You won't be disappointed! - If you're wondering whether to do this trip, I can't encourage you more and here's why: 1. Great value for money 2. Well organised and informative 3. Breath-taking scenery 4. Excellent transport 5. Local pick up and drop-off points. The more robust your footwear, the more enjoyable an experience this will be. Myself and my middle-aged partner were initially apprehensive, but that soon disappeared and we certainly were not disappointed!

Great day out at the end of October - Went with my family - 8,11,13 Yr olds - no issue really. Not hard but for younger children than mine might be too much, temperature was fine end of October but maybe too hot earlier. Guide was engaging and entertaining. Lovely stop at a small town for a swim. Overall we really enjoyed it.

Grueling journey through Imbros Gorge - The Imbros Gorge is beautiful. The hike which is predominately downhill, is about 5.5 miles. The one major issue is the rocks. I mean millions of rocks that you must navigate through. I have wonderful hiking boots and my balance was tested as well as my feet punished from the grueling terrain. The hike is not easy. It is not treacherous but it is more physically demanding then guide books let on.

Transportation issues - We were told we'd be picked up at our hotel. They called at the time the tour was to start and said they couldn't pick us up at the hotel, that they'd notified us. They had not. The man who called me was rude. The gorge walk itself was really nice. No problems with that part
