The Burdock Hotel in the Beyoglu neighborhood is truly incredible, with the one of the most comfortable beds we've slept (except of course, of our bed at home). With an onsite spa, delicious food available at the bar, their restaurant, or for room service, and a staff that consistently go above and beyond, it was a pleasure just being at this hotel. As for food, I highly recommend the chicken skewers, meatballs, San Sebastian cheesecake, and one of their pasta dishes with eggplant (I can't recall the name and their menu isn't listed online) delivered to your room. The bartenders and servers are prompt, accommodating, and friendly. Easily one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, without being the priciest.

Mr. and Mrs. White Santorini in Oia offers spectacular views right outside of our room and even included a relaxing pool to lounge by or jump in to start your day. The staff are exceptional, the included breakfast is delicious, and the drinks were amazing (I highly recommend the Mr. White's Garden - they're addictive!)

The rooftop restaurant has a fantastic view of the Acropolis with delicious food and drinks (the Greek orange pie was my favorite!). The breakfast buffet each morning was one of the best we've had in all our travels, and the staff are very helpful and accommodating.

We greatly enjoyed exploring the Beyoglu area, taking in the many sites, scenes, and overall vibes of the neighborhood. Our tour guide (Emrecan again) was exceptional and tailored the tour to our interests and needs wonderfully. The unique architecture and shifting cultures over the centuries make for a truly interesting and immersive experience, including a variety of locations, buildings, streets, and scenes. Seeing the panoramic views of the city from Galata Tower was possibly my favorite part, though it was a bit pricey (going up to the top wasn't originally part of the itinerary and our tour guide warned us it was a little expensive and mentioned some alternative views that were free, but considering our limited time, we opted to anyway - which she pivoted to easily, showing us numerous highlights and nuances we likely wouldn't have noticed without her).

The tour was filled with fantastic views from all over the island, interesting history about the many villages and Santorini as a whole, and included a wine tasting at a winery that has been on the island for generations. Our tour guide, Giannis, was funny and knowledgeable about all of the locations we visited and made an fantastic recommendation for dinner at an excellent restaurant (41) located on a black sand beach on the south of the island.

Our day trip to Delphi was filled with great views and interesting histories from our guide. The ruins themselves gave you a true sense of the old temple, and the museum is filled with beautiful artifacts, interesting history, and plenty of stories. The stop in Arachova was the best part, with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, amazing views, picturesque side streets, and shops with tasty treats.

Included a large variety of great food, with an excellent tour guide (Lev) who was engaging, knowledgeable, and able to get the entire group to interact and participate. Easily one of the best food tours we've ever done.

The tour of the Acropolis was a great time, though I would definitely take the recommendation to go early before the cruise ships overflow the place. The views are amazing and the history was fun to learn about. The Acropolis Museum was very nice, full of interesting artifacts and historical information, but having just been to the Acropolis, it felt a little less exciting and a tad redundant. If I had to do it again, I might pick another museum.

We had an incredible tour guide, Emrecan, who effortlessly tailored the trip to our needs, kept the conversation going (we were pretty exhausted the first day), and had wonderful recommendations for food. We enjoyed the Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and Grand Bazaar very much, and had a wonderful time sitting in the Sultanahmet Square, hearing of all the history that has transformed the area over the centuries.

The Diamond Caldera Sunset cruise was a blast, with a fun and interactive crew, who took us to a number of beautiful spots, allowing us to jump in at numerous locations. The included meal, which was cooked on the boat, was one of the best meals we had all trip.

Stratos was an excellent guide and we enjoyed all the various experiences. My only suggestion is that it did feel a little long, and I think the honey tasting could be removed. The olive oil tasting lunch wine, tasting, and visiting the villages was spectacular.

Panos was an excellent guide & we thoroughly enjoyed all the historical knowledge and scenic places we visited. The only drawback was the end of night meal. We were the only people in the restaurant which was awkward and our main meal was just pasta with chicken.

We had already done quite a bit in previous tours and realized we did not need this tour. Hercules was great, he just didn’t have a lot to share with us.

Spiros was an excellent captain, very generous with his time & knowledge. He was also very flexible & showed consistent concern for our comfort & safety

Guide was excellent, fun & very knowledgeable.

Very pretty hotel! Be prepared to carry your luggage up and down a steep hill.

This a beautiful hotel but not close to the city center. Requires transportation to and from the hotel.

This hotel was amazing!! Spectacular views overlooking the old harbor.

Good location and easy to explore Heraklion.

Great location which allowed us to explore Chania on foot and really see the city.

Great location. It was easy to navigate the city on foot.

This was one of my favorite experiences. Our guide was amazing and the food and wine tasting was really fun!!

We traveled from Naxos to Mykonos and our ferry was over half an hour late departing Naxos. We arrived on Mykonos late and missed our tour by 10 minutes. Our tour coordinator on Mykonos refused to drop a pin or give us directions on how to meet up with the group. She said it would be impossible for us to find them because of the windy alleys of Mykonos. Even when our desk clerk at the hotel offered to bring us she refused. To make matters worse she refused to refund our money and marked us down as no-shows. She did send a driver to take us to another area but hardly anything was open and there wasn't much to see. I didn't understand why if she was able to send a driver to take us to see another area why she wasn't able to allow us to join the group. Very disappointing!!!!

We had a private tour and our guide was fantastic! He was very knowledgable and we had a great discussion and learned a lot!!

I am a fan of day sailing trips. They are a great way to see the island from the water and experience the beautiful Aegean Sea!

Really fun day spent on the water! The crew was so friendly and we had a great group of people on board.

Very fun and the views were beautiful!

This was a great way to spend the day soaking up the island views!

This was a fun day spent driving the island of Crete and exploring seven picturesque villages.

Our guide picked us up at our hotel and shared a bit about the history of Athens on our walk up to the Acropolis. The tour was fantastic and she was very knowledgable! After the tour she gave us suggestions of what to do to explore the city.

Highly recommend. Wonderful staff, wonderful location, wonderful amenities and rooms. Definitely rent a car so you can travel the island and see the other sites, because the hotel is definitely worth staying at.

Excellent accomodations right where we needed to be!

Excellent hotel, fantastic breakfast and dining menu options, and friendly staff.

Great staff and unique accomodations in the heart of Monastiraki... Close to everywhere we needed to be.

This was a beautiful and emotional experience. I only wished we had more time there!

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. She managed to guide us to the top without exhaustion for those who were out of shape.

Close to the airport, beaches, marina and shops. Balcony rooms overlook pool and water. Restaurant is delicious. Staff is very friendly.

Within walking distance of the Marina, shops and restaurants.

Perfect place to be if you want to be where it is at in Athens. Loved the family loft suites.

This was truly an experience to remember. The guide was very informative. I could have spent more time there for sure.
