It was a great experience the tour Director was very knowledgeable. For November weather was great rained only once while on bus ! All archaeology sites were as expected a page out a history. I will probably travel again with Globus through Affordabletours .

The tour director is very knowledgeable of her job. She takes care of the smallest details of the tour. I am impressed. Our special dinners in Greece were ok especially the dancing we enjoyed it but the food does not meet the value of the price of 69 euros.

The tour operator are exceptional professional and friendly

Our guide Maria and bus driver Lucas were phenomenal! They made the trip a venture of a lifetime for me. Both were exceptional in their jobs and very friendly and professional. Maria was a wealth of knowledge and very pleasant.

Tour host/guide was completely knowledgeable about, Greek history, mythology, culture, food, travel itinerary and stray cats and dogs. Wonderful trip. Would recommend it to friends.

Our travel could have been perfect but rather our first day was cut short due to the country National holiday. In the future please let your client know if their is a holiday in the country that they are visiting. Other than that the tour was wonderful and our guide is amazing and very knowledgeable.

Our tour guide and hostess were amazing. Everyone was very hospitiable. The country is wonderful! Definitly recommend taking extra time - coming in a day earlier and staying a day later at least. There is so much to take in! We found that taking a hop on hop off open bus tour on a free day. This allows you to really see the heart of the city, like the bazaar and open market and move around better. This also is much cheaper than a taxi especially if you want to go and see the Rivera and beaches of Athens.

We fully enjoyed the trip from the beginning to the end. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable. The hotels were all very clean and nice. I would highly recommend Globus to anyone.

Very well organized trip. Everything matched our expectations.

Everything was perfection. All my questions are always answered promptly. I've booked three trips through affordabletours.com.

Tour director was wonderful and so knowledgeable. She shared her knowledge with us.

The only issue I have is that additional dinners are overprized for the value of food. We are vegans and there was not much of the choice in the food. Many other restaurants prices were much lower than the ones we paid going with the group.
