Was a great trip, an excellent thing to do in Greece. The day started trying to find which bus was ours (wasn't well marked nor were we told what to look for), but once on the road, things ran smoothly. Our guide talked nonstop for the entire 2+ hour ride which is great if you want to learn about Greece. The monasteries were spectacular. The guide again was a little pushy about wanting us to pay attention to everything she had to say but did have some fascinating facts. Walks were not strenuous. The bus was comfortable. The one disappointment to me was the restaurant. I much prefer to be given some time in a small town to explore cafes and choose where to eat, but we were dropped off at a huge restaurant with no other options and it was hot with flies everywhere. They had a decent selection buffet style and I think this is how tours get kickbacks, but I'm in Greece. I want to explore the small villages in a part of the country I likely will never see again, and not be herded in with the rest of the tour groups. But that's my preference. I would say overall this is a GREAT deal and an awesome experience and highly recommend this to anybody.
