Arrangements were efficient, the hotel was lovely, the reception and meal on
arrival was most welcoming.
Walking was as brochure said and the town/suburbs was abundant with flowering
plants.
Evening meals easily available at very reasonable prices.
The guide was full of interesting information about the historical context of
the island.
As ever the greatest fun was meeting the excellent other holiday makers!
The hotel were very attentive to providing me with "gluten free" meals.

This is my second time with Expat as a joiner to another memorable European tour. Everything ran smoothly. Guests were well-informed of every detail of the itinerary. Other options to explore every city were provided.
Thanks to Aileen and Bobby! Ciao!

Stunning coastal paths, delicious Catalan food and wine and a fantastic tour leader who was brilliant at tailoring the experiences to our various preferences. Our trip included a variety of different experiences - from hiking beautiful coastal paths, to spotting exotic birds in a nature reserve, to wine tasting at an architecturally-renowned winery, to exploring Dali's weird and wonderful summer house.

My cousin Andy and I finally made our long-planned trip to Greece a reality, and finding a tour that also included a cruise and Turkey’s top sites was the icing on the cake. We’re so glad we booked this one!
