Athens Natural landmarks sightseeing Trips

The tour was indeed excellent. My favorite experiences were Philippi-- between the river and the church and the archaeological site, an incredible place!-- Ephesus, for the most amazing archeological site ever!-- and Meteora-- what a combination of geographical features and amazing monasteries. Having said that, Ephesus would be even better if you traded Mary's house for the Terrace Houses.

This was the second time we had been on the trip because we had enjoyed it so much the first time (May 2012). The itinerary was very similar but having a 'local' tour leader made the experience even better. Peter was able to provide background information and recommend places for eating, additional excursions, etc. He was particularly good at helping the group to 'gel' with his great sense of humour and keeping us engaged on long bus journeys. The official guides at sites such as Olympia, Mycenae and the Acropolis were also excellent, although we would have liked a little more time to explore freely at a couple of places, e.g. Delphi. We are aware that the itinerary was busy, however, and could not accommodate everything! Overall, it was an excellent tour which we would definitely recommend.

This trip was a good introduction to Greece, the islands and the ferry system. There was a good mix of organized activities and free time for exploration. The guide went out of her way to make sure everyone had options, geared to their interests and abilities. I enjoy walking/hiking, and there was plenty of opportunity to do that along breathtaking scenery. Overall, a great trip!

This was a great tour with the right mixture of planned activities, optional activities and free time. The walks on each of the islands were a highlight - the scenery inland was just as spectacular as the coast. Our tour leader Peter was knowledgeable, supportive and fun. We had a great group too!

My most memorable experience was at the site of Lydia's baptism. It was also excellent for a pilgrimage to allow time for our Priest to celebrate Mass. Our tour manager Marieke did a great job in teaching us about the history and culture of Greece. I could not ask for a better experience from our tour manager. There are a couple if areas that could be improved. Given the high cost of the tour, I think gratuities for local guides should be included and adding on the port fees at the last moment probably should have been an absorbed cost.

We had a great Peloponnesus tour with Peter! We experienced each historic sight with a preliminary briefing and all questions answered in detail. Our entire group got along very well!
