The 3 day cruise was enjoyable however we didnt have much time exploring the islands due to the ship's rules of disembarkment and the long walks towards the shopping areas and sights
My friend has previously done same tour and like myself felt it was too many countries in timeframe .Perhaps breaking the trip into two segments with option for longer tour with mote time to appreciate.Instead much of the group got viruses from being run down and practically living on coach. Also my preference would be to have guides who reside in those areas as they are truly invested in their homeland. Much of the group noticed the obvious sell for guide receiving top score and top daily tip if 6euro a day. I don't appreciate the sell and English based guides are doing it as a lifestyle,also said blank lovenotes in tip envelope would only encourage people to feel obliged to give more.Perhaps there needs to be a fairer system in place as many travellers cannot afford the said almost 100 euro each to guide and driver. The driver however was incredibly competent and professional,perhaps his feedback would be helpful.On the trip however, I suggest a two week trip that ends in Budapest with option for three nights in Budapest and add on week for remainder of tour ending in relaxed location before ending in Athens
a Greek cycling adventure A fabulous holiday, with beautiful scenery, a lot of hills and excellent guiding from Yannis and Angelos. The trip went without a hitch and it was great to be on the bikes from start to finish.
