It was a perfect vacation... The lodging was excellent nestled in greens with lots of hiking and biking trails to choose from, all meticulously planned out by the owner Peter. Food was superb, prepared by Carolyn, Peters wife who ran the place immaculately. This place is actually perfect or simply lazing around for a few days, sipping on limitless wine and taking a dip in the pool.

The guides, Annie and Melita were fantastic and showed me a part of Greece I never would have seen. I especially loved how they took care of ordering our
food and introduced to us to Cretan delicacys. Meeting new, like-minded people is always a hi light of a group tour.

Ask about the group you'll be traveling with. Age, nationality, etc and be clear on the level of exertion the trip entails. All was great for us, but for others they
may have been in over... (more)Dina Ferrante

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
