The tour is very well organized and operated by knowledgeable guides who were able to tell us about Greek history as well as showing us the pertinent sights along our route. The bicycles which were provided were in very good shape and the guides maintained them well during our travels. The accommodations were excellent with hospitable hosts in each place. While the meals were not included in the tour, the guides were very responsive to the group in chosing restaurants each day which enabled us to taste the delicacies of the particular region. I particularly appreciated the sensitivity of our guides to the environment.
This was my first trip to visit amazing Europe. The sights we saw were unforgettable. But what made them so special were the Expat tour guide and coach driver. I looked forward to seeing them each morning. Both were so easy to talk to. Noddy Tanner was great at sharing history and stories about countries and locations while on the coach or a walking tour. She amazed me that she wasn't reading a script. She was very organized and thorough when preparing for optional excursions. She stayed in touch with the museum, restaurant, etc so that we had a smooth experience. Loved that she shared the Wise app to pay for excursions and their gratuity. It made the trip so worry-free not having to get cash repeatedly or carry an abundance of cash. Paulo Rodrigues was an excellent driver. He totally amazed me with his calmness and expertise. The traffic, fearless drivers, motorcycles, bicycles and 'walk anywhere-anytime pedestrians' were not a part of my experiences. Paulo handled it all with ease. I was amazed. Would I repeat a trip with this team? You bet I would.
We travelled all over Jordan. A lot of te sites were still in early stages of excavation, but the view and history are unmissable. Our tour leader was knowledgable and helpful and the two days in Petra gave us a chance to see everything.
