The trip contains some difficult terrain and he was patient and helpful to those who were struggling a bit, the whole trip was really well structured and the food was great too, it allowed us to get a taste of lots of different type of Greek food. Also, my friend left something in his car and he was kind enough to contact us afterwards and return it to us.

“Unfortunately, it must be mentioned that the car seats were not adequate for traveling in a "normal sitting position"; the rear seats are very low and it is impossible for tall people or, for example, customers with hip replacements to sit comfortably in the car. The tour operator should take this into account on future tours. The tour was supposed to be guided in English, but the guide spoke mainly German (the passengers were German). Otherwise, the tour was interesting, although it lasted 9.5 hours instead of 12 hours. We didn't get to visit the monasteries, but there may have been a reason for that.
