Europamundo provided me and family an excellent experience in Greece. IT was everything and more we were looking for. Tour started and ended on time everyday with stops in between for refreshments and breaks. Drivers were exceptional in driving around the very mountainous region. Tour guides were knowledgeable. Want to call out Nicolas for his exceptional knowledge and grasp of multiple languages. We had a great trip, learned a lot about ancient Greek and came back home with lot of memories and new appreciation for ancient Greece.Show more
