'First time on a tour and it was fabulous. We knew where we were going and when and everything ran so smoothly. Our tour manager Louise and bus driver Oddesyo ensured there were no hiccups fulfilling their roles perfectly with a smile. The local guides were so knowledgeable bringing the historical sites to life. As for Greece itself and the food, I will never be disappointed in the country and its friendly welcoming people.' - Ali, Oct 2024
