About this trip
Lapped by the azure Ionian and Aegean seas, Greece is considered the cradle of Western civilization. From art to science and democracy to philosophy, the accomplishments of the ancient Greeks have shaped the foundations of Western civilizations. Meanwhile, both the Greek mainland and its 6,000 islands enchant with their unique beauty, archaeological treasures and the glittering aquamarine seas that surround them. During the Athens and the Greek Isles Tour, we will embark on an exclusive voyage of discovery, follow the ancient epic tales and encounter history where it was made, while getting immersed in the flavors, colors and traditions of Greece.

The tour to Turkey was very enjoyable. Renata was an excellent tour director and added her knowledge of the area. Eje, the Turkish tour guide, was very good as well. The food (typical Mediterranean fare with lots of local fruit and vegetables) was delicious everywhere and we all really enjoyed the location and menu of the final dinner. The Conrad and Agora hotels were very nice. The Charisma was average however the location was very good with a balcony overlooking the sea, a beautiful sunset every night and the Turkish spa services were very good and reasonably priced. The itinerary was excellent--things that I expected and some that I didn't but really interesting. The hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia was magical! Thank you for all the behind-the-scenes work at the office.

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting Turkey. Cappadocia was my favorite part of the trip especially the balloon ride.

Dear Sheri, We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful tour to Turkey and that the weather cooperated in Cappadocia to be able to do the balloon ride. We hope to welcome you again on another Sights and Soul tour in the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip to Portugal largely because of the tour guide, Patricia, who's knowledge and dedication to all of our group's needs was exceptional. Secondly, I've traveled with Sights & Soul previously and have met some wonderful, interesting women but none as enjoyable as this group of travel companions. For those considering traveling to far off places and desiring comfort and some luxury, I recommend Sights & Soul. Everything is a cut above!!!

This was a wonderful trip! It was full of interesting and surprising activities which created a unique experience. Our guide Marlene was exceptional as she showed us beautiful France! I was fascinated by the depth of her knowledge and expertise and how she fully embraced our group and her dedication to making sure all our needs were met and our experience was top notch. I can't say enough or recommend this trip enough!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this trip and this company!! Our trip leader took such good care of us. All transitions were seamless- from transportation to museums; timed tickets, destination arrivals. The scenery, food, wine, gelato- all were amazing! The accommodations were all excellent. I made lots of friends too!! Would love to travel with S&S again!

I recently finished the South Africa, Zimbabwe,, Botswana trip in December, 2024. It was a trip of a lifetime. I have traveled on many international trips with Sights and Soul (as well as several other tour groups so I have a comparison) and they consistently have an itinerary that visits the major points of interest in a region. Days are full, transportation is efficient, local tour guides are well informed and very open to sharing the history and culture of their country with visitors.
Kerry was our tour guide , and one reason that I chose this tour was that I had previously traveled with her to Viet Nam. She is calm, gracious and experienced. Two of the ladies experienced acute illness, and she arranged discrete treatment from local physicians.
Flights on one leg of the tour were cancelled because of strikes by the ground crew in Johannesburg. Kerry and our South African tour guide got us rescheduled on another airline later in the day so that we would not miss any part of the safari experience, which is the highlight of this trip. She arranged for us to wait in an airport lounge area with free food and drinks.
Sights and Soul Travel is a tightly run organization that does everything possible to make their trips run smoothly. Kerry is a credit to this company and is the type of experienced tour guide
that can manage the challenges of supervising a group through the joy and excitement, but also the stressful situations that arise with international travel.
