      Such an amazing experience! Learning all about the myths and history of Greece was extraordinary. Eating traditional cuisine and immersing into the culture was spectacular! Can’t wait to travel again!

      It was great! I loved it! Morgana and Tammi were wonderful and so were the rest of the people in our group!

      I had a great time ! The tour guide Anna was fabulous friendly and knowledgeable. The hotels were so clean and comfortable. The food was delicious! Definitely will travel with you again thank you

      So much fun! Having drivers/tour guides was great - we didn’t have to drive, we learned more than we would have on our own, and we were personally escorted everywhere. While the cloudy skies really diminished the eclipse experience, since the weekend itself had much more built into it, the experience as a whole was a great success!
