We had several local guides on this trip, and all of them were great with one minor exception. They were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Their insight really gave much more meaning to the places we visited.
The olive oil tasting outside Kalamata was simple fantastic. Not only was the tasting interesting, the homecooked meal afterwards was the best of the trip.
The in-country assistance during the trip was very quick and extremely helpful.
Hotel Reviews
NLH is in an excellent location. Easy to walk around for dinner and attractions. Only minor issue was the noise at night from the street below.
Great location with inconsistent but adequate parking options. Suite #7 was nice, although the door was only about 5 feet high. Breakfast was outstanding.
Good location. Staff very helpful and reasonable price for our laundry. Not hard to walk into town.
Activity Reviews
Perfectly paced and hit all the right places. Our guide (Maria) was extremely enthusiastic and on top of things.
There are not enough stars to rate this activity. It was the best of our trip. The olive oil tasting was interesting and the guide was a professional who explained how she did her work. The tour of the facility was good. The meal after the tasting was the best of the trip. Incredible home cooked food!
The guide was very knowledgeable and really explained the site and its significance. Could not have been better.
Messene was an unexpected gem. It is a BIG site which really let you feel the extent and layout of the town.
Hitting the highlights of the Acropolis and Agora with a strong tie-in to mythology. Very interesting!
Delphi was interesting and worth visiting.
We definitely had interest in Archaeology and the site fit that bill well. Many folks might not like that it was just an excavation site, but that was part of its appeal to us. The guide helped explain what we were seeing.
Large scale!
This site is older so you have to use your imagination a bit more outside of the tombs. However it is well worth visiting.
Good lunch and interesting talk about local life
I nice walk along the coast.
plane delayed, didn't make it
A nice tour of the site and a winery. Really multi-course excellent meal.
Very much worth taking in!
