I had an amazing time. Both trip managers were wonderful, super helpful and lots of fun. I really enjoyed all the places we went and the activities. Going in May was definitely a good idea, the weather was warm but not too hot and the crowds were an okay size.
This was a great trip. The leader, Manny (Mahnai), was excellent. The accommodations, while not high-end, were certainly adequate, especially considering you will be spending very little time at the hotel. The places we visited were all beautiful and the food was amazing. The highlight was probably the private boat tour to Capri. One thing to be aware of: there is a lot of walking involved, at least on a few days of the trip. Nothing too physically taxing, but you will put in some kilometers on certain days.
Amazing experience!! met the best people and had the best time! London to Athens was very jam packed and exciting, the greek island hopping was relaxing but also had lots of parties so it was a great way to end the trip!!
