Eleni was wonderfully responsive and flexible with our situation. We did not get one of the passports until the day of the trip. The hotels that were booked for us were very nice and were well situated for what we had planned. We had some unexpected delays due to the number of people visiting Greece and the islands were farther apart than we thought. The car in Naxos was nice, but too big to drive around the streets there. The car in Santorini was a small Nissan and was much easier to maneuver.
The night in Athens was amazing and we met our tour guide, Alex at our hotel and walked to the Acropolis for a great private tour.
The local travel agency, Travel12 was very helpful to us when we had to cancel one of the events. Thank you to Nikos and Marianna and the rest of the team. I was happy that all the arrangements were made to accommodate me and my family. It was an unforgettable trip

Alex was a wonderful guide! I was impressed by his passion and knowledge during the tour. It was hot and we stopped in the shade, which was very helpful. I am so happy we took this tour. Learning about the history of the Parthenon and the theaters was was great.

Boat Trip to Mykonos & Delos

Naxos

It was very hot that day and we enjoyed looking at the ruins and exploring the island by ourselves without a guide. The boat taking us there was older and had Greek charm. Mykonos was very crowded and hot.

Quality of Experience
It was fun for awhile but way to long and exhausting!
