Overall, I had a good experience. I got to experience activities and visit places in Greece that I never would have if I tried to complete the itinerary myself. It is a bit overpriced, especially if you are travelling solo due to accommodation costs budgeted for two in initial advertised price. There were some troubles (delays) with the day-tour guides/external tourism services, but the travel agent I was assigned made everything work in the end. Thank you, Apostolos!Show more

Most of the trip was wonderful. There were only a couple of glitches. The first one was that during the welcome meeting on the 1st night, the guests that wanted to go to the salt mine already had tickets except the 4 of us. We were told that we couldn't get them until we got to Poland and told the tour guide. Thank goodness he was able to get us tickets even though he said there was a slight chance that he wouldn't be able to get them. The welcome meeting was to have champagne or something but we bought our own drinks which wasn't that big of a deal. I just wouldn't put complimentary drinks on the itinerary anymore. The other thing that went wrong was that our itinerary said we would have a free shuttle back to the airport from Gdansk at noon. We waited and nothing came so we called the guide and she said there was a communication problem so we called an Uber to get us to the hotel. I think we should be reimbursed for this charge.Show more
