There were only two of us on this family run tour and it was customised for our dates, which we appreciated. The scenery was beautiful and the history here is mind boggling. We especially loved the daily lunches that had been hand-picked to represent the best of Greek cuisine. Every day the food was fabulous (and plentiful) - and we often did not need to eat an evening meal. We also enjoyed a wine tasting in the Peleponnese and an olive oil tasting at Delphi. All the hotels selected were very comfortable. Our guide, Argeris was great. He was friendly, helpful (when I lost my camera) and knowledgable about the places we visited. A late amendment to our tour included a three day visit to the island of Aegena, where we had a cooking class with the matriarch of the family, Argena. This was the final sector of an extended vacation, but proved to the highlight of the entire trip. Highly recommended.Show more
