Reviews for Peloponnese holiday, cultural tour in Greece
Chris Pope review 3 May 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Take more cash as card payments while possible are not preferred by the restaurants for group meals and some simply say no to individual bills.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes - we used local guides restaurants coffee shops etc; No - flying and bus tours have an impact; Partly - conservation of the ancient sites is not linked to visitor fees in many cases.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Great itinerary although more details would help as its graded "full on" but doesn't really have to be - more info day by day would mean more people would make the choice to do it knowing which parts they would opt out of or take the alternative e.g. taxi to Palamidi Fortress and not the 850 steps! or coffee shop and not the (rather pointless and difficult terrain) walk to the southern most point of mainland Europe.Amalia GALLEGO review 18 Oct 2021
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The day spent in Gythio and lunch at Pylos in a very nice fish restaurant. All major archeological sites were truly memorable.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Tips to the travel company? Make the visit to Athens as an add on and optional and thus cut number of hotel changes. Guides to Epidaurus and Mycenas. Ensure members are fit to travel and not expecting the individual care of either other fellow travellers or the group manager.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Difficult to say. We were a well travelled group, respecting paths and wild flowers and polite to natives. We contributed to restaurants.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Interesting. Drivers employed and group manager very good. Hotels could be reviewed to provide better quality and more space The pickup and delivery from and to the airport reliable and much appreciated.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
