Jeremy K. | Traveled in December
I wanted to see the the historical highlights of the Peloponnese and this was a perfect way to do it. Visits to the Acropolis, Olympia and Delphi were peak lifetime experiences and the other places visited were rich with interesting and informative sites and artifacts. The local guides were well informed and added to the experience. The accommodations were very comfortable, some in spectacular locations. The food was very good and in some cases excellent, especially the optional dining experiences. The bus was new and comfortable and the driver kept it pristine and was excellent at negotiating the tight streets in towns. There are some long rides on this tour. But the real gem was our tour director. Her knowledge of history, mythology and local culture was astonishing and she delivered it clearly with passion and a touch of humour .She also managed challenges with aplomb and looked after each member of our group with respect and attention to their individual needs
