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

We just returned from our wonderful trip to Greece and we’re so pleased with all the selections that were made for us in accommodations through the greeking.me agency. Their agents were very attentive to what we were looking forward in terms of location and type of accommodation. Along our travels, we came across complications with inclement weather that cancelled our ferry rides. This meant we needed new hotel accommodations and ferry tickets, as we couldn’t leave the island we were at to reach our next destination. While they quickly found us new accommodations, we were able to enjoy our vacation while they took care of these issues. Having the drivers picking us up at every port we quickly realized was a necessity more than a luxury. We learned that some islands had as few as 8 taxis on the island. This could have resulted in us waiting a long time if it wasn’t for the pre arranged lifts. Everything was seamless, beautiful and trouble free. I highly recommend Greeking Me and will be using their services again.

Greekingme created a wonderful itinerary tailored for our interests. We enjoyed a fabulous two week experience that was worry-free. They took care of everything! I am recommending Greekingme to anyone who wants the Greek experience.

I would give Greeking.me 10 stars if I could!!

Let them help you plan your dream vacation to Greece!!

We found this company after deep research on the internet and could not be happier we used them They exceeded all our expectations. There were no issues at all. They listened and followed our requests, as well as making extremely helpful suggestions. We live in New York and can't wait to return to Greece because of our trip booked with Greeking.me

Greeking.me made our trip in Greece for 11 days a magical experience for our entire family. Barbara was the perfect partner to co-develop our itinerary to visit Greece. We explored Athens, Santorini and Crete and many of the historical sites learning the deep history with the help of our tour guides in Athens and Crete. They truly made the experience very enjoyable and I must thank your company for appointing very knowledgeable guides.

The food tour in Crete was superb and we felt very welcomed at all eateries. We for sure all gained couple pounds with all the awesome delicacies enjoyed. Santorini was absolutely stunning and held true to the beautiful views and the most gorgeous sunsets. The accommodation at Santorini overlooking the Aegean was breathtaking. The catamaran experience was amazing and the island tour was phenomenal. We appreciate Barbara’s help for our last minute requests and facilitating early travel arrangements in Santorini.

The selected accommodations were all 5 star and at perfect locations which had great amenities. There is no other way to see Greece other than with the help of a great team at Greeking.me!!

Thank you from my entire Family!

Loved our trip to Athens, Meteora, and Chania (Crete)! As seasoned travelers, we usually plan our own trips and we wanted to visit some out of the way places we missed on our previous visit. However, getting around Greece presents many challenges, and especially for the places we wanted to see. Barbara captured all our "must do's" and preferences, and the team executed the plan to perfection. It was nice not having to worry about crazy drivers and navigating byzantine road systems on our own for a change. Our transfers were all on time and courteous. (Barbara's recommendation to get upgraded tickets for the air transfer to Chania was an inspiration!) Our guides were simply phenomenal, particularly for Meteora and Samaria Gorge. The guides got us in and out of the best spots for pictures without a fuss while explaining the history and local traditions behind each site. We loved the cooking classes! The hotels were all very tasteful and conveniently located, and we particularly enjoyed SanSal in Chania. (The place is a gem!)

In terms of constructive criticism, it would be good to have a tipping guide added to the trip documents in order to be prepared for the local customs. While we would prefer not to have to tip drivers, guides, etc. after putting together an "all-inclusive" trip, it's hard to escape as tourists and we want to be respectful. We made good use of the restaurant guides in Athens and Crete, so consider adding Meteora. We liked that you provided information on the types of foods to accommodate different needs (i.e., vegan, etc.) and a good mix of restaurants to include 5-star and local favorites. Finally, like others noted, the sentiment behind the welcome gift was very much appreciated and set a nice tone to the beginning of our trip. However, we aren't big drinkers so the gift wasn't practical for us. In our case, chocolate or a gift voucher for a local restaurant would have been a better choice.

Greeking.me did a great job with arrangements for 22 days in Greece (Athens, Naxos, Mykonos and Santorini) for our 30th wedding anniversary. They listened to me and collaborated with me so the hotels (my favorites were 18 Grapes and Myst Boutique) and tours were just perfect for us. Their final pre-trip review uncovered a duplicate tour, it was quickly changed to one we really enjoyed. Our personal tour guides and drivers were all wonderful. And it was easy to communicate through the TripPlans Ap when I had questions and to find our tickets, time and place to meet our guide etc. My only critique is our gift towels which we received at the beginning of our trip. They were difficult to carry around in carryon luggage for 17 days. Yep, after 22 days in Greece coordinating planes, ferries, hotels, tours, and drivers my only complaint is about their gift. Thank you for making our celebration so very special and memorable.

Thank you for putting together a fantastic trip to Greece for us!

The itinerary flowed perfectly. Our guides were all excellent, with great English and extensive knowledge of each location. We were met in very timely fashion at each destination by drivers in clean, beautiful vehicles. A shout out in particular to Dionys, who was the driver for the majority of our trips. He was great! Very personable, great English and we always felt we were in safe hands with him. The overnight accommodations you selected were amazing – each centrally located to our interests and beautifully appointed. The staff at each were exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. The Trip Plans app was a great tool to have! It made it so easy to review our day to day itinerary and to know where we needed to be at what time each day. Thank you for making it available to us.
In closing, it was an educational experience visiting so many historical sites and combined with the immersion into current Greek life it was an overall wonderfully memorable trip for my sister and me. Beautifully planned and executed by Greeking.Me. Kudos!
We definitely would recommend Greeking.Me to anyone planning a trip to Greece!

Greeking.me created a memorable trip for our family of 2 adults + 2 teens with the right amount of history, culture, and leisure time. During the planning phase, correspondence was timely and ideas and direction were available. Even after we locked in the itinerary, Barbara was very accommodating with last minute requests like a car rental. While traveling, questions were answered immediately and updates were provided as required. We are thankful we used Greeking.me's service and highly recommend working with them.

We had a fantastic 2-week trip to Greece in June 2023. All the arrangements made by Greeking.me went off flawlessly. Fabulous guides, terrific drivers, outstanding hotels & meals. Highly recommended. Will use again on any future visits to Greece.

The private tours provided by Antony (Treasure Hunt) and Katarina (Acropolis) were amazing! I only have positive feedback for the tours and our guides - their ability to engage with my young kids (ages 5 and 8), their knowledge of Athens and Greece, and their friendly, pleasant, and patient personalities.

I have already recommended Greeking.me to a friend who is traveling with her family to Greece later this month.

I highly recommend working with Greeking.me!! They created a trip of a lifetime. Nico listened exactly to what I wanted, and put together the perfect amount of activities mixed with downtime. All of the hotels were excellent and in a perfect location. The tours were great and all of the drivers showed up 5 minutes early. They make it so much easier than trying to naviagate everything on your own. The whole trip worked smoothly and considering all that was included, the cost was quite reasonable. Enjoy your trip with Greeking.me!

Greeking.me was a wonderful company to work with. We knew nothing about Greece only that we wanted to visit there. We contacted Greeking.me prior to Covid and had some preliminary discussions. our initial trip was put on hold for a couple of years but they seamlessly kept in contact. They had great suggestions and worked with us to adjust our trip to fit our budget. They somehow managed to find us accomadations that were spectacular, The tours, guides and transfers went without a hitch and when we did have to reach out for assistance their response time was immediate. I believe that this organization provides a super value as i think that I could have never booked the experiences, and services for the same cost that the charged. I have recommended this agency to many friends and have no problem recommending this agency if you are thinking of a wonderful trip to Greece. They took our bucketlist trip and made it a reality

we have enjoyed working with your company and all the planning prior to the trip was seamless. I feel that all the people that i interacted with were knowledge and provided good guidance for our family's needs (i.e. vegetarian meals). Another example, one of the travel agents provided us with explicit directions with a map that showed us how to use the public transporation in Athens. And we are especially grateful for you all accomdating all four of us for the wine tour in Santorini even though we had originally said only 3 persons would attend.
Our accomodations were all top notch and would like to recognize Panos from Santorini, whom went above and beyond in helping us with find restaurants, taxi service and delivering a delicious breakfast every morning. In addition, we really liked Maria, our driver in Crete. She had a nice demeanor and it was great to see her two days in row
Overall we had an incredible vacation and only would make one change which is to take a ferry instead of flying from Crete to Santorini.

When my husband and I decided that Greece was going to be our next trip, I looked online for a Greek company to work with, as I wanted to keep as many of the dollars we spent in the country. After doing extensive research, I decided to use greeking.me to help plan our trip, and I am SO glad I did!!

From start to finish, everyone we worked with - from Alexandra to Melina to Barbara and all the many guides we were fortunate enough to spend time with - was simply wonderful! The folks at the company were attentive and helpful, and helped guide us to the many options we could take part in. When things needed to be changed to fit the schedule and our preferences, they were absolutely kind and never seemed frustrated when those changes needed to be made.

Each tour guide (and we had many, as we did a tour out of Chania, 2 different ones out of Heraklion, and 2 when we were in Athens) was an unbelievable source of information, and spending time with them was truly like spending time with an old friend. They were incredibly kind and considerate, and we never once felt uncomfortable hanging out with people we just met.

I would not hesitate AT ALL to use greeking.me again should we be blessed enough to travel to Greece!! Such a wonderful experience, and I appreciate so much how everyone helped to make our first time in Greece so amazing!

Greeking.me listened to my main interests for the trip and provided an itinerary based on those interests. The actual trip exceeded expectations! All transfers went very smoothly. The accommodations and locations of the accommodations were excellent. The drivers and tour guides were all customer focused and very knowledgeable. Throughout the trip communication with Greeking.me was very good. The app with the trip details and recommendations for each area made it very easy to keep track of the itinerary. Thanks to Greeking.me and the itinerary they created, my first trip to Greece very easy and enjoyable!

Greeking.me planned our entire honeymoon vacation in Greece, and we could not be happier with the support they provided! From our first phone call with Nikos who helped us determine the best dates to travel since we were going in the off-season (his suggestion ended up in giving us much more pleasant weather!) to the thoughtful attention to planning out our itinerary to suit our wishes for the honeymoon - we ended up having a fantastic time!

Each of our drivers showed up promptly (and had our new married name which I had requested from our travel agent), our hotels all had thoughtful notes and gifts waiting for us at check-in, and every single one of the companies Greeking me used (tour guides, wine tours and cooking classes) were absolutely stellar.

If you are looking for a unique, bespoke and memorable trip to Greece, look no further than Greeking me! I plan on recommending them to anyone we know who is planning to travel there.

Lynette and I just returned from a 22 day trip through Greece organized by Greeking Me. We have tried to do 2 international trips a year since 2015. This may have been our best trip ever. We traveled from Athens - Nafplio - Momenvasia - Olympia - Delphi - Meteora - Thessaloniki and then to Crete - Santorini - Naxos. An ideal and full itinerary. The hotels - the guides - the transfers - the activities - all coordinated with and booked by Greeking Me were perfect. Greeking Me provided us a very impressive App (Travel Pass) that was so complete including emergency telephone numbers (..never used…) for each day. Greeking Me did every thing very well. If you are thinking about a trip to Greece, these are the people to work with. They are really, really good.

Greeking me formulated a custom 12 day itinerary for 7 of us which included all hotels, a mansion in Santorini, private drivers to and from all airports, as well as to all the different regions we visited. Tours of sites by a professional, history and archeology educated guides were provided based on our unique requests.

All the drivers and guides were top notch. On time and knowledgeable.

It was a HUGE relief to relax and enjoy the drives, not worrying about navigation, traffic, nor treacherous roads. It was very nice that all the tours were planned at a time when cruise ships were not ported and crowds weren’t an issue. Hotel selections were fantastic, breakfast included each day, and well thought out locations to allow walking proximity to town to explore, shop, and dine and still be quiet with beautiful views of the Meteora mountains or the sea.

Our Santorini sunset dinner cruise was cancelled due to windy condition. Alexandra was able to upgrade us to a private dinner cruise the very next night in Naxos with no additional charge !

We have used other very popular, PBS televised tour companies in the past. Large groups of 30, up at 5 am for mass transport, marginal hotels with no AC, and being obligated to always seeing a few sites that didn’t interest us. And they charge so much more !!

This is a family run company who is based in Greece.
You pick exactly what you want to see.

It was perfect, worry free, and the best time ever !

Best travel experience EVER!!! I recently just celebrated my 40th birthday and had Greeking.me help me plan my trip for ten of my guest. I am from the US and have never been to Greece before so I really wanted an experience company who lived in the area.

From start to finish they helped me customize my trip and answered all my questions. Despite the ten hr time difference they always responded the next day in an email.

The price is very reasonable for everything that is included, tours, ferry rides, and even the tickets for the small plane in between island.

The hotels they chose were all very nice and clean and close to towns and other activities. Their drivers were all on time picking us up and dropping us off at all the location, I felt like I was famous at times with my personal chauffeurs🤩

I highly recommend this company if you are planning to travel to Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷
