While we did make a wonderful choice of picking Greece as a destination, the tour included an outstanding CEO, best sites to visit, more than adequate accommodations and travel arrangements.

Our trip was very well organized and offered a variety of activities. I felt that we got to see a good part of what represents Greece. Our tour guide Stylios was exceptional and really made our trip outstanding.

The numerous places visited and the advice of our guide (Stelios) on things to see and do according to our individual interests.
10/15/2023
The Stelios',s knowledge and enthusiasm for his homeland made my Greece Adventure very enjoyable and memorable. Seeing, hearing and experiencing the history of Greece first hand was amazing. The mix of organised tours, the local cooking experience, local guides and self exploration was well balanced.
