Hello Vladimir!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm absolutely delighted to hear that every part of your trip—from the guides and drivers to the hotel and experiences—came together to create such a memorable journey. It’s especially wonderful to know that Mateo, Danielle, and your food tour guide helped bring Italy to life in such a personal and engaging way.

It was a pleasure organizing this trip for you, and I’d be thrilled to help you plan another adventure if you ever decide to return and explore more of Italy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently returned from an incredible family vacation to Italy, and I cannot recommend our travel consultant, Chris highly enough! As a single mom traveling with six kids, I often navigate the challenges of travel alone, but this experience was pretty easy, thanks to Chris and his counterpart, Maria.

What truly sets them apart is their 24/7 availability while we were in Italy. Having an emergency contact to turn to whenever we had questions or encountered a hiccup made a world of difference. It allowed me to relax and focus on making memories with my children instead of stressing about logistics.

The itinerary was nothing short of fantastic! In just eight days, we explored all the highlights we dreamed of, from the historical wonders of Rome to the captivating art in Florence, the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the enchanting canals of Venice. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and we saw everything we wanted without feeling rushed.

If you're considering a trip to Italy, do yourself a favor and reach out to Chris. With their expertise and unwavering support, your travel experience will be seamless and unforgettable!

I cannot recommend this travel agency enough! From the moment we arrived in Greece, every detail was perfectly arranged, making our trip truly unforgettable. The service was exceptional, and the guides and drivers were simply amazing.

Our Acropolis guide, Apollon, brought the history of the ancient site to life in such a captivating way. He had so much knowledge and passion that it was impossible not to get caught up in the wonder of the experience. When we traveled to Delphi, Yannis, our private driver, made the two-hour journey both enjoyable and comfortable. His friendly demeanor and expertise made the drive feel like part of the adventure. Once we arrived in Delphi, Giorgos, our private guide, expertly navigated us through the larger groups, ensuring we could get up close to the remarkable sculptures in the museum. His guidance helped us truly appreciate the history and beauty of the site.

In Naxos, we had the privilege of having Katia as our private guide, and Niko as our driver. They made the experience unforgettable. Katia was incredibly knowledgeable, and Niko’s smooth driving allowed her to focus entirely on us, guiding us through the island’s rich history and breathtaking sites.

One of the highlights of my trip was a last-minute request I made to Elen, asking for a drive through the mountains to visit the marble quarries. As an architect, this was one of the most memorable experiences of the trip. Elen arranged everything seamlessly, and Spiro, my driver, took me on a scenic route that added another layer of magic to my journey.

Throughout the entire trip, the agency made everything feel easy and effortless, all while staying within a reasonable budget and providing us with wonderful accommodations. The entire experience felt like first-class treatment but without the hefty price tag. If you’re planning a trip to Greece, I highly recommend booking with this agency—you’ll be in great hands!

I understand it is difficult to separate mythology from history and architecture but the majority of our tours dealt with history and architecture, even religion and geology. It was mostly our first day in Athens that covered mythology. I believe this was just a cookie cutter tour taken off the shelf that focused on Greece's main attractions, there was no customization.
The accommodations were excellent, everything was timed very well but for the very expensive price paid I would have hoped to get what I asked for, a mythology based tour and I did not.

However, we always strive to incorporate Greek mythology into our experiences to create a rich and immersive journey. While our tours focus on a balance of history, mythology, and culture, I completely understand that you were hoping for a more mythology-centered approach. At archaeological sites across mainland Greece, there are only a limited number of licensed guides available. We carefully selected those with the strongest knowledge of mythology to enhance the storytelling aspect of your tours.
Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will take it into consideration as we continue refining our itineraries. We truly appreciate the opportunity to have been part of your journey and hope you take many wonderful memories from your time in Greece.

We couldn’t have asked for a more special honeymoon… from the views in Santorini to the beautiful cruise along the caldera to its spectacular sunsets to the cooking and wine tasting experiences. Five days in Santorini was definitely a great recommendation as it allowed us to get to know the entire island personally. We were also very happy and comfortable with the transportation and living accommodations arranged by KimKim all throughout our stay.
