Classical Greece Reviews

This was nothing but fantastic. We were blessed with the most amazing tour director, who was overflowing with knowledge of Greece. She had a fantastic sense of humour and made our trip, that much better than I think it could have been. Our bus driver was fantastic also and always drove very well and safely. Each place that we visited on this trip was ...read more great and all of our accommodations were extremely good too.

I highly recommend this trip if you are wanting to see the highlights of Greece, as there was nothing to fault, from each stop, to quality of hotels, food, excursions and pace. Hannah from Global Journeys made our booking easy and nothing was a problem in helping us. Thanks so much Hannah.

Firstly I will mention that this was a trip of last resort for me after several other bookings all failed to eventuate, not all of which had been sourced though Global Journeys. Very appreciative of all GJ's efforts to find a replacement tour that fitted into other travel plans and flight times already arranged in Greece. Tour guide was excellent. So ...read more knowledgeable and with a passion for the subject matter without overburdening with facts and figures. Always willing to answer any questions and went above and beyond for some travellers requiring extra assistance. Coach driver also excellent. Most other travellers were American in larger friend and family groups which made dynamics a bit unusual. Only one other solo traveller who was also the only other Australian on this tour. Surprised at the number of people with physical issues that impacted on ability for them to fully participate on this tour as significant walking and many steps on uneven ground are obviously involved in visits to ancient sites. Standard of hotels and food was very good. Plenty of food choices.

Wonderful but too short. Accommodation at some distance from main sights but very good otherwise. Tour guide extremely knowledgeable and organized.

I loved the places this tour took us. Especially Meteora. They were amazing. But the tour guide was like a spinster history school teacher who totally bombarded us with how wonderful the Greeks were, and are now. In the end instead of listening to the monotone voice of the guide, I would dart off in all directions taking in the sights and photographing ...read more everything in sight, as did many of the other passengers.

There was also a lot of time on the bus, (and the guide talked continuously about Greek history while the bus was in motion ) more so than other tours I have done. I would enjoy doing this tour again with a different guide and not in the heat of Summer.

We had an excellent Tour Director which made our trip most enjoyable. She knows the history of the places we visited and can relate this with Greek mythology that one usually learnt at school. Beautiful scenery and amazing culture.

I was really impressed with all aspects of this tour and the arrangements made for me. This applies from beginning to end: from when I first started making the bookings to the last day when I was transferred to the airport for the journey home. The places visited were impressive, the optional dinners were great and the organisation efficient and effective. ...read more There is only one improvement I would suggest to Globus: on the first full day of the itinerary it is not made clear exactly what is to be visited - it just says "sightseeing". It would be a helpful to know so that if you arrive before the tour starts you can go on your own to see places not included in the tour, in this case the Parthenon Museum.
