"The Oia sunset walk was worth the entire trip. Elena knew every story behind every stone and her love for Greece is completely contagious. Already planning our next GreceTour."

"Naxos completely surprised me — I had no idea how beautiful the mountain villages were. The jeep tour day was the highlight. Food was extraordinary throughout."

★★★★☆

"Beautifully organised with real depth. The cooking class was fantastic fun. I'd give five stars but the ferry to Paros was a bit rough — just bring sea bands if you're sensitive!"
