We just got back from the Best of Europe (22 day tour) and it was an amazing experience, but group travel is not for everyone. If you want to meet new people to explore Europe with & can handle being on a schedule - then group travel is for you. If you want to isolate yourself, have trouble with compromise, and are looking to complain about your fellow travelers and the tour guide - then group travel is not for you.
Emma (tour guide) was amazing and reminded professional throughout the tour. She was always willing to answer questions and give a quick history & language lesson about the different cities in Europe. She made the entire trip enjoyable and manageable as she is an excellent communicator.
As for the tour itself, there are a lot of cities and, at times, it's hard to keep them straight - but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This tour gives you a good sense of what Europe is like and where one may want to visit again. The local tour guides were very good for the most part

Amazing Tour of Southern Italy ,Saw so many wonderful places and awesome experiences, We could never have organised visiting so many beautiful places by ourselves. The optional tours were a bonus and gave us choices , Met so many wonderful people on the tour from many parts of the world . Highly recommend going on an Expat tour,

The Taste of Greece tour starts at Athens and Ends in Athens at the same Candia Hotel where in the rooftop have swimming pool for cooling down overlooking a magnificent view of Acropolis. The timings and arrangement of daily activities were spot on on time, not hectic and no pressure affect on me or anyone I think. Smooth planning of our tour leader Marty is the key to all that smooth run. Thasos our Greek God driver made a huge contibution as well for our safety and safe travel of all places we went to. Our Coffee stops and bathroom breaks helps us stretch up and able to get our snacks along the way, so I never seen anyone uses the toilet in the coach. Cold water is also available for your purchase at Fifty Cents Euro at the Coach. Everyone elses get along very well and we have our favourite Greek music played along to warn you or a waking up sign as we are very close to our destinations. The tour guides hired for history telling were all so knowledgeable, facts and use of photographs
