Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our 12-day trip to Greece was one of the top trips we have taken over the years. We visited five locations, from Crete to Hydra to Athens, Delphi, and Kalabaka, and each met our hopes. From meeting local Greeks in rural areas and learning about their traditions to visiting UNESCO sites and learning the history of Greece, the tours met our expectations.

From the beginning, our tour planner was patient and listened to our ideas closely. She was quick to respond and always willing to make changes as the trip plan evolved. Any time we needed information or clarification, she was there to help.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

On Crete, we toured the small village, sampled local dishes, and learned about their history. Later, we shared a cooking class and meal. Both were perfect ways to begin the trip

The guided visit to the Acropolis was a highlight of the first day in Athens. Our gifted guide shared stories and her perspective in a unique way, given her background in archeology.

Our day trip to Hydra was an ideal experience and allowed a view of simple island life, with no motorized vehicles. Sharing the steps and paths with horses and mules brought a smile to our faces

The tour of Delphi was revealing and fascinating. In addition to having exhilarating views, we had time to walk the village and talk with local residents in an intimate way.

The tour of the monasteries of Meteora was mystical, on a day when the clouds hung over the tops of the mountains and made the trip more spiritual. Our guide was excellent and patient.

What more can I say? Every day was memorable and enjoyable.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We would check on whether the hotel has an elevator (one did not. It had nice rooms and staff, but steep, long stairs).

We would ask for hotels with a one-day laundry service for the times we stayed more than a night.

We would not have booked the Historic Tour on the same day as the Acropolis Tour. We were tired by then and had seen some of the historic venues on the way to the Acropolis.
