Tours & vacations in 2019 & 2020

The most memorable moment was exploring Poros on foot: great views in the almost uninhabited western part, and climbing up to the top of Poros town and seeing where the locals lived. Also, Hotel Saronis on Agistri was wonderful, especially the breakfasts. The restaurant in front of it was great too. Both very friendly. (more)Debbie Williams

The most memorable was visiting ancient sites which we'd planned to do for many years. (more)Margaret Carey

The entire route was memorable between places, orchards, wildflowers Coastal regions. History, architecture, the people and food and wine. (more)Sanjiv Dewan

Hard to pick out high points of this vacation because there were no low points. Even the brief and brutal thunderstorms on two occasions did not dampen the spirits (and only dampened cycling kit for a short while). The theatre at Epidavros was spectacular and the experience of staying in Napflio was memorable. (more)Lucy Watson

Every day presented something new and memorable. The archaeological aspects, notably at Epidaurus, Mycenae, and Argos, lived up to the epic tales that surround them. (more)Greg Liebman

The Laconia coastal bike tour was such a fantastic way to really see the country and feel like you've lived a bit of it... the scent of hot olives and orange blossom greeting us as we meandered through little back roads and dirt tracks we would never have thought of taking if we'd been finding our own route...

Would highly recommend, this was our eleventh biking trip around Europe, we go same time each year, the first week in May, the group (seven mates) have rated this in the top three. (more)martin mitchell

Good fun, we felt we were well off the beaten tourist track at times. Scenery impressive. (more)Hilary Thomas

Fantastic!...Exploring the Byzantine capital of the Pelopponese, Mystras, en route between Tolo and Gytheio. Beautifully painted churches, crumbling ruins, a Frankish fortress with magnificent views and a convent tortoise! (more)Taissa Csaky

Our vacation was wonderful.... We have travelled extensively all over the world and driving in many different countries. This agency was the best that we have ever worked with (more)Sarah Turner

Memorable parts? Everything! Crete is so diverse with so much history. We really just saw a little bit. Our visit to Spinalonga was memorable. Although busy with parties of tourists it is a very special place with a special history. Tips? There is so much to do and see in Crete. Impossible to do in one visit. Concentrate on just a few things or one particular region. Local benefits? I hope so. We booked everything through a local Cretan agency. Used a local car hire company,... (more)Maureen Rae

Memorable parts? Staying in the mountain village, Kefali (Inachoria). The accommodation was perfect (renovated local house with balcony). The hosts of Panarama where very welcoming and also ran a great Restaurant. Nice relaxed place to stay at the end of a days cycle. Tips? We did the 6 day cycle over 2 weeks, so allows you soak up some of the local sights on the rest day. Plenty of additional information provided Re circular cycles from the towns. On the rest day in Paleohora, we... (more)Stephen Reynolds

Memorable parts? The generosity and kindness of the local Cretan people - particularly in the smaller villages/towns. The scenery was beautiful. It changed as we moved from one area to another. There were some great views to be had everyday and you are never too far from some wonderful history. It brought to life the history I had studied as an 11 year old many years ago. Tips? In the bigger towns always seek out the restaurants in the smaller alleys - ask the locals where's good... (more)Sue McNuff

Memorable parts? We enjoyed a custom trip around Crete. Elpida at the office was terrific help in planning our trip. Our guide Dimitris was superb - engaging, knowledgeable, at all times thoughtful and kind - he did everything to make our trip one of the best ever. The most memorable time for us was seeing the Northwest and Northeast sections of Crete - gorgeous - although we loved hiking the Imbros Gorge, exploring Chania and Heraklion, and being in the mountain villages. Learning to love... (more)Christine Singer

We had a very nice time. This was our first time using Responsible Travel. We now have another company to use for trips in the future. (more)Eileen Mouradian

I enjoyed exploring the island on ancient trails that have been used for centuries by local people but have never been written down on a paper map until this century. (more)Brenda Varnam

The highlight was the culture and people of Naxos. Excellent vacation highly recommended. (more)Trevor Rowlatt

Memorable parts? This is such a difficult question because the whole vacation was fantastic. Walking from Delphi down into the valley of the olive groves and hiking up to the monasteries of Meteora were both amazing experiences. The local guides that David engaged for these walks gave us so much insight into the area. Equally as memorable was our cycling in Pelion with Panos, our local guide there. He found so many hidden gems just off our main route that we would never have found alone.... (more)Karen Humphreys

Excellent and well organised and choosing walks bearing in mind everyone's walking ability (more)Victoria Taylor

Superb....Everything was exciting: the weather, scenery, local food and drinks were marvellous (well, I don't think there's an appropriate adjective to describe the kind of emotions the environment provokes). (more)Alexander Kartashov

Whilst in Corfu we booked a day trip to Albania which was very interesting and the couriers were excellent. We loved the mountain areas of NW Greece. (more)Charles Fox

Absolutely excellent. I would very highly recommend to anyone looking for superb walking , beautiful food , unbelievable scenery and very friendly and helpful hosts. A brilliant vacation thank you. (more)Richard Tookey

Excellent vacation, we enjoyed it all - highlights were Meteora, where we did a hike to view the monasteries and walking in the Vikos Gorge, stunning, our photos don't capture the majesty of it all. (more)Penny Thomson

In terms of weather, this was the most unusual week I have ever spent in Greece during the summer. There was heavy rain almost every day, with a red alert for dangerous thunderstorms for most of the time. Nevertheless, the route passed through areas of outstanding beauty and interesting Byzantine historical sites. (more)Ray Dixon

The actual cycling was most memorable, and the beach time. It was the purpose of the trip and well recalled! (more)Wayne Goodman

Meeting an old woman and her goat on a back road outside Petalidi. Couldn't understand a word she said except for "kafe" but with body language I understood she was inviting us for a coffee after our ride. A great example of being able to get closer to the people in a country visited. (more)Martha Nitzberg

It was an all good self drive adventure which we enjoyed. (more)Barry Marshall

The most memorable moment was walking to the southern most point of mainland Greece and the wonderful spring flowers everywhere. (more)Penny Mcveigh

Memorable parts? In some ways this was a perfect vacation in that it combined cultural tourism, activity and lazing on a beautiful beach. Visiting Delphi and then the monasteries in Meteora was incredible. However, with the children, the chance to spend a few days in and out of the water on the Adriatic coast was incredible. Tips? This is quite an easy vacation in some ways. The transport is all arranged and you get the most personal service from David (our guide). He only takes... (more)Geoff Braterman

Memorable parts? Seeing the monasteries in Mereora. Tips? Hire a car. Local benefits? Beautifully restored house in Portaria where I stayed. Overall rating? A little bit too long. A week would have been enough. 2 days in Athens. Two days in seeing Delphi and Meteora and three in Portaria. (more)Julie Griffiths
