From our past customers

Just want to thank you for everything that you did in arranging our trip and being available during. We had an amazing time. Everything worked out exactly the way you had told us. Every transfer was perfect and everyone was very nice and helpful. We did not have to worry about being picked up on time and someone was always there meeting us at every location. The hotels were all great. The St. John's in Mykonos was truly 5 star and absolutely beautiful. The rooms were really nice and the entire property was perfect. The Villa Reno was such a fun place to stay. The views were incredible as was the location. The people that own the hotel were great and we had so much fun talking to the son who mainly runs the hotel. The Marmara Hotel in Istanbul was very nice and a great location but the rooms are small. The Intercontinental was really nice with very large rooms, a great pool and an excellent restaurant. Well anyway, thank you so much again and I will definitely contact you when we plan our next trip to Greece and will recommend your services to anyone planning a trip to Greece or Turkey. Sincerely Emert.
