Great tour, but how lunches were handled was unacceptable
I really enjoyed the tour guides and learning about Greece! I feel like I really was able to see the country. My main complaints are that we spent hours (4 hours) on the bus to most locations and that we were forced to wait until well after 3pm to eat lunch (we had breakfast around 7:30am most days). When we finally stopped for lunch, we were not given any choice as to what we wanted to eat. The tour guides stopped us at specific restaurants that they probably made deals with and then charged us 13 euros for meals. After the first time this happened, I started buying my food from shops when we stopped for the bathroom or making sandwiches during breakfast. Other than that, I had a great trip.

Hi, I am so sorry to her that we could not meet your expectations for the lunches served during your Greece trip. We always offer multiple choices on our regular small group tours. Your group was a private organization group and it was 120 passengers total. When the group size is this large, unfortunately it is not possible to offer options during meals as it would take a long time to cater different requests. Therefore, the meals were pre-selected with the group leaders and prepared before the group arrived at the restaurants. That is the only reason your guides stopped at certain restaurants. Not all restaurants can serve a meal to 100+ passengers at the same time. It needs a lot of preparation. 13 Euros is approx.15 usd and it is very reasonable for a 3 course lunch in Greece. I hope you have enjoyed the buffet breakfasts and dinners at the hotels. We would love to see you on one of our small group tours to experience the local cuisine with a variety of dishes you can choose from. Kind Regards, Shebby
