus he taught us a lot about Greek history and culture. This tour is highly recommended!

Our tour manager was super. She made every experience perfect. She made our group come together seamlessly. She knew everything about everything: about shopping, restaurants, historic sites, traditions and culture. A fun, exciting experience!

Our guide Charlotte was the amazing...very knowledgeable, organised and efficient {a lot of coordinating transport from island to island}. Most of all she has a wonderful kind and caring personality...and managed to smile all the time!

If you get the driver and tour leader that we got everything works out well. Also each of the guides were very knowledgeable and pleasant. I would let future tourists ignore your luggage restrictions as no one else on our tour adhered to them and it was not a problem.
