I was going to give this trip 4 stars but to be honest I couldn't think of any reason why it doesn't deserve 5 stars as it was an amazing holiday.
This was my first holiday of this type and it really was ace, I was lucky enough to be there with 7 other guests that were pretty awesome, we all got on pretty well and had a bit of friendly banter between us all.
I basiically put this down as a holiday of a lifetime and I will be doing more exodus trips based on how much fun I had on this one.

Our tour leader Emiliano did a very good job with us, my only complain was our overnight at the Ship hotel. Took a long walk carrying our luggage's and no elevator to bring us up inspite we were already tired. Food for breakfast is good enough and our free dinners may not be the best but it is alright.
The tour provides a sampling of the shrines of Italy. I wanted to see the home of Padre Pio and was not disappointed. I was lucky enough to experience a spiritual light here My son died of cancer and followed Padre Pio and it was here I finally knew he was at peace and so was I . The stories of the Nazareth at the church in Lareto was amazing. It would have been nicer to spend more time there. This tour is not for people who cannot do stairs, some of the churches require walking up and down. Food in some of the places was was like banquet food and was terrible at the dinners. The pasta was great but some of the meats were horrible, some of the food was oversalted. Breakfast was the best.

The tour included many nice stops. The tour guide was very young and inexperienced, however, he made the tour enjoyable. The stop at Elvas was awful. The town was vacant and nothing was open for dinner. We had to eat at the hotel but they weren’t prepared to feed the entire tour group. That was poor planning! The hotel was beautiful but my room overlooked what looked like a slum with barking dogs all night. My favorite spot was Peñíscola where I would have like to spend more time. Also would have liked more shopping time alotted. Otherwise the trip was very nice and I would recommend it.
Tour of Acropolis was excellent but felt that there were other sites in Athens which should have been included. The Natiional Archaelogy Museum is a treasure and should have been a basis for all of the sites we visited all over Greece..
It was a wekl-planned itinerary which allowed us to see a wealth of famous historical sites as well as showing us some contemporary “slices of life”.
Good tour director, site guides and driver as well as wuality a commodations, coach and meals.
Clever to schedule Paris tours on the weekend when there is less traffic. The long bus rides were nicely paced to include good rest stops and small villages to walk about. Happy to discover Lyon, Nice and Avignon.
Excellent tour. Amalfi Coast, Matera and Otranto were stunning. Most memorable experience were the private concert in Napoli and the Leece dancing group.
