Glories of Greece Reviews

This was a great introduction to Greece, although it was between 30 and 40 C most days during the tour in July it was not too discomforting due to the low humidity, except for the last day when it was 42 C. Having two nights at each hotel, other than the first and last nights of the tour, made the trip more relaxing. Given the circumstances again, an ...read more extra night or two in Athens pre or post tour would have been worthwhile. Hotels were about 3 star and quite acceptable. All hotels had swimming pools, the one at Olympia was very nice. There was one optional experience - a meal out, this was expensive and very poor value - included a Greek salad padded with bread and poor quality wine out of cardboard casks.

A good pair of walking shoes is a must for this tour, given the many unpaved surfaces. Greece is very popular with tourists at present, but apart from some of the sites in Athens it did not feel overcrowded. Overall a great experience delving into the history of the Greek civilisation and adding modern Greece. Took a great photo from the top floor (pool floor) of the Athens hotel.

A wonderful trip overall, very well organised, professional and knowledgeable tour guide, comfortable coach with lots of leg rooms, all hotels are in the central location. Would be better if all the hotels have free wifi.

This was our second tour with Insight and was as good as the first one. The tour guide, Joanna was lovely and very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Her enthusiasm certainly enhanced the tour. We made some friends on both tours and felt very comfortable with the whole experience. We will certainly go on an organised tour again and use Global ...read more Journeys as our preferred travel agency. Thank you Georgie.

The tour was excellent. We had a great tour guide called Anna who was very knowledgable but not boring. The hotel in Athens was very nice but it could have been more central to the Plaka and shops. The location of the other hotels on tour were great. Overall I would highly recommend this tour.
