Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled.
(Even when we got lost)
The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative.
Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities.
Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.

The places we went are intrinsic to the understanding of Greece and its people. Our trip was made all the better for having such a knowledgable and friendly guide. We know we wouldn't have had such an amazing experience if we'd tried to do it all ourselves.
