Greeking.me | Original Journeys to Greece & Italy Reviews 120

From my initial contact with Nickolas to the finalized itinerary and arrangements with Barbara, we are very satisfied with our interactions with Greeking.me. Barbara was always available if I had questions -- patient and courteous. Our drivers were cautious, friendly, well qualified and always on time. Having them lined up to deliver us to and from the hotel and airport took the stress out of travel! The guides were pleasant, knowledgeable, informative and communicated easily in English.
We would absolutely recommend them to anyone traveling to Greece! I'm so happy a friend told me about them.

Traveling to Greece had been a far off dream for me. When my daughter and I began discussing our long list of wishes and hopes for where we'd want to explore, what activities we hoped to include, and how we'd fit that all in within our time constraints and budget, we reached out to a few resources and narrowed it down to Greeking.me.

We were completely amazed by the attention to every detail and the itinerary that was custom created just for us. At every turn, the VIP and over-the-top private or small group tours, the boutique hotels and villa, the dining recommendations, the transportation arrangements and answers to every question along the way were executed flawlessly.

We enjoyed every moment and were delighted by our private tour guides that had exceptional knowledge and experience in the cultural and historic significance of the sights we saw. They were personable, funny, engaging and flexible, and even treated us to favorite dining spots with their food recommendations.

I was so impressed and truly rate this as more than 5 stars in my review. Our trip was a memory maker! I would recommend them hands down, and have hopes to engage their company in the future for another adventure.

Our trip was amazing and we’re so pleased that we used Greeking.me as our agency. We have already recommended to our friends and family. We specially appreciated the constant communication and quick responses to any queries. The food walking tour with Ismene was by far our favorite, it was simple but her knowledge and carisma made the whole experience. The Acropolis tour was eye opening, I think our tour guide name was Evita or something like that, we were so glad she did the tour early in the morning to avoid the crowds. As military veterans crowded places make us uncomfortable and she was understanding and guided with the urgency we needed. The catamaran cruise was beautiful and the crew so nice. The cooking class in Crete was great and we learned a lot about the cuisine and the family really made us feel like friends. The olive and wine tastings were definitely an experience, we had never drank so much wine on vacation before. We enjoyed every drop though. Overall we are very satisfied and happy with our trip and we thank the Greeking.me team for putting together such an amazing experience for us.

My wife and I had a wonderful trip!
Athens:
All the transfers to and from the airports were seamless. We loved the COCO-MAT Athens JUMELLE. The breakfast buffet was a great way to start the day. After a long day we swam in the pool and relaxed in the sauna. The front desk was helpful with all our needs. On our free day we visited an archaeological site and walked 20,000+ steps through the Plaka district to shop. Our Acropolis & Acropolis Museum Tour was very informative. The historian/archaeologist guide was very knowledgeable. The dinners were delicious and we truly enjoyed the Greek cuisine. The excursion to Delphi and the Temple of Apollo was amazing! The guide/archaeologist was fabulous! She explained how Greek mythology and history are intertwined. We especially enjoyed the lunch in Arachova overlooking the valley. The Athens by Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting was nice. The gyros at the first stop were the best we have ever had!
Santorini:
The Altemar Suites were beautiful and we enjoyed our stay there immensely! The room was lovely. The front desk was very accommodating. Thank you again for compensating us for the breakfasts, it was unfortunate the facilities didn't provide a breakfast buffet. The Semi-Private Sunset Sailing trip was absolutely delightful! The crystal clear waters, the food and drinks, and the people we met were memories that will never be forgotten. One of our highlights was the Santorini wineries visit. We felt so special tasting the wines paired with the foods with our own sommelier and server. And we're not even big wine enthusiasts. On our free day, the front desk helped us book a sunset horseback ride. We also walked the streets of Fira and enjoyed some shopping.
Mykonos:
The ferry to Mykonos was pleasant. We had some lunch and enjoyed the comfortable seats. We loved the room location at Acrogiali Beach Hotel. It was right on the beach and the water was wonderful! The breakfast buffet was great. Another favorite was the stop at the archaeological site of Delos. We found it quite educational and in awe of the size of the excavation. The Olive Oil Tasting was also enjoyable. The expert was knowledgeable and informative. We spent some time walking the streets of Mykonos and Little Venice eating the food and shopping. Our free day was exactly that, laying on the beach and relaxing.
Thanks to Greeking.me, we had a wonderful time and will treasure the memories.

Thanks for doing an excellent job planning our trip to Greece! Greeking.me exceeded our expectations exponentially! Your excellent communication and organization skills resulted in a fantastic first vacation to Greece. You treated us like VIPs during the planning of the trip, the actual trip, and the end of the trip. There were so many things that Greeking.me did that made the trip fantastic. In particular, we were pleasantly surprised to find our drivers waiting for us although our planes were significantly delayed to Santorini and Athens. Moreover, there were a couple of times that we needed to reach out for help resolving some problems (e.g. left cellphone in car, late for tour) that we created. We were so grateful to have the emergency contact phone numbers and were very happy that someone actually answered the phone when we called. As a result we were able to enjoy our fabulous wine tasting tour in Santorini and the insightful Acroplis/Parthenon tour in Athens. We will use your service again and again and recommend you to anyone who is planning a trip to Greece.

Epharisto! Epharisto!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Greeking.me was for us during our first trip to Greece. Although I was intimidated by trying to plan on my own, I was hesitant to use a travel company that I knew nothing about. Do not hesitate to use this company!!!! They were nothing but helpful, kind, professional and on their game!! We were treated like royalty with timely first class pick up and drop off from all ports and airports, wonderful hotels with friendly staff and good recommendations, amazing catamaran cruises and personal tours in each area. We visted Athens, Milos, Folegandros and Santorini and everything was flawless. Barbara was very patient and helpful with itinerary changes and suggestions and checked in on us during the trip. We felt very comfortable that if we needed anything while we were there, she would be there to assist. If we are fortunate enough to go back to Greece, contacting Greeking.me will be the first thing we do!! Thank you Greeking.me for an unforgettable trip!!

Our family really enjoyed our trip to Greece. We found Greeking.Me’s choice of companies to work with (tours, pickups) to be excellent. The individual guides- Penelope of Athens Walking Tour; Eva of the Parthenon Tour; Evi of the Naxos Walking Tour; Maria Daphne of the Naxos Cultural Tour; Theos of Santorini Tour were very knowledgeable about history, archeology, and culture. We were impressed on how passionate they were in what they do and their desire to help us know and understand Greece. We found it very useful to have the ‘whispers’ tour audio system in the Acropolis tour. The crews of the boat tours you booked for us (Costi, Tassos of the boat around Milos, and Sofia, Cris, and George of the Santorini Sunset Catamaran Tour) made the tour fun. They helped us understand the islands from another perspective and worked really hard in keeping everyone entertained and safe. Kudos to these and the drivers as well who were always there to meet us and take us to our destinations. I want to make a special mention for Barbara Saranti and thank her for what I feel was above and beyond service. She stayed in touch with us and regularly checked how our trip was going. And when she was out of the office, had her colleague (Nino) follow up with us. When our bag didn’t make it from Naxos for our trip back home, she helped us get the necessary information to track and eventually retrieve our bag. I doubt we would have our bag without her help as the airline never informed us that the bag was arriving. Efcharisto Barbara. We really enjoyed our vacation and thank you Greeking.Me for helping us have this once in a lifetime experience. We all loved our time together in your beautiful country, Greece. I’ve recommended Greeking.Me to a couple of friends planning a trip to Greece and I hope they take me up on my recommendation and have a great experience like we had. Efcharisto.

We had done some online research and found greeking.me as a leading option for planning our dream trip to Greece. Right from the very first phone call we knew right away we were making the right choice. Our itinerary was masterfully planned and every last detail executed perfectly by greeking.me. The entire team was amazing and also nice to know that we were working with a local Greek family-owned business! 100% recommend!

Our trip was a custom three week visit to Greece with this travel group scheduling the first and third week covering northern and southern Greece. Arrangements were extremely well done and went off flawlessly.

We used Greeking.me for our first trip to Greece, and they were fantastic, from the planning to the actual trip, they were on top of everything! We had a few minor issues while we were in Greece, which had nothing to do with the travel agency, and they went above & beyond to help. Our hotel in Crete didn't have any air conditioning, it broke, so Greeking.me helped with getting us a different hotel that had functioning a/c. They were so helpful, no matter what we asked or needed. I'd never hesitate to use them again, and anyone who's considering using them--do it!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

We had a great trip arranged by GreekingMe to Athens, Milos and Santorini. Our agent, Nino, was so good about checking in with us during our travel. He made sure everything go smoothly for us.
We were happy with both hotels they picked. We felt so spoiled at the lovely Milos resort hotel by host, Efi and her family. Food was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Abelonas hotel was at nice location of Imerovigli, from where we were able to hike part of the Oia-Fira trail. We also enjoyed a beautiful sunset at our balcony.
Our guide at Acropolis, Nikos, was knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much about ancient Greek culture from him. Both sailing trips were the best experiences of all. Such relaxing way to see the islands’ landscapes and enjoy the pristine Aegean sea.
Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Our trip of a lifetime to Greece was made even better with the help of the incredibly responsive staff of Greeking.me
Not only did they tailor our journey to meet our specific desires, but they did so in a very professional manner. We found their services to be of great value both in terms of knowledge and budget. Traveling can be very stressful. There are so many factors to consider. Greeting.me took away our worries and delivered a wonderful experience from day one. We would highly recommend this family owned business to anyone traveling to Greece.

Amazing service from beginning to end for a multiple stop trip to Serbia, Italy and Greece. They took care of everything and took the time to pick experiences and hotels our family would enjoy. Will use them again and again!

Greeking.me personnel were extremely helpful and very easy to communicate with. Emails were returned promptly and professionally. Despite our numerous change of plans during the initial trip planning and then later with restaurant reservations, our contact had no trouble making required accommodations as necessary.

This was our family's first trip to Greece, so didn't know where to even start planning. When i spoke with the initial travel agent, I just told her what our interests were and what we we were hoping to get out of our family vacation. Shortly after that talk, they put together a really personalized itinerary for us that met all of those wants. Our trip was amazing from start to finish!

The app they use with the trip itinerary has everything you could possibly need for the whole trip, including emergency numbers, addresses, confirmation numbers, restaurant recommendations, etc.
Every detail was taken care of and everyone was reliable with the itinerary we were given, right from our initial pick up in Athens.

Our itinerary started in Athens, then to Naxos and then Crete and back to Athens over 2 weeks.

We loved the personal tours of the Acropolis and Knossos (on Crete). Both of our tour guides were friendly and really knowledgeable, and could read the room when my tween started looking like it was time to move on :).

The personal island/village tour on Naxos might have been our favorite of the excursions, and loved our tour guide, who was like our own sweet little Greek Grandmother. She actually stayed with us for whole time. I thought maybe she would just take us to the places to eat, but when she sat down to enjoy the meal and the morning snacks with us, it made the experience even better. She had so much insight to share and it was nice getting to know her. I don't think the distillery was a highlight of the tour, but it was short, so that was fine. The first two villages were our favorite.

Our boat tour on Naxos had to be altered a bit due to high winds, but the crew was great and it didn't feel like we missed out on anything. It was really nice to have other people on that tour with us, from all over the world. Even though we had the only kids on the boat, nobody seemed to be bothered by that. The captain even made a batch of homemade Moussaka for our lunch.

We were so appreciative of your team contacting us during our trip to adjust our scheduled beach day on Crete. They recognized that it would be too long of a drive to really have a relaxing day, and changed it 2 days before to Matala Beach, which we absolutely loved, and fulfilled my daugher's want to cliff jump on our trip. It was a testament to how your team pays attention and personalizes each experience. On one of our free days on Crete (Heraklion), we took a taxi to Aparadise Beach Bar on Karteros Beach, and that may have been one of our favorite beach days, so would be a great suggestion to share with people. It was easy to get to from Heraklion and the water was amazing. huge waves, super warm, clean, and my son loves airplanes, so the jets landing at the airport all day just overhead was a bonus for him. We got there early enough to get beach loungers/umbrellas and it was just over 20 Euro for the whole day for 4 of us.
My biggest beach tip for a summer trip, is make sure to bring water shoes or cheap flip flops, as the sand at every beach was SCORCHING hot. it was actually comical to watch people plan their route to the water from their own chairs by stopping in other people's umbrella shadows...lol!

The accommodations were all spot on. I think our family favorite was Liana on Naxos though. it was so nice to be able to just walk to a bunch of different restaurants and the beach immediately across the street was great. And it was only a 15-20min taxi ride if you wanted to get to the main "city" area.

I feel like i could go on and on but i would rate our experience a 5 star trip from beginning to end, and will definitely use Greeking.me when we go back...which we for sure will after this trip.

The Greeking.me team worked with us to plan an 11 day trip to Athens and two islands. During the planning stage we exchanged ideas until they met my wish list for the trip. All of the details (hotels, tours, transportation in country) were relayed to us and documented for us to follow along as the trip. We had in country emergency phone numbers in case we had any problems along the way. On one domestic flight a member of our party lost a piece of luggage. The Greeking.me team contacted the airline and stayed in touch with me until the luggage was retrieved. The Greeking.me team was great and everything on the trip went off like clockwork and met our every expectation.

Greeking.me put together an amazing graduation trip for me and my daughter. From hotels to guides to private transfers, flights and ferries, they did it all! Our guides were amazing, knowledgeable and so fun. I gave them a rough idea of what we wanted to do and they filled in all the blanks. History, wine, Mamma Mia and the beautiful Aegean Sea. It was a trip we will cherish forever!

We had a perfect 10 day trip to Greece thanks to the amazing planning with Greeking.me. From my initial discussion with Alexandra to the operational assistance of Barbara and Konstantina, communication throughout the entire process was excellent. One of my husband’s requests was ‘I am not driving in Greece’ and that was no issue! Our hotels and excursions were all fantastic. Our transfers and tour guides were always on-time if not early, and were so knowledgeable. I needed to change a couple of pick up times while on our trip and after contacting Greeking.me I’d receive a quick email response confirming the new time was arranged. Our ferry was running behind schedule ( not unusual) and Barbara texted me the new departure time. I told my husband and the family next to us overheard me and asked how I knew the new time. When I told them my travel agent texted me, they said ‘we need the name of your travel agent!’ I highly recommend Greeking.me and will recommend them to any family or friends thinking about a trip to Greece. Thank you all for everything!

I’m overwhelmed with sheer delight in every experience Rachel and Greeking.me planned for my family and I for our 1st visit to Greece in early June!
Start to finish, an amazing vacation that I can’t imagine having planned for ourselves.
Our transportation was exceptional throughout. We started and ended our journey in Athens with the same driver, it was the loveliest surprise.
We could not have asked for better when it came to our accommodations. Beautiful, clean, luxury, comfort- each stop exceeded our expectations.
The excursions we had included a private Acropolis tour and a sunset catamaran dinner cruise in Santorini. Both were experiences we will never forget.
I can’t wait to get back in touch with the friends I’ve made at Greeking.me to plan my next visit to this breathtaking destination. I fully recommend using them to perfect your travel plans.
Thank you for providing my family and I so much peace of mind throughout our ethereal stay in Greece!

We had an incredible vacation without a hitch. Greekingme took care of everything. All the transfers and transportation nightmares were avoided and we traveled peacefully and in luxury with private drivers and guides. They made island hopping easy and I'm ready to do it again.
