This trip was wonderful. It was a long ride to the coast, but it was worth it. Many thanks to the tour company for advising us to take the 5 pm trip as the sunset views were amazing.

Our driver was very kind and helpful. He encouraged us to take our time at the stops. We loved the stop at the lake! Driving along the coast was absolutely beautiful, especially after being in downtown Athens for a couple days. The Mercedes van was so nice and plush. We planned this tour last minute and was so glad to be able to see the sights from the air conditioned van 😊.
