This was a trip of a lifetime! Every turn on this trip was like a page in my old geography/history books. The food was exceptional throughout the trip. Our tour guide, Savvos, was the best! It is evident he loves his job. However, the activity level of this trip needs to be rated higher, in my opinion. I understand that the nature of the islands means more walking and climbing because of where most attractions were located, but I believe the activity level should be 4 or 5 as a result. I will scrutinize all trips in the future.
The trip was for my wife and I’s honeymoon. It was the best trip I have been on. Very well structured and organised. Our trip manager was so helpful and informative. She was lovely and made the trip very special for wife’s birthday mid tour. The Acropolis site, Meteora and Delphi were incredible sights and experiences. Stepping out of our comfort zone at the Bee farm was so much fun and very informative. The accommodation was more than suitable and we would happily do this trip over and over again. Definitely something that my wife and I will not forget. The people we met and the memories we made are priceless.
