Reviews of our Athens Tours for December
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Athens during December.
Tiffany H. | Traveled in December
Although I was hesitant to be part of a specific schedule, the experience was good. Met some great people and feel that we saw things we would not have been able to experience on our own. The guide was absolutely amazing. If she didn’t know the answer (which I observed as being RARE), she found out and followed up. So knowledgeable about so many different things, very professional and super helpful.
Nicole S. | Traveled in December
I want to go back to the part where we visited the Greek islands by cruise! I almost cried when it was over. It was a great tour. Everything was so perfect!
Lucy D. | Traveled in December
When the tour ended and I returned home, I felt a sense of happiness and freshness. It was a very fun and informative tour. The quality of the guide and the drivers were incredibly good. I recommend it.
Aspen Adams | Traveled in December
A great trip from Istanbul to Athens. We felt like family from the first moment. The support at the airport was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very kind to our children. I also brought my elderly mother and she was treated like royalty. This tour was one of the best we have been on. Our schedule was designed to avoid crowds so we had extra time to learn more about the sites we visited.Highly recommend the Guide Recep which greatly enhanced our experience and was of great value To do.
Kiara Craig | Traveled in December
The tour is short but intense. The hotel and its location have been carefully selected to satisfy a difficult solo traveler like me. Hotel breakfast is great. Both the Turkish and Greek guides were good. i recommend it

I have never been on an organised group holiday trip before, but have travelled independently regularly, so it was with some trepidation that I joined the trip to Evia. I need not have worried- the company was fantastic and having a knowledgable guide brought the walking experience alive in a way that I would never have acheived travelling by myself.
