Embark on an unforgettable 7-day tour that takes you deep into the heart of Classical Greece. Begin in Athens, exploring the magnificent Acropolis and its iconic landmarks. Journey through the mythical Peloponnese to the UNESCO site of Mycenae, home of the legendary Agamemnon, and visit the ancient theater of Epidaurus. Discover the birthplace of the Olympic Games at Olympia, then travel to the spiritual center of the ancient world at Delphi. Your adventure culminates at the breathtaking Meteora, where monasteries cling to colossal rock formations, before returning to Athens. This is more than a tour; it’s a timeless odyssey through the history, legends, and stunning landscapes of Greece.
Overall, this was one of the best trips ever. One suggestion I have, in the past the tour stared off with a tipping kitty that the CEO would collect at the beginning of the tour. Please bring the back. It is very confusing when the people on the tour must figure out how much to tip the drivers and other axillary staff. Please bring it back!!!!!!

Loved the tour & our tour leader (Marty) was fantastic. We enjoyed every part of this tour from the history, the relics, museums, guided tours. The Monasteries of Meteora & the small town of Kalampaka were something else & the amazing day trips from the beautiful islands where we swam from the boat & from the gorgeous beaches was yet another highlight. This tour went way beyond our expectations & I would highly recommend.

Wonderful trip with our guide Lisa. The itinerary was good, but many long bus rides-which is necessary to cover mainland Greece and get in as much as we did in 7 full days. Would have loved to have an overnight stay in Nafplio. Enjoyed staying in hotels within walking distance to the towns-made it really easy to just go during free times. The dinner buffets at the hotels were not my favorite but understand why since a couple nights we were getting into the hotels late due to traveling. Kalabaka and Meteora were a highlight for me. The Olive Farm and Cooking night were wonderful. Both the Santorini and Mykonos stays were wonderful. The optional catamaran excursion on Santorini was great.
