This was a great tour with go tours. We saw heaps of ancient sites. Maria our guide was a wealth of information…thanks Maria. Costa was the best bus driver. The down side was when we left the main tour after and joined a one day tour on its way back to athes…the bus was unbearably hot at 51 degrees.. by the time we got to athens it had cooled to 37 I would recommend this tour accommodation excellent.

Our tour guide George was excellent and hilarious. We had so much fun with him and the group. George was super knowledgeable about the history and the flora and fauna. A very professional guide who was able to get the group to gel. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Greece. Thanks for a great time!

The tour was well organized, especially since a last minute change had to be made due to the Covid-19 situation. The only issue I had with this change is that when Olympia was removed from the tour, it was replaced by more time in Nauplion, which I think was a poor substitute. I wish we could have gone to another archaeological site instead of a tourist town to do shopping for souvenirs. Perhaps we could have traveled to the site of ancient Sparta since we were already visiting Mycenae just to the north. I know the Covid-19 situation was no one’s fault and the tour operator did the best they could on short notice, but it would have been better to replace one archaeological site with another, in my opinion. There was an oddity for our second night on the tour at the hotel in Delphi, some of the visitors were charged the room tax, but not everyone. And this was further made confusing because no one paid the hotel tax for our first night which was in Mycenae. I cannot understand why no one was charged the tax for the first night, and only some for the second night, and especially since it was my understanding that all fees and taxes were paid for when I booked the tour. I think this tour should be set up so that all the hotel taxes are included in the initial tour cost as it makes it less confusing.

The tour guide was very good. She provided a lot of information; was enthusiastic, always smiley,
understandable and fun. The hotels were reasonable; some food choices could be better. Overall it was
a great experience.
