I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, a wonderful combination of history, culture, food, and extraordinary natural beauty, not to mention magnificent monuments from the ancient past. I really appreciated exploring the islands on foot (the walks and hikes), the chances to swim, cool down (I’m not used to the heat!) and enjoy amazing food and good company. I truly fell in love with Greece. Our guide Peter was the BEST! I don’t think I’ve had a guide that matches him, he is “next level”. His love of Greece is infectious and matched only by his deep knowledge.
We enjoyed our time in Albania so much. The tour agency staff especially Sirma, she was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely return and book with this agency again.
I loved the opportunity to undertake a yacht sailing voyage for a week in safe hands, with good company and a good variety of interesting land excursions. For me the highlight was the nights a5 anchor in isolated bays with the opportunity to dive off the boat into crystal blue waters.
A lot of togetherness. If you?re going on this trip, be prepared for close quarters, shared duties, and a lot of time together. If that?s what you signed up for, then expect a fabulous journey to the Cyclades in Greece.
We got so much more out of it than what we expected for such good value. Matt is a very intelligent, helpful, professional and diplomatic tour leader and we wish him well for any of his future plans. The coach driver Babios was superb as was the coach.
It was the most amazing experience of my life, to date! I love that everything was pretty much planned for me. I didn't have to worry about details. We were given a few options on activities, which was perfect. I would highly recommend anyone doing a trip with G and I can't wait for another one myself.
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!
