My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. Beautiful scenery and we learned a lot. Our tour leader Mat is amazing he did his very best to keep us going and busy specially during the second part of the tour, mykonos ans santorini always we have something to do everyday. He is an asset.
Like most Exodus guides, Thano was excellent. However he went beyond expectations, his local knowledge was extensive (he seemed to know everyone on the island). Always approachable. The packed lunches were varied (and filling). He ordered the starters at every meal which meant that we sampled lots of local delicacies that we would otherwise have missed. Lots of little things (sampling the ouzo, beekeeper visit and so on) added to the overall enjoyment. The guided tour of Athens on the final day was a bonus. On a personal note, he spoke to a doctor on my behalf as I was suffering from an injured shoulder.
Would highly recommend this tour to see the highlights of the Balkans. Lots of included tours and meals. A real variety of places and countries visited and generally centrally located hotels.
