Well worth it - There was every detail tended to and the tours were well worth the efforts to get to Crete and Santorini. The accommodations selected were excellent and all with whom we came in contact were very happy to help. The communication ahead of time relating to questions of ours or information the tour company needed was efficient and precise. This tour was well worth it.

Not as good as expected - For the positive aspect, the drivers were always on time and very courteous. For the other aspects and considering the high price: 1. A little more information would have been nice. The website and our ticket said the pick-up from our hotel in Athens on Day 1 was at 8 a.m. But we were advised by the driver to the airport that it was at 6:45 a.m. Good thing that we were ready to go. 2. There should have been some options to upgrade to a higher class on the plane to Heraklion, on the two ferry rides (to Santorini and to Piraeus) and the "boutique" hotels. Frankly, for the price of the "tour," I expected that we would be travelling on a higher class. The seat location on the ferry from Heraklion couldn't have been worse. 3. The only private tour was a three-hour private tour in the Knossos palace and the Museum. The tour guide was good though. 4. We were left to our own in Santorini, with the only option to go on a half day cruise around the island. Some information on other options would have been nice. 5. The hotel in Santorini was not near the center and taxis are hard to come by in the island. 6. I wish there was an earlier ferry (despite the long wait at the crowded port) from Santorini to Piraeus as Day 3 will be over by the time you reach Piraeus.
