    Thank you for sharing your experience here with us. It's concerning to read that you may not have felt well-looked after by your Trip Manager, especially as we know what a big difference this makes to the overall experience. Please be assured that we have shared this review with their manager so that they are aware, and for their consideration going forward. That said, we hope you still had a memorable time travelling through Greece, and that you were able to make some wonderful new friendships along the way.
