Unforgettable trip - This trip to Greece left me in awe. The amazing scenery and the kind tour guides really made this experience unforgettable. But, the highlight of the trip was definitely seeing the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. I will definitely be coming back.

Elevated experience with knowledgeable people. - After this trip we want to be in Greece every summer. Once you see the light you want to find your self there all the time. George and Dimitris did an excellent job not only taking us to all those beautiful coastal places but elevated the experience with their knowledge about their birth land. Amazing tour.
