Gift yourself the extra comfort and assurance!!

Greece | Aug 10 - Aug 19, 2026

I cannot express the amount of ease and comfort we had with our trip to Crete. Effie listened to everything I requested and stayed in my budget. The hotels she chose were absolute perfection. A big shout out to the team over at SanSal in Chania, what a great place to stay! Every driver we had provided so much additional knowledge to our journey. Bill made the drive to Elafonisi beach an absolute highlight of our trip - so much care and comfort went into making sure we had a good time and the conversation along the way was a once in a lifetime, that is probably the most standout day among many stand out days. Kimkim rolled with some last minute schedule additions, some forgotten items at a hotel earlier in our trip, and they literally had our needs addressed before we even realized what we were going to need. We are at the stage in our lives that organizing a trip like this independently would add more tension and more stress during our vacation, having to navigate the tiny ancient streets and windy mountain and costal roads would have made the trip a point of contention and stress for us. Knowing that we had assistance when we needed it and safe and thoughtful tour groups and drivers was such a gift.
