Charles | Traveled in September
The tour was wonderful, it was our first trip to Greece. But to sum it up with a short sentence would have to involve giving our tour leader Nicolas Dimitriou all the credit. I can?t imagine the tour without Nic. His enthusiasm, passion, endless stories and laughter Made the trip and the tour a fantastic experience. Thank you, Nicholas Dimitriou.
Mary-Jane | Traveled in September
I was excited to experience Greece & loved the variety of what the trip offered. Athens history, city area- sunsets, Island hopping , time on & in the water at beaches and off boats, wine tours, food & hiking ! Some of my favorite things. And our guide Nikos pulled it all together ... he was exceptional! The whole package! JT took true pressure off me having to make decisions ! Thank you Gdventures!
Meghan | Traveled in September
We had a fantastic time and enjoyed having access to some of the smaller, less travelled islands. We had experiences we wouldn't have had on a self-guided trip and the opportunity to meet other travellers (I actually added a week of travel in another country with a friend I met on the boat!). This was a cool way to experience Greece and I am excited to try other G Adventures tours in the future!
Gill | Traveled in September
A delightful well-paced trip with so many different parts of Greek history. As well as our tour leader we had excellent guides who brought the history alive. There was plenty of free time too. Our leader made sure we had a variety of eating experiences at different types of restaurant. There are a lot of steps on this trip (Greece is mountainous, of course!) so only do it if your knees are up to it!!
Sarah Walker | Traveled in September

Excellent tour leader and amazing driver. We visited a wonderful selection of incredible sites and learnt lots about both ancient and modern-day Greece. The pace was just right and the team were extremely helpful, providing tips on post-tour destinations. And the participants were a lovely group of people and welcomed me as a solo traveller. Highly recommended.
