“Tour overall was excellent. Loved the Akrotiri guided tour. Guide was very informative. The tour guide , Tanya, was a bright personality with lots of great stories. Maybe a lunch stop earlier in the day would be good as we didn’t stop for lunch until 3:30pm. Not a huge deal as there was a stop for snacks earlier on.”
