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!!!!!!
A very busy itinerary in which we saw and walked some of the Greek islands, however at any point there were options to arrange to do your ‘own thing’. As a guide overall we walked 125km throughout the whole holiday.
The guide tells you so much which makes the trips so much more interesting and enjoyable. Some of the optional trips are chargeable.
The hotels were varied but all were clean. The breakfasts were adequate and were the same in most hotels. With such a busy schedule you need a good sleep but we did find the mattresses were too firm for us, waking with a few aches and pains!
Have traveled with g @dventures 4 times.
Once with a group of 3 friends, twice with my cousin, and solo. Every time has been amazing.
Tour itineraries are accurate. Small groups have united quickly. I am very pleased with all of my adventures.
Sailing the Greek isles is a dream come true.
The captain and boat were above expectations
Freedom of itinerary made everyday a new experience
Keep up the excellent work!

Pseudo (only sailed a bit because the main mast was broken) sailing the Aegian islands was a wonderful way to visit the area and meet new people. My overall experience other than a few things regarding cleanliness and upkeep of the vessel (sails, stains, smells) was excellent and I am left with many wonderful memories.

This 10-day Greece tour balances some of Greece's most impressive and fascinating ancient sites around Athens, Olympia and Delphi with the spectacular monasteries at Meteora and one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful and interesting islands, Santorini.
We start with a tour of Athens itself, taking in the ancient sites of the Acropolis and some of modern Athens below as well. Next we head west towards Mycenea with several stops and some scenic coastal scenery along the way. Our guide will provide explanations about Greek history and mythology, relating them to the places you're visiting. Its an amazing feeling seeing the actual places where heroes and heroines from mythology played out their stories. Our next stop is the lovely Mediterranean village of Nafplion which nestles at the foot of a cliff overlooked by the ramparts of the Palamidi Fortress. Next we head to Olympia, birthplace of the Olympics and more ancient sites, before we tour the temples and ruins at Delphi on the way. Our final major stop in mainland Greece is then to see the amazing cliiftop monasteries and breathtaking scenery of Meteora, before we head back to Athens.
We take to the ferry next and sail into the Aegean Sea to the volcanic island of Santorini. The island was created in its present form by a huge volcanic eruption over 3,500 years ago that created a large crater which is now filled by the sea forming a huge bay surrounded by steep cliffs and coloured lava pebble beaches. The island is full of small villages with narrow winding alleys and whitewashed buildings that are fascinating to hike through. There are also hot springs, wineries and the remaining active volcano itself to discover. We have a couple of days here to relax and explore the island before returning to Athens to finish our tour.
This is a group tour that runs throughout the year, staying in comfortable hotels at around the 4-star level. We can also arrange the tour privately if you would prefer not to join a group.
