Candee E. | Traveled in November
This was my first trip to Europe (Greece) and also first going with a tour company. Wasn’t sure if i would like the structure of being scheduled all the time. But I was pleasantly surprised at the seamless experience and our tour manager couldn’t have been better. Amanda was absolutely the best. She was knowledgeable, funny, compassionate and so kind. Had the best time. The experience was the perfect amount of all experiences. If there was anything that would make it better would maybe be a day of free time. I would recommend to anyone wanting to see Greece.

I’ve been wanting to go to Greece for its history, a sim so glad my wish have come true! It was a lot of walking and climbing but soo worth it! Our tour director JANITA & driver Pirro are the best! They made our long bus trips very comfortable and the bus was always kept clean . i’ve done a lot of traveling with other tour groups but this is the most enjoyable trip for me. The hotels were very nice and clean and the Greek people are so nice and friendly. Most of all, we found the best chocolates! i wish we bought a whole suitcase! 😂

Athens was hectic. It would have been nice to have dinner included after the tiresome day. Maybe another day at Athens would be easier on the knees and physical stamina of senior citizens.
