Athens Local culture Trips

The itinerary was excellent, covering the general points of interest across the country. I would suggest some sort of list for other areas/places that are not included to entice people back to the country. The distances covered are broken up well with comfort stops. Our guide also suggested that we visit the Acropolis museum which was not included. We had 3 days in Athens after the tour and enjoyed a half day tour to the beach which was magical. I would suggest an option of extra days with a beach day perhaps.

The trip was filled with amazing historical sites as well as the opportunity to experience Greek culture through food and shopping. We had no worries - our tour director, did a fabulous job of keeping us on track and well informed. She had lots of fun facts and always displayed respect and patience with our group. Our driver, was very competent as he navigated through some very challenging streets.

Beautiful country, fabulous history with top notch local experts, and an amazing travel director made the journey amazing. However, lots of uneven stairs and climbing to reach the sites. Doable, but be prepared.

Our guide, Jason, was excellent. Actually, all of our guides were good. The food at the restaurant in Burano and at our cooking lesson in Greece was very good. We wish we would have had more time at the Vatican and at the church at Meteora. We made lovely memories.

The tour was great. We wanted to see as much as possible and relaxation was not a priority and we got what we wanted. was an outstanding tour guide and very helpful. We were surprised by the amount of "optional fee-based excursions" and expected that many of those would have been included in the tour package. That ended up costing more than anticipated and that was not fully understood before the trip. The tour group size of 48 was too large and made it difficult to manage. The best meal experiences we had were the couple we broke off from the group and went to our own restaurants. The large group meals felt a little like large batch wedding banquet food due to the large group. Overall it was an outstanding tour and I would do it again and highly recommend it to others.

I’ve taken other trips with insight and I will have to say our tour director was the best tour director I ever had! I loved her. She was so informative and had so many stories to tell us of Greece. If anyone has the opportunity to do a tour with do it! She is fantastic
