We were skeptical about traveling with Eskapas, but with friends recommendation, we travel 1st time With Eskapas on this beautiful Greece and Turkey Tour. We were in total surprise. The Hotels, Itinerary, safety concerns were fabulous. We highly recommend it.
would give it 4.5/5 stars. I signed up for the 7-day absolutely greek (escorted) that consisted of 3 separate tours: a half-day Athens city tour, a 4-day Olympia-Delphi-Meteora tour and a half-day 3-island tour. PROS: 1. The tour company agents were always available and prompt in attending to my enquiries before and during my visit (specifically Alex and Thanasis). 2. The tour guides were knowledgeable and funny, especially George during the Meteora tour. 3. The hotels were great and met many new friends with whom I now still stay in touch. CONS: 1. The island tour was last-minute cancelled due to low participation. I do understand this is not entirely the tour company's fault as the weather was not great that week and it's the off-season. This happened just 12 hours before the cruise tour (it was the second-last day of my visit: and I felt pretty disappointed) and would certainly appreciate it if I had been informed earlier. However, the tour agents were quick to respond and helped me make alternative arrangements. I was still able to visit an island on my own. 2. Didn't have many lunch options for the Meteora tour.
All my expectations were met. The hotel was good, the food however was not and bad mosquito problem. I enjoyed being in Hersonissos and a nice walk to the seaside restaurants of which there are many. All the day trips were interesting although long hours on the bus having to pick up people at their beach resorts. Crete is a big island so there was much ground to cover.
