Everything was good. The best were the knowledgeable tour guides who provided interesting information on mythology, history, economy,… The communication with the tour organisers was effective as well.
However, when I got information about the separate parts of tours, I found out that this whole tour is at least 3 times overpriced which is disappointing.
The Ancient Greece tour is good for amateur greek historians and archaeologists. For the normal average tourist – it was hard to stay awake. The hotels were basic. The food was buffet average to poor quality and uninspired. Santorini was good. Overall organization of the tour was very good with only a couple of minor issues.
Everything is average, not too bag, not too good.
