TO GREECE

We had a wonderful time on Homeric Tours going to Greece and Egypt. We loved all of the touring. The guides were all very knowledgeable and very good. The hotels were all great and in very good locations. The food was good at the hotels and also on the cruise. Also, the flights were all great and on time. We would definitely go on another Homeric Tours trip in the very near future. – Thomas & Elizabeth Z. Granby, CT
