Greece Local culture Trips

A really Good Tour Leader, Dora was extremely Organised, Thoughtful and Helpful, very Professional too. The Driver was excellent. Lots of destinations covered, from unique cities to peaceful Lakes in Croatia. The tour was well organised. The hotels were good to very good, the rooms always spacious. The meals were always in lovely characterful restaurants, which I loved, and food was generally good to very good.

Well balanced, just so interesting!!! Tour director Lisa was passionate and shared so much with us. Driver Alexis was helpful and calm, the local experts were excellent. So much history in such a beautiful country!

The mainland component of this tour was great, but the ferries out to the islands were pretty challenging with so many people and never ending chaos embarking and disembarking the ferries. However, once on the islands (Santorini and Mykonos) it was indeed a magical experience.

The local guides make the archeological sites come alive. It is easy to see why the monasteries are a UNESCO site. The stop at the family owned olive grove was wonderful in atmosphere, in learning about and tasting olive oil. It was a fabulous lunch and a relaxing atmosphere. The music and dancing were a highlight. The stops for the seaside lunch and in the seaside town were delightful. Insight would be better off letting people find dinner on their own than attending the first 2 hotel dinners that were poor at best. The Greek food is spectacular so to be "provided" such poor meals was a real downfall and not up to Insights normal standards.

Chose that tour so I could experience the mainland of Greece as well as the islands. Probably would have preferred 2 nights on each island instead of 3 with Crete included. The mainland was beautiful with so much history and excellent local guides. The weather was perfect in May. Would definitely recommend the tour!

I loved this trip in it's entirety. We had a really great group of travellers, and the "A" team with Peter and Elton. Peter made sure the seats were switched on the bus every day so everyone got the good seats at some point. He also switched the room mates regularly so we all had a chance at a room of our own and got to know each other better. We really liked that. Of the Optionals that we took part in starting with the Acropolis tour…fantastic! Great info, great guide perfect timing. We didn't do the Athens food tour as we were already getting an included dinner so thought it was an expense we could spend elsewhere. Really enjoyed the Greek evening in Meteora, again fantastic, and so much info from a very passionate guide who came along even though she had just lost her Grandmother that day. Fun evening for all. We didn't do the blue cave tour as the weather meant we were unlikely to see the cave and we weren't interested in the swimming stops. We did, however, get together with sev
