Our perfect visit in spring to Egypt

Fabulous room, food and wine were excellent.

Our group was only 10 people which was very easy to manoeuvre us.

Secrets of Greece including Corfu by Trafalgar

Secrets of Greece including Corfu

I really enjoyed the Secrets of Greece with Corfu. It covered a great deal of sites across the country, and was a real education. The tour was adequately timed, and allowed various amounts of personal time in some locations. The sites were all interesting, except I felt that the stop in Themopylae to see the statue of Leonidas was unnecessary and added extra time to an already long day. The arranged meals were good, and the optional excursions were very well done, and received. The accommodations were nice, although I wonder if all Greecians sleep on hard beds? Our Tour Director, Nadine, and all the local guides were very good and informative. All in all, it was a great tour and one I would recommend to others.

Overall the trip was amazing, saw so much in a very short time but think that travellers need to take into consideration all the additional expenses for meals not included and the extra add-on experiences. Italy is not cheap so the added costs were significant!
