MOUNTAINS & VILLAGES OF EVIA Evia is an amazing island, very green and lush and the walking was varied. I was pleased by the amount of history and local knowledge imparted by the guides. The butterflies, flowers, tortoises and slow worms interested me a lot. The hotel provided a very comfortable base with the sea, tavernas and sea front giving evening entertainment. This is a great mix of moderately challenging walking with great food, wonderful history and interesting nature. I would heartily reccommend this holliday
The tour was including most highlighted places in 3 capitals of ancient civilizations. I was dreaming about Athens, Istanbul and Cairo. It is a perfect trip. Hotels, guides, food, atmosphere were than my expectation.
From the start of the trip all the way to Budapest was outstanding. A great mixture of culture, sights, and history was very entertaining. The distances between all the cities was not as long as a previous Western Europe trip we had taken. Our tour leader Karina was outstanding. She kept us entertained on and off the bus and genuinely wanted us to have a great trip where we felt comfortable anywhere we went. There were two downsides of this trip. Serbia and Bulgaria are not quite ready for tourism. The people were not too welcoming and the sights were not as great. One other downside were the included dinners were mostly chicken. I can have chicken anytime at home and I would rather have different choices at the included dinners or find dinner on my own.
