About this trip

We went on the Kos panoramic tour on Saturday and the Nisyros Island tour on Sunday. Both were fantastic--our guides were extremely knowledgeable and engaging.

CMDE Day Trips

Amazing trip. Wonderful people. Guide was absolutely excellent- beautiful and deep Biblical knowledge, able to tie Greek history, 1st century biblical history and the Bible together. Loved it and highly would recommend to all!! 

2024 CMDE Pre-Conference Tour

Well-organized, kind and knowledgeable tour guides. Would be great if they included more Biblical/Christian information, at least in equal part to the Greek mythology that we were taught about. 

Good value; very informative; good mix of sites and stops; great bus driver and tour guide; the other participants added significantly to making it a great experience. 

This trip was worth every penny and much more! Our guide, Costas, was amazing and taught us so much about the history and cultural context of Paul’s time in Greece. Accommodations were great, bus was good, and travel was delightful. Thank you!

This was a wonderful biblical tour of Greece, Costas was a wonderful guide.  His depth of understanding of both Biblical and Ancient Greek history was shared in enriching and thought provoking ways throughout the tour.  Lodging, food and transportation were great as well.  Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time. Costas Tsevas is an amazing tour guide. He made the trip.  The hotels were very nice.  The food was good but sometimes lukewarm.  The bus and driver were great (very safe and skilled driver). The weather in late March couldn’t have been better.  The cabin on the cruise was surprisingly comfortable and we booked the next to lowest price room on the fourth floor. The food on the ship was also often lukewarm. The dining room where you ordered a meal was better than the buffet food. The only disappointment of the tour is that we didn’t go to Crete as had been promoted. As leaders of our group, we didn’t have an adequate answer for the last minute change.  All in all, Greek Bible Tours did an excellent job.  We would definitely use them again and recommend them to friends.

2024 Woodland Park Baptist Church

A wonderful tour with pleasant tour participants. Well organized and planned. It was educational, especially with the explanations and guidance of Costas Tsevas as our tour guide. I enjoyed the cruise on the Celestyal Discovery. The room was nice, the taste and variety of food good, and the excursions enjoyable and informative. The islands of Mykonos, Patmos and Santorini were gorgeous and beyond comparison. 

Our Greece tour was a very memorable experience. Our tour guide, Costas, was outstanding! His knowledge and passion for Greece, the scripture was the highlight of the trip for us. We appreciated the variety of historical sites we visited. All accommodations and food were top notch. We enjoyed visiting our ministry partners at CVC and loved their warm welcome and authentic Greek dinner! We initially questioned the 12 hour flight to Istanbul but now realize it was a good choice with limited layovers. The bus transportation in Greece was very good. We also enjoyed the cruise portion of the trip. The cabin, service and food on the cruise was also very good. We appreciated the many ports of call on the schedule. The tour guide in Patmos appeared to be somewhat inexperienced and nervous. She frequently apologized or made excuses for not knowing more about the city and its significance in history. I think with more experience and study she will be fine. The suspension on the bus from Richland to Seattle airport and back was very stiff resulting in an unusually uncomfortable and bumpy ride. Special thanks to Dave for all his efforts in making this trip not only possible but memorable in so many ways!

Rhonda, We are so thankful that you were blessed by the trip! GBT

What an amazing trip! Our guide, Costas, was above and beyond. He did a beautiful job incorporating scripture from the Bible into every place we visited. The accommodations were perfect and far above what we expected. The food was great, the countryside was absolutely beautiful, and the people were so warm and welcoming. The 3 day cruise at the end was awesome. I honestly can’t say enough nice things about this trip! Go to Greece. Take this trip. You will be so happy and blessed if you do.

Marcene, So glad that everything worked out for this trip... GBT


Was a wonderful trip!  Visited very interesting places and with Costos as our guide, we learned so much and will continue to learn because of it.  The cruise add an additional benefit as I had never been on a cruise before.  So thankful for your planning and accommodations for all of us.  Trip of a lifetime.

Tom, It has been fantastic working together. Thanks for gathering the group from WA! Sincerely, David

This was an EXCELLENT tour.  The accommodations were first class.  Everyone remarked at the great experience, not to mention just the plain FUN they had on this tour.  Thank you David, at Greek Bible Tours.  It was everything we could have hoped for.

Valorie, Thank you for your feedback. GBT

It was a very good trip.  We connected well together as a group which was a huge blessing as we followed in the apostle Paul’s footsteps.

Larry, We appreciate your input and will take these suggestions into account going forward. GBT

Overall the tour was splendid. Some suggestions:
1) Tour guide talks on the bus should all be on the whisper device. 
2) Tour guide talks on sites should be more concise, not so long giving more time to self walks touring the sites. 

Agape Kingdom Fellowship Tour 2023

Brian, We are so glad to hear that this was a good fit for your high school. We hope it launched these students into the next season of life with great memories and helpful knowledge of the Scriptures. GBT

Great experience for our students.  Accomodations were nice, our meals were divine, our bus driver did amazing, and Kostas our guide was exceptional in knowledge and experience.  

Trinity Christian Academy

Evan, You're welcome. We hope to see you again some time. GBT

We had a great time. Wonderful people, delicious food, and comfortable accommodations. Thank you for this fantastic experience!

Carolyn, Our goal is to extend exemplary hospitality. We are so glad you felt welcomed. GBT

Our group had a wonderful time on the Footsteps of Paul journey. Our guide, Kostas, did a fantastic job of integrating the history and mythology of the times with Paul's writings, giving us deeper insight into the meanings of the Scriptures and letters he wrote. The arranged accommodations were fantastic, and our bus driver was amazingly skilled at navigating narrow passages and curvy mountain roads. We all felt safe and well-cared for. Thank you for blessing us with a trip of a lifetime!

Warmly,
Carolyn Hansen Creal
Trinity Christian Academy

Such an incredible experience I will never forget. Costas was the most knowledgeable tour guide I have been around. This trip was phenomenal and I am so thankful for the opportunity to have met the team. 

CMDE Post-Conference Footsteps of Paul (2022)

This tour was absolutely wonderful - great people to be with, the best tour guide, great travel, accommodation and food. We would highly recommend it.

We had such a great time!  Costas and William were wonderful - really, couldn't ask for better guide and driver.  The accommodations were very nice, the restaurants fabulous.  I do wish there was understanding that people who travel that far would want to do a little shopping and exploring, and that was not really an option.  That needs to be considered.  Would I go again - absolutely!  Thank you.

2021 Faith Bible Church

Our whole team really enjoyed the tour and we plan to do this again as a church group.  Costas was a fantastic guide.  His knowledge was excellent.  He was patient and kind in communication.  William (driver) drove safely and with consideration, and he provided some light relief to relationships.  All provided meals were fantastic.  We ate too much!  Hotels in Corinth and Athens were excellent.  Other hotels had either bad beds or ineffective air conditioning in rooms.  Overall, we really loved the experience and will recommend it to others.
