Mykonos was amazing and my favorite! The hotel was up the street from Mykonos town and right next to a bus stop making it easy to get around to all the best places. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond. Paros was okay. The hotel location was okay and the staff was okay, but nothing like what I experienced in Mykonos. The culture was cool there. Santorini was amazing. The travel agency did mess up my booking for the hotel. They sent me one hotel in my itinerary and then booked me at a different hotel, but when I got to the hotel that I thought I was supposed to be at, they called the agency and worked out the details and made it to where I could stay there. Transfers were all great and on time, although the letter said they would call and let hotel staff know day before. That never happened. I always found out morning of which was fine but im a planner and like to know details sooner than that.Show more

Wow, what an excellent four-day tour of Olympia, Delphi and Meteora. Our guide was knowledgeable in both the history of all the ruins and also provided mythical stories. She accompanied us around the museums and provided details of what we were looking at which was much appreciated. We were informed in advance when we would be stopping for breaks which is good since you are on the coach for long periods. The one drawback was for four days our guide was switching languages when sharing any information every couple of sentences (English/French) which got very confusing especially since there is so much information being shared. I personally would check in future to make sure a trip I was booking was in English only, I found I was tuning out after a while which was sad since Greece is so rich in history. Our bus driver Costa was magnificent as he drove some hair-raising twists and turns with such ease. Having read previous reviews, I did upgrade my hotels which I am glad I did, although the hotel in Delphi was disappointing, I had twin beds. One the bedsprings squeaked and the other the mattress was awful. The other two hotels were great and the food was good. Sitting outside having dinner at our first hotel watching the sunset was a wonderful ending to a busy day. My #1 bucket list trip to Meteora was not disappointing.Show more
