Lovely and very smoothly
It was great we can customize the trip. It’s better than going on a big bus. It’s better than doing an excursion from the ship. They were excellent. The beach was beautiful. We got to see the Greek theater. We worn in a rush. Didn’t have to wait on other people it was excellent. They are great. The best tour I’ve ever been on with somebody. The Driver was great. The tour guide was great. It was excellent.
