    From start to finish, this was an incredible experience. It reminded me of the importance of living in the moment. In a world focused so much on social media, I believe everyone should experience tours like this one, which takes you through natural and historical wonders. By the time the tour ended, I felt like I returned home with a refreshed perspective. Absolutely wonderful!

    Exploring the Acropolis and its museum was a highlight of this trip. The history felt almost tangible, and seeing such an iconic place in person was incredible. Our guide was knowledgeable, keeping each stop interesting. The trip also had just the right balance between activity and downtime, giving us the chance to savor the moments, like enjoying a quiet dinner in Athens. Would recommend to anyone interested in history.

    The tour did a great job of combining iconic sites with a bit of relaxed discovery. Exploring the Acropolis and its museum was incredible; it was as if history came to life in front of us, and the museum had fascinating pieces that added real depth. I also appreciated the chance to unwind a bit while we toured, especially during our visit to Montepulciano. It was the perfect moment to slow down and take in the beauty of Tuscany, and our Nobile wine tasting made it even better. The whole trip was smoothly organized, from our guides to transportation.

    This trip offered such a well-rounded experience. Sipping on a spritz with cicchetti in Venice was a real treat; it was simple but captured so much of the city’s character. Then, getting to taste Nobile wine in Montepulciano felt like a nod to the region’s deep-rooted traditions. Everything on the tour ran smoothly, with helpful guides and comfortable travel arrangements, which let us focus on enjoying the places rather than worrying about logistics. The small details really made this journey feel like more than just sightseeing. Thanks to the whole team for making it a memorable experience.

    This tour was truly unforgettable. One of the best moments was exploring Rome’s beautiful fountains in the evening; the city seemed to come alive under the lights, and each fountain had its own story and charm. The guides were knowledgeable and kind, giving context and history without overwhelming us, and the drivers were always right on time, making things easy and seamless. Thanks to everyone involved for making this trip so enjoyable.

    For our honeymoon, this tour was exactly what we wanted. Santorini felt unreal with its calm atmosphere and beautiful sunsets. Venice was another highlight; floating through the canals was just as magical as we’d imagined. Each place had its own charm, and the blend of Greece and Italy made for a memorable trip. Everything was well-organized, so we could just relax and enjoy without any stress. We felt safe and taken care of the whole way.

    As someone who’s always been hesitant about joining tours, I was very unsure about this one. I contacted Eskapas with all my concerns, listing them one by one, and the tour operator responded patiently to each of them. The answers I received were reassuring, and what I experienced on the tour was exactly what they promised; not more, not less. For me, this level of consistency is enough to trust a company and confidently recommend it to others.

    I took my sister, a history graduate, on this tour as a gift (and of course, for myself too!). As a historian, she was thoroughly impressed with the itinerary. She was particularly amazed at the depth of knowledge the guides shared, which even she found surprising given her own expertise. The guides not only spoke fluent English but also had an incredible grasp of history. For me, it was a truly unique experience as well. We both developed a special appreciation for our driver, Dimitris, who is both a wonderful person and a dedicated professional. A big thank you to him! One day, we’ll definitely join another Eskapas tour.

    As someone who usually spends most of my time at home, I definitely felt the impact of not exercising regularly on this tour. While no one else in the group seemed to mind, I found the pace a bit intense at first. It felt like the first few days at the gym—exhausting initially but easier as I adjusted. The long, guided walks were so enjoyable and informative that the tiredness was absolutely worth it. I was highly impressed with both the accommodations and the itinerary. I’d recommend this tour to anyone. Just be sure to pack good walking shoes and comfortable clothes!

    Florence truly stole my heart; it was an absolute favorite for me, with its beutiful Renaissance art and architecture at every turn. The combination of Italy and Greece was ideal; the natural beauty and history in both places made this a perfect choice for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in Europe’s best. Typically, I’m not one to repeat the same tour, but I could see myself making an exception for this one. Special thanks to our guide Matteo and driver Luigi for their exceptional service and kindness throughout the journey.
