Tour Director & driver were excellent, very informative was fun to be with & made the tour very enjoyable Enjoyed all the sites with the local guides who were also excellent as well
Mita D. | Traveled in September
Everything was seamless! It was a well- balanced trip encompassing high octane and leisure to make this less hectic! The land tour was pulsating so we could absorb the highlights and the Islands gave us enough time to chill, shop, and scout out at our pace! We still did see quite a bit! Our Travel Director , was stellar! She accommodated everyone with her diligence! She was the icing on the cake with her wit and efficiency! Just one downside not too many meals were included on the Island portion, but it also gave us flexibility to do as we desired! TTC brand rocks!
Maree B. | Traveled in September
This tour was a great mix of mainland Greece and the Islands. Lots of history and the visits to the ancient sites were all conducted by really knowledgeable guides. Accommodation was first class and the Insight guide was amazing.

This tour is a nice mix of the history on the mainland of Greece and the fun and beauty of the islands of Santorini and Mykonos. The pace with stays of two or three days is also nice and allows for a bit more free time.
