Activities were great, well executed. Due to May 1 holiday in Greece they had to flip the days so we had more bus time but it still worked out. The guide was very intelligent with a PhD in archeology but he had the worst attitude. He would snap at people randomly both on the bus and at museums. That made us feel unwelcome. We’re with this person for 4 days and we don’t know anyone else in Greece so it would’ve been nice to be with someone more inviting. I took 1 star off for the guide, the rest was wonderful!

An amazing trip! Efi, our guide, was very knowledgeable about every stop and spot and we got to see so so much. The only downside is that the lunch stops, while nice, were at one specific spot picked out instead of free time to find a place in the towns, and that these stops were more tourist priced than most of Greece. Otherwise a truly amazing tour that goves you so much value, history, and appreciation of Greek history.

This was an outstanding tour, covering so many classical places in Greece. Starting in Athens..briefly stopping at the Corinth Canal, before proceeding to Epidaurus, Nafplio and Mycenae. Extensive tours of the archaeological sites of Olympia and Delphi, with ample time to appreciate both sites. The final day was spent in Meteora, where we toured two monasteries of the six that were built in the 13 and 14 century. There were many places that unfortunately we did not have time to stop at, but at least we did get to see them and hear about them.
