Loved our trip to Athens, Meteora, and Chania (Crete)! As seasoned travelers, we usually plan our own trips and we wanted to visit some out of the way places we missed on our previous visit. However, getting around Greece presents many challenges, and especially for the places we wanted to see. Barbara captured all our "must do's" and preferences, and the team executed the plan to perfection. It was nice not having to worry about crazy drivers and navigating byzantine road systems on our own for a change. Our transfers were all on time and courteous. (Barbara's recommendation to get upgraded tickets for the air transfer to Chania was an inspiration!) Our guides were simply phenomenal, particularly for Meteora and Samaria Gorge. The guides got us in and out of the best spots for pictures without a fuss while explaining the history and local traditions behind each site. We loved the cooking classes! The hotels were all very tasteful and conveniently located, and we particularly enjoyed SanSal in Chania. (The place is a gem!)In terms of constructive criticism, it would be good to have a tipping guide added to the trip documents in order to be prepared for the local customs. While we would prefer not to have to tip drivers, guides, etc. after putting together an "all-inclusive" trip, it's hard to escape as tourists and we want to be respectful. We made good use of the restaurant guides in Athens and Crete, so consider adding Meteora. We liked that you provided information on the types of foods to accommodate different needs (i.e., vegan, etc.) and a good mix of restaurants to include 5-star and local favorites. Finally, like others noted, the sentiment behind the welcome gift was very much appreciated and set a nice tone to the beginning of our trip. However, we aren't big drinkers so the gift wasn't practical for us. In our case, chocolate or a gift voucher for a local restaurant would have been a better choice.
