  A great Greece itinerary, with amazing organization and support throughout We had a wonderful trip to Greece, with an excellent itinerary of 2 nights in Athens, 2 nights on Santorini, and 4 nights on Crete. They had us on flights rather than ferries, which gave us some amazing views from the air. We opted to add an additional night in Athens at the end after the tour, and it was so incredibly helpful that Wonderful Holidays makes it easy to adjust and customize things as needed, without making the added elements exorbitantly expensive. We had a terrific team of people who were incredibly patient with MANY questions I asked along the way, as we made our decisions about whether to add the offered "enhancements" (eg. day tours, private transfers, etc). They responded quickly and helpfully every time! And the drivers and guides that Wonderful Holidays works with were also super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, etc. We had such wonderful guides for the Acropolis morning and for our tour of Knossos. I had read a previous review noting that the hotel on Crete is at a distance from Heraklion, and I did let the team know that I think for travelers in the early or late edges of the season, it would be much better to stay in Heraklion. Even the way they received that feedback was friendly and professional, and I appreciated the chance to share what it was like 'on the ground' in some of the locations, because I think there may be some variability with when things open for the season, depending on whether March is warm or cold. Just overall a consistent, timely, and friendly approach to providing the necessary information on a daily basis, for the next day, and responding to any and all questions. This included having to completely adjust our arrival details due to flight rebooking. Thank you, Barbara, Wendy, Lilly, Hannah, Ronnie, and Sam!Show more

  Just got back from Greece, we had an amazing time. Wonderful Holidays did a wonderful job keeping us informed of all our transfers, check-ins via WhatsApp. Couldn’t be more pleased with this company, you can tell they really care. They picked good hotels and flights. This was a self tour but they continued to communicate thru the tour making sure we enjoyed our transfers, the hotels, the flights, etc.Show more

  Everything was wonderful except for the location of the last destination (Crete); the location of the hotel was car dependent and away from all the attractions. Although, the quality & service of the hotels were outstanding and food amazing. The excursions too, were fabulous.Show more

  Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the quality, service, and food at the hotels, as well as the excursions. We’ve taken note of your comment regarding the location in Crete. We understand that preferences for hotel locations can vary from traveler to traveler, and we always aim to strike the right balance between convenience and maintaining the high standards of comfort and service our guests expect. anything that's very accessible in Crete generally close to the Port or public transport which is generally used by the local crowds where service also tends to be variable. We try and keep our guests away from the crowds, traffic and more in areas with great views and exceptional service aimed at foreign guests. Your feedback has been helpful, and we’ve updated our property options in Crete accordingly to offer a better experience. We truly appreciate your insights and look forward to planning another memorable journey for you in the future. Best regards, Penny

  We had a wonderful time, the hotels were nice, with the Ibis Styles being so convenient to walk to the Acropolis and Plaka. We loved the hot tub in our room at Above Blue on Santorini and the catamaran boat ride was so pleasant. We loved Crete most of all. It was a nice 2.5 hour drive to Chania where we enjoyed a day of shopping. The down side was there was a lot of time spent in airports and the 7 hour ferry ride. Every thing was very well coordinated and everything went as planned and on time.Show more

  I wouldn't hesitate a minute to book with TourRadar. Everything was pre arranged and ran with precision.

  Transfers were smooth, and the hotel was in an excellent location. We had dinner at the hotel last night—very nice, on the seaside side of the street, and 10% off if you're staying at the hotel. Just a short note to thank you and your team for the great organisation of our Crete-Santorini tour. As independent travellers getting on in age, the organisation allowed us to stay independent while relieving us of the stress and anxiety that often accompany independent travel. We thoroughly enjoyed each stay. We particularly loved the Ibis Styles in Athens—a clean, fresh, modern hotel. I initially thought it was too far out, but once we mastered the Metro, it was fine and even enabled us to find a couple of lovely family restaurants in the neighbourhood. The transfers were always on time. Thanks once again.Show more

  Enjoyed a beautiful vacation in Greece. Shell of a tour with not much included as stated. Ran into a few snafu's that were quickly and efficiently resolved by the tour company with care and consideration as well as cost refunds and room upgrade. Thanks Barb. This tour would benefit greatly from a couple of added excursions. Also of note, Galaxy Villa's in Crete should be avoided.Show more
