Learn about sites and legends that defined Ancient Greece.

Rich history, rugged ruins, remarkable beauty—you can find it all in Greece. And on this tour, you’ll experience the country’s wonders coming alive as the summer heat dies down and the locals return to their daily routines. Let the echoes of antiquity wash over you as you monument-hop in Athens, Delphi, Olympia, and Nafplio, unbothered by the peak season’s typical crowds. To dig even further back in time, add the trip’s extension to Crete—Greece’s largest and most populous island—for a study of the Minoan civilization, and discover a culture that predated even Socrates by centuries.

Overall, this was a good tour. However, it was not what I was expecting. The tour was very fast paced, but that was not the issue, the issue was not having time to see the cites or even go completely through them. It felt more like a tour where you could say, "I've been there,"...

Rob did an excellent job of fixing our rooming snafu quickly and smoothly at every hotel. He excelled at all his duties. Not fond of the one duvet fits all temperatures bedding when there are two sleepers.
