David Solanes is one of the best tour guides we have ever had and we have taken at least 25 tours. He was very professional, funny, attentive, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. Paco out of Tokyo was also great - he went above and beyond to accommodate our request to upgrade to first class on bullet train and made sure we are all ok during the train rides. The only thing that was tough was the monastery stay. Info from travel agent indicated it was an option but was not. It would have been better if there was a hotel option for the convenience of people who canât rough it.

Tour was wonderful. Enjoyed the evening of local folk dancing, pastry making and demo of clay making. The museums were excellent. I also enjoyed the sail boat ride to several Greek Islands. The only negative was the hotel in Naxos. Moldy bathroom and too far from town. Tour manager was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of showing us all aspect of Greece.
The itinerary was very rich & well packed with interesting & scenic spots & activities.
English guide Ricardo could have done better in communicating tour logistics & site background info, especially when Portuguese or Spanish was also presented.
I loved the tour in general. Beautiful cities. I think that in a few of the cities that we visited the free time was too short and in other places where we were not too much to do, they gave us more time.
