Loved this trip! Maria is amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable. Loved every minute, all I can say is that I wish there was another day at each stop but that’s what you sign up for! Just be aware that the timetable is very tight on activities, this is not a tour where the strolls are leisurely or the photo opportunities lingering. We were kept at a very brisk pace and did not get long to sit or enjoy views for long
I was very lucky to be on the first edition of this tour in May 2024! It was great introduction to all the countries along the coast between Italy and Greece. Itinerary was the perfect mix of capital cities and seaside towns, with plenty of options for swimming, city walks, and visiting historic sites. Our guide Jude was passionate and knowledgeable about all the countries we visited, and about being a Topdeck guide in general and this really helped everyone get the most out of the tour!
Our tour leader, Nikos, was excellent. He made the trip amazing. He was so passionate and knowledgable about Greece and had amazing and authentic restaurant suggestions. I can’t speak highly enough of Nikos. The Mykonos hotel was lovely. The Paros and Santorini hotels were below expectations. The Paros hotel in particular was very run down and the bathroom shower was broken and the bed uncomfortable.
