    Fantastic

    Excellent tour! We had a lot of fun. Vicki our leader was awesome. Dimitri our driver had nerves of steel. Lots of history, excellent food, the nicest people and lots of street cats. What amazed me was how with all the cats, I never saw any feces or smelled any urine. The cities streets were so clean. I fell in love with Greece and would definitely return.

The tour was comprehensive and well organised. Our tour leader Vivien and driver Tsasos were both amazing. A couple of days were maybe too full and therefore a bit long.

We had a great time exploring Greece! Matt and Tsasos were excellent! They got us around Greece safely and in a timely manner while Matt really added to the fun! This was our 4th expat tour and certainly one of our favorites. We will be looking out for other tours with Matt in the future!

This was our 2nd Expat tour and it lived up to everything we thought it would be. Comfortable rooms decent breakfast and our tour guide Mat was great. My only complaint would be the food. I would take less food for a better quality. Example. 1/2 the stops we got a lettuce/ cabbage mix with no flavor. I'd rather have a Greek salad at take away one of the other courses

There are some small recommendations I made while filling out the evaluation on the tour. They are small compared to the value and the experiences on this tour.

The tour was so good, it combined sightseeing all the best parts of Greece and local Greek experiences. We saw Delphi and Olympia with the best local guides, and we saw Meteora at sunset, and then the monasteries the next morning. The optional excursions were really reasonably priced and I recommend all of them, especially the Greek Evening, where we went to a local Greek farm and learnt all about olive oil (always but extra vurgin olive oil) and tried wine and had a beautiful meal followed by dancing. The first 3 days are really relaxed, day 4, 5 and6 are busier, so be prepared for that, but everyday is so good. I love Expat! #Yammas

In general, I enjoyed the tour and it was good value for money but we were unfortunate to have put in room 107 at Hotel Candia as the room was not great! Air conditioning wasn't working, no kettle meaning no tea/coffee facility! Big disappointment with no earphone for our guided tours so missing information especially in the echoey museum such as Olympia! We would rather pay more to have earphone than not hearing the guide!

I found the tour cool, the guide is great & kind. The timing is not that stressful compare to other trips that I had before. Hotels are good, to sum it up I'm totally impressed with the places we visited, the food, accommodation, bus & driver & everything!
