Some fond memories made on this trip - We all thoroughly enjoyed this trip and it is probably the highlight of our holiday. We picked this trip to see a different perspective of our holiday to Skiathos. Our guide, Michael was superb, such an eccentric character (in a good way) and so passionate and knowledgeable about the history of the church. You couldn’t help but go along with him and be enthused by what he had to say. Two different churches, a fabulous monastery with museum and lovely cafe in the most perfect setting. We are so glad we booked this trip and would like to thank Michael for the memories and knowledge he gave us.

A monastery tour with charming guide. - We had an excellent afternoon with our wonderfully knowledgeable guide Michael, who really made this trip a great experience. Two churches and a monastery and a wonderful visit to a little cafe in a stunning location. Worth every penny!

Saint Michael - Excellent trip with Michael. An excellent tour guide (but don’t tell him that or it will go to his head!). Michael is very personable, knowledgeable and self deprecating. He had us all in stitches. Lovely 3 sites visited, with beautiful views. You don’t have to be a nerd or religious to enjoy this dip in to Greek life.
