There were few guides and they gave us information about the trip and night in different languages, they all been helpful through the night.

Because of Chris's way of bringing people together I made a new friend. She is from Italy and we spent 2 more days together even though we were solo travelers. The Cretan dinner by far was the most fun out of my whole trip. The food....I cant even describe…”

“Getting there was a little tough gps brought me up to the top of a mountain. Finally found it at a hotel and first was put with a large group that was sitting down and eating. We were eventually taking to the reception and our dance instructor greeted us there. She showed us around the village which was very interesting. Me and my mom took the dance lesson and practiced at least three dances. It was a lot of fun. After our lesson we were given fresh orange juice, and their traditional after drink with some nuts. It was a beautiful view.”

“The evening was very enjoyable. Loved hearing the music and seeing the dances from different areas of Greece. Food and wine were delicious and plentiful.
