Christmas & New Year Tours in Greece, Italy and Turkey

What a fabulous tour! We had 11 friendly people on our small group tour and a brand new air conditioned bus (our driver excitedly told us!). Our wonderful tour leader, Seckin, and our friendly driver made the tour even more enjoyable. We were picked up at Istanbul airport, even though we flew in a day earlier, and were driven to Izmir Airport and assisted with our bag drop off when we flew to Athens. When we landed in Athens, we were picked up again and escorted to our hotel. 5 star service. The Turkey leg of our tour was wonderful. Make sure you do the balloon ride in Cappadocia. It is a highlight and magical. The days can be a little long and tiring, but worth it. The hotels were all good quality and comfortable and the food buffets were good. The only negative thing we can say is that the last 2 days in Athens were not a "small group tour" as advertised, which was disappointing. We were driven around from hotel to hotel, loaded on and off 2 big coaches and were part of a large group tour, which mainly did the Acropolis museum and the Acropolis. There were a few people that were disappointed and left the tour before the end. We lost our tour guide on several occasions due to the crowds. The last day on the 3 island cruise was again very busy and crowded (although you are alerted to this in the tour information). We took advantage of upgrading to the VIP room and it was worth every cent to get away from the crowds. There were only 8 of us in the section and the day before I believe there were 32.

Excellent organization and services throughout the tour. Those guys know what they're doing!!

Without a doubt this was the best vacation I have ever taken in my life. Thank you guides Irfan and Mattheo and all of your drivers(Sorry I don't remember their names but they are all ok) . All of your guides were very knowledgeable, selected hotels were in the city center and comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves.
