This trip was amazing! Athina our guide really made this trip so special and took such extra care with recommendations and was just such a sweet soul! Thank you Athina for making my first Greece experience so magical! I can’t wait to return back!

Our tour guide Kostas deserves to be highlighted in this review. He was meticulous with our trip details and beyond accommodating with the wellbeing of each and every person on tour. He catered to each demographic, ranging from 21 to 78 yrs old. Families, couples and singles, you name it, he had it covered. He is kind hearted, diligent and created an environment of friendship. Our group chat is still active and it’s been over a month since we were on tour. Kostas took us to explore locally owned restaurants, enabling us to experience Greece authentically. For those of us that value the perfect Instagram shot, Kostas took us to the best hidden gems (with no wait queues). On our “free days” he recommended sights and made sure he was available if we got lost and needed assistance. Kostas was extremely informative of Greek culture, cuisine and made this trip so enriching. My family and I can’t thank you enough.
Knowledgeable guide, great optionals, incredible hotel stays. Keep hydrated!
