A great holiday combining visits to historical sites I’ve always wanted to visit along with cycle touring and great food. All of the hotels except the one in Athens gave an opportunity for a swim after cycling in either the hotel pool or the sea (in one case, both). We were extremely well looked after while cycling by both Christiana and Christos who kept us supplied with ice cold water at every cycle stop along with either snacks or fruit. Some of the scenery on our tour was spectacular with Mycenae and the road approaching Tolos being particular favourites of mine. The memory of some of the delicious meals we ate will stay with me for a long time.
Our guide Maria was excellent. Really organised, fun, caring and approachable. She was always happy to provide extra recommendations for each location of the tour and answer any questions we had either in-person or via messages. The people in the tour group itself were also lovely. It was an overwhelming pleasant experience and we all bonded. I have genuinely walked away from this experience with friends for life! The tour itself was also good value for money considering the cost of accommodation/ferries/included meals and that it was peak season. 100% worth paying extra anyway to avoid the hassle of organising hopping from island to island by myself! Overall, if you’re thinking about booking the Greek Island tour… just do it! Thank you Maria and the Topdeck team :))
The Greece and Turkey Trip with a cruise was exceptional! We were led by the best tour leaders/guides (Nadir in Turkey and Aris in Greece) who had the utmost concern for our safety and enjoyment. The itinerary was well planned with a good balance of activities as well as spare time. Until Turkey part the tour was almost independent. Hotel in Athens was excellent and located very close to Plaka. Transfers and flights were on time. When you arrive to Ankara , you are joining a fully escorted group. Hotels in Turkey are good but the dinners are weak at the hotels. We recommend you to upgrade in Cappadocia to a Cave Hotel. And have a dinner in Urgop town. Top notch! The tour has a reasonable price also. I recommend
