All the hotels worked out perfectly. As it was our first time to Greece, and we did not know the areas when booking, we ended up in perfect locations in Mykonos and Santorini. Our hotels were lovely, the people were friendly and accommodating, and the trip itinerary worked out great. When we had to change hotels based on small itinerary change, your staff was on the ball and made all the hotel changes for us and the payment was easy.

Our trip was awesome as far as route and hotels are concerned. I loved your website because it enabled me to pick a perfect route, get distances, hotel options connected automatically to Tripadvisor reviews etc. Your staff was friendly and helpful, the hotels had our information and were all that was promised. I will use your site again for sure. The hotel prices were awesome.
