Peter Helmy, our tour leader, was insightful. The temples and other sites we visited were all stunning but Peter succinctly summed up the history of the places and made us appreciate it even more. Although our tour group came from different parts of the world , I am sure we all Love Egypt and will cherish our experiences.
Discover the wonders of Greece on this 9-day journey from Athens to Santorini. Explore ancient Athens and visit landmarks like the Acropolis and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Travel north to the sanctuary of Delphi and the soaring rock-top monasteries of Meteora. Then island-hop to Mykonos, known for its whitewashed streets and iconic windmills, before arriving in Santorini, famed for its volcanic views and cliffside villages.
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!!!!!!
Long bus journey but worth it. Major sights visited in Istanbul city.
Gallipolli and Troy well worth visit,very interesting,hard to imagine human cost of war.Trenches still visable. Lots of archaeology at Troy and replica of wooden horse to go in. Good photo opportunities. Ephesus with ancient streets,roman toilets,columns,mosaics and carving of menorah. Amazing amphitheatre at Parmakeele,The Thermal Springs. Lots of people but lots of space. White rocks fab,water not warm,skin felt refreshed after dip. Hotels used were high quality. Breakfasts delicious. Time to visit museum shops and time for coffee break.
Guide allowed plenty of toilet stops.
Start your 9 day, once in a lifetime experience in Athens, a world capital of cultural and historical heritage before you hit the water to relax and unwind on some of Greece’s most beautiful islands. Party till dawn in Mykonos, get lost in the maze of streets; watch the world’s most beautiful sunset in Santorini after a long day of swimming and end your tour in breathtaking Ios.
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 loved Egypt and Peter was a huge part of why. He was organised, efficient, friendly and always contactable. Peter has amazing knowledge and insight, excellent English and a wonderful personality. A big part of why we enjoyed his tour so much was Peter. If Peter is your guide you cant go wrong!
