Balkans Food Trips

I'll highly recommend tour. Very well organised.

The name of the tour ‘Treasures of Greece and the Islands’ really says it all! We experienced many of the iconic highlights from the breathtaking monasteries in Meteora to sunny Santorini and Mykonos, along with ancient ruins across Greece. It was a wonderful way to see beautiful Greece and learn about its rich history and culture. Our tour director was very experienced and an entertaining storyteller, which made the journey enjoyable. She was also extremely organised, which was especially valuable when we had to take the ferries for the island portion of the trip. The local experts brought the history to life at the various historical sites. Personally I found the hotels very comfortable, with friendly English speaking staff and they all had a great selection for breakfast. This was a trip of a lifetime for me so I opted for most of the additional experiences. Overall an amazing tour.

Excavations itinerary are repetitive. The islands itinerary are just the usual tourist shopping centers. The transports to and from the islanxs were very difficult, with the passengers carrying their luggages by ourselves which is very difficult for elderly guests like me. The optional activities are pricey that even on occasion include lunch or dinner that we have to pay for.

it is a good itinerary ... it focuses on a visit to an eastern capital.

It was a very good experience, but the days were long. I would have liked a bit more leisurely experience. I am assuming that is difficult to do and still see all the amazing things we did.

The mainland component of this tour was great, but the ferries out to the islands were pretty challenging with so many people and never ending chaos embarking and disembarking the ferries. However, once on the islands (Santorini and Mykonos) it was indeed a magical experience.
