Overall the trip was excellent barring our hotel stay at Heraklion. The rooms could have been better and the bathroom was very small including the bathing space. Better accommodation could have been arranged.
Although I got a good understanding of what my trip would entail, some of the details such as times of activities and hotel selections were a bit unclear until last minute.
Fast paced and organised, we saw so much on the way it was the only way to go! Tour director was very informative and the hotels we stayed at were great.
Overall i had a good time. the things i didnt like were the overpacked itinaries, due to that, people usually left hotels at 0730 in the morning and checked into hotels at 1030pm the same day. this should be limited to a maximum of 12 hrs. other things included hotels not being in central areas or places where we could as travellers find it easy to commute especially after dropping us off in the city and not offering a pick up back to the hotels. due to it being summer most of us were sticky, hot and less than impressed. the tour guides seemed to work to their bone and was difficult to get large groups gathered..not that it was the tour guides fault but the amount of people in each group. being a single travller, i joined about 5 groups so i can say that was definitely the case everytime. one of the days we were dropped off at X location and told that we would be picked up at Y location. we all felt lost.. ended up getting a taxi just to get from lost point to Y to get the bus to the hotel.
being a single traveller, i didnt get to know who i was paired with all the time and some hotels only had 1 key which made life very difficult for both of us.
also, some groups had dinners packaged with their trips this wasnt told to me so the 2nd day i followed a group and basically was told i couldnt join in so i had to loiter around to another restaurant barely knew what they served and had a terrible meal.
overall, 5/10.
i wouldnt travel with europamundo again.
