What a great experience!
Excellent trip. Very professional. Well organized. Guide was knowledgeable and went out of her way to make the trip special by doing small extra things like ice cream coupons in Italy and a short unscheduled stop at a small mountain town in Greece. She also helped us with local calls and intrepretation with language and banking.
