Had fun throughout! Enjoyed nice views
This was our first trip to Greece/Italy with our 16 year old history buff son and it didn’t disappoint! Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and personable throughout the entire experience. Our son was excited and didn’t feel left out of the experience- all locations were well planned and covered all that we desired and more. I especially appreciated the quality accommodations and clear systems for an optimal vacation experience. I’m telling family members and friends that this is definitely the way to go. We are already considering our next trip as well. Thank you for giving our family one of the best memory making experiences ever. Also, accommodating our family being together without any hiccups or issues was greatly appreciated.
