Excursion in Athens at 8 p too late w a wake up at 6 am. Globus no longer takes group pictures which they had done for years which is a big miss. Santorini was a waste and inefficient use of time. 2 night advertised is a misadvertisement w getting to santorini at 10pm the first night. Not to mention half of stuff closed. Other than that great trip.

Awesome trip to Turkey. We had a fantastic guide, who was excellent with his explanations and also recommendations on local restaurants. We sit on the tour were lovely. Turkey is a big country, so there is a fair amount of time on the bus but it was all planned properly. Highly recommend this tour.
