This trip Number One - for us!


 We have been traveling for the past few years and this trip came in as Number One. Our gracious Tour Leader was so accommodating and provided us with so much history of Greece. Both Nicholas and Jane speak Greek and when taking us to Tavernas we were made to feel as special as locals.

Nicholas ordered varieties of food to taste and share from so many locales. Of course we loved Athens... the Museums came alive with the PhD Lecturers provided during our trip. And who doesn't love the Plaka? We had lots of time to explore the winding, twisting alleyways that brought hustle and bustle right up to our every step. 

It happens that I am a sailor... so, it took a lot to impress me... NicholasTours.com was able to do that in spades. Wonderful full suites onboard with private showers ensuite. Our Chef, Anastacia, especially curated by Nicholas (who has quite a food background as well) created volumes of colorful, tasty, healthy food - we lacked for nothing!

Meteora, Loutraki, Corinth , Nafplio - are all so special. Nicholas and Jane had personal connections to share in every locale. In fact, Nicholas' mother was born in Ancient Corinth. That's a story you'll want to get first hand from him. Talk about the local's experience. 

The history lessons, stunning up-front visits to World Heritage Site ruins, all brought us to a marvelous two week tour of Greece and it's islands. Let's go do some dancing... next!

LOVED the Acropolis Hill - Parthenon

 


My Trip was Great! What a cool mix between catamaran and mainland activities.

This was definitely a Taste of Greece. Local Honeys, Wines, Foods, Dances, Wildlife forays, Superior Hotel Suites, Fun at every turn... All Inclusive!

For me, the Acropolis was breathtaking... as was our hotel with front row night views of the Parthenon. Although the Acropolis Museum is a remarkable display of architectural talent... I liked the Hill the Best!

I swear I could feel the footsteps of the millenia before me. 

Meteora is a also a must see. This spectacle is testament to Geology, Mankind, the Pursuit of Religious Salvation and the spectacle of things that are bigger than we each are.

Traveling with NicholasTours.com was so worthwhile. I'd encourage you to go too.

Love

Perfect Combination - Island Hopping & Mainland Exploration

 We recently went on the trip of a Lifetime. Those words sounds so trite and hollow compared to the actual experience... but, they are true.
Our Tour Guides, Jane and Tommy were exceptional, warm, knowledgeable, attentive and fun to be with. 

I so loved the fact that we had Choices all along the trip! We were able to respond to nature, amazing, antiquities, and unbelievably tasty local cuisine. Both Tommy and Jane speak Greek. Tommy's parents are from Greece... and Jane simply learned to speak with daily lessons with Tommy. I'm not sure who was better!

There were lots of degrees of exertion and activities... and at every point we could change our pace to fit out capabilities. Comfort was the rule of the day. Such first class food, local scenes, hotel suites, and local friends that Tommy seemed to know everywhere.

I'd encourage anyone to take a Trip of their Lifetime with NicholasTours.com.

Thank you... let's go again!

I don't Think I would Change a Thing!


 Our trip was absolutely AMAZING! NicholasTours was definitely an "A+". Two weeks in beautiful Greece. Thank you both, Tommy and Jane, such a life changing trip. I thought the first week that we spent on the 50' Catamaran visiting Private and Public villages in the Cycladic Islands was going to be the best... Our Captain and Chef Anastasia were in such harmony with NicholasTours.com leading the way.

The Meals on Board the Catamaran were remarkable, fresh, healthy, tasty, and prepared with Greek Love. I wouldn't change one thing at all.

Meteora was breathtaking. Mushrooming was so unexpected. Our PhD Guides were so full of life and easy to understand. 

Thank you
