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
It was our first time in Greece and we loved it! All the hotels were superb and sailing in Santorini was amazing! Great food and drinks on a boat and we had a chance to see sunset over Oia! Mykonos was great too, expensive but 100% worth it! We enjoyed the beach clubs!
Absolutely love Expat Explore this is our second time and they really know how to look after you. Loved Greece and the people were lovely, very relaxed. Will definitely go with Expat again, Well done guys Regards Arlene and Scott Cameron.
