The trip was amazing! The Best of Greece tour covers all the main highlights you'd want to see in Greece and more! The included experiences were great and the optional excursions give you the opportunity to do and learn even more. Our tour guide, Matt, was knowledgeable and our bus driver, Tasos, was very skilled. The hotel accommodations varied from acceptable to excellent. Breakfasts were generally good, but the included lunches and dinners were hit or miss. We loved visiting Kalambaka and Mykonos; we would have liked more time staying in Nafplion and visiting Delos. Best of Greece was a fantastic vacation -- however, we wouldn't necessarily recommend it specifically as a honeymoon (as we did) because it is a very group-centered trip, especially during the first week. Overall, we loved it and highly recommend this Expat Explore trip!
I booked my honeymoon in Greece and Turkey and it was a fantastic experience! All the hotels, guides, and activities they recommended were excellent! Also, having all the internal transportation taken care of removes a lot of the trip's stress and makes it much more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
This tour was a comprehensive introduction to some of the sites of ancient Greece, but also included Mystras, a Byzantine town and Meteora, a spectacular landscape with monasteries perched on top of huge rocks. I would personally have benefitted more from what I saw if I’d read up some information in advance. Lida, the guide was excellent, and she gave a lot of useful information about the sites and the mythology and history behind the sites and the history and mythology about them. The hotels were generally good quality though the Rex Hotel in Naufplio was a little tired decor wise. The Nidimos hotel in Delphi village had the best views! There was plenty to eat, of variable quality. The restaurant for the evening meal in Pylos was not very good; the booked group table was given to others, service was glacially slow and the food uninspiring.
