I enjoyed Greece and the islands so much I came home a different, more worldly person! This was my 3rd EF tour and I’m doing a 4th trip in September! The thing I love about EF is they don’t give you too much free time like other companies so I don’t have to figure out what I want to do and see … they do all the stressful work for me! Our tour director Aspa was awesome!! I felt safe and all my needs met at all times! Keep up the amazing job EF!!

This by far has been the BEST group tour I have ever taken. The EF Tour's Crew were extremely professional throughout the trip. Every transfer was on time, buses were clean, hotels were beautiful, and the tours exceptional. Mykonos and Santorini were breath taking. Our tour host "V" was amazing and very knowledgeable of Athens and surrounding islands. He treated us like family. I now have a friend in Greece!!
