McClure tour of Athens and the Greek Islands
Greece
|
Sep 24 - Oct 3, 2024
We were very impressed with all of the tour guides on our trip. We had tour guides in Athens at the Acropolis, in Chania (on Crete) for a food tour (Maria), one while hiking the Imbros Gorge (Nikos), another at the Knossos Palace (Carin), and another for a half day trip around Paros (Nicole). All were very knowledgeable and added a lot to our understanding about Greek culture. They were really delightful to spend time with. We also appreciated their professionalism . They all seemed to be very interested in giving us a better understanding of Greece.
We were also very impressed with the transportation on our trip. All of the drivers were there on time and transported us to our next destination in comfort.
Hotel Reviews
The room was very comfortable. The location was very central which made for a fun stay.
It was an adequate facility with a good location and breakfast. Staff was helpful and friendly. We were hoping for a more unique hotel for our first few nights in Greece, however.
This is a very unique property with a good design theme. It felt like an oasis at the end of our three week trip. The grounds were well landscaped and the pools were very inviting.
Activity Reviews
Our tour guide (I wish I could remember her name) was extremely knowledgeable and a very delightful person to spend time with. She held an advanced degree in Greek history which gave her good credentials to conduct the tour.
Nikos was a very courteous and helpful guide. It was fun to spend time with him and the hike through the gorge was very memorable.
Nicole was a great guide. Once again, she was a fun person to spend time with and she was a wealth of knowledge. The insights she gave about the history of Paros (and Greek mythology in general) were really fascinating.
Carin was an excellent tour guide. She was lot’s of funk and very knowledgeable
