The Highlights of Greece with Island Explorer itinerary was excellent and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. Over the course of 12 days, I felt that we truly experienced the highlights of both mainland Greece and the islands. The itinerary was comprehensive, well paced, and provided a great balance of history, culture, sightseeing, and free time. From Athens and Delphi to Meteora, Santorini, and Mykonos, I felt that we were able to see and experience the places that make Greece such a special destination. The coach was comfortable, clean, air conditioned, and exactly as described. I especially appreciated the charging ports available for mobile devices, which made long travel days much more convenient. Overall, I was very pleased with the hotels selected by Costsaver. I found them to be clean, safe, well located, and staffed by friendly employees. The breakfast offerings were consistently good and provided a great start to each day. The hotels in Athens and Itea were particularly enjoyable, and the hotel in Mykonos was outstanding. The Mykonos property offered beautiful views, an excellent room, a comfortable bed, great laundry service, and one of the best overall hotel experiences of the trip. My only constructive feedback relates to room accommodations and bathrooms at some properties. In Santorini, the shower was extremely small and difficult to use comfortably. Additionally, although we requested a double bed, the room consisted of two twin beds pushed together rather than a true double bed with a single mattress. While I understand this is common in Europe, I would encourage Costsaver to work with its hotel partners whenever possible to provide true double beds for couples who request them. I would also suggest ensuring that shower designs adequately contain water so that bathroom floors do not become wet during normal use. These were relatively minor issues in what was otherwise an excellent travel experience. Overall, I was very satisfied with the itinerary, transportation, accommodations, and value provided by Costsaver, and I would gladly travel with them again.
We had an amazing time with Costsaver. All of our hotels were fabulous, the itinerary was perfect. It was truly the trip of a lifetime!
