点评:I have nothing but great things to say about our 12-day trip to Greece which was arranged by Anthony from Antelope Travel. From start to finish everything was flawless, without problems, and exceeded our expectations. The tours, transfers, accommodations, and local meet and greets were excellent.
I was not familiar with Greece and did not want to deal the research of planning a trip. I found Anthony / Antelope Travel on Tripadvisor and placed my trust in his 5-star reviews. I reached out to him, and he professionally assisted with our planning. I provided him with desired dates, activities, accommodations, and travel expectations.
In our case, having never been to Greece we wanted to get a full experience of the must-see places at a 4-5 star accommodation level and full service at every location (private tours, transfers, and meet and greets). He expertly planned the trip and did so within a reasonable budget. Of course we could have saved some money if we booked everything on our own, but I found his prices reasonable for what was offered and in hindsight I am extremely glad we let him handle everything.
Our trip began in Athens and we were met at the airport for a local transfer and meet and greet, and had a private tour the following day. The hotel was excellently situated and out room had an outstanding balcony and view. Next we were taken back to the airport after a couple days and flew to Mykonos for three days. Again we were met at the airport and transferred to a 5 star hotel which was completely romantic and breathtaking. Our room had a balcony with a hot tub looking at the ocean. We had a semi private cooking class during our stay and plenty of time to experience the vibrant island.
From Mykonos we were ferried to Naxos which was the highlight of our trip. Private transfers and tours throughout this stay for three days and such a relaxing place to visit. Complete opposite of Mykonos. The accommodation was 4-star, staff were awesome, and 50 yards from the beach. We were then transferred via ferry again to Santorini for the last four days of our trip. Again excellent accommodations with our room overlooking the ocean with a balcony capturing sunsets every night. Tours were great and the Catamaran Sunset Cruise is a must! We were transferred to the airport and the end, flew to Athens and back to home to California without issue.
I have absolutely no recommendations for Anthony. He was excellent and delivered in a manner that exceeded all expectations. In my opinion the cost of our trip was far less for what was delivered. As a first-time traveler to Greece, we were able to see four completely different and popular parts of Greece. I never felt unsafe and some places (Mykonos) were more expensive than others. The only change I would have made would have been to arrange my own flight home from Santorini (International Airport) instead of two separate tickets (my own booking out of Athens and the booking from Santorini to Athens). If it is one booking going home, you don't have to go through the entire process of rebooking your bags and security. That was a hassle in Athens and took awhile. Also, back light. Every place I stayed we could get laundry done and we brought way to many clothes. Also, prior to the trip I signed up for a Wise prepaid card and was able to transfer US funds into Euros without an exchange fee. We used the card for the majority of purchases saving foreign exchange fees of over 7%.
Thanks Anthony. Hope to visit Greece again with you!
翻译:对于由Antelope Travel的Anthony精心安排的为期12天的希腊之旅,我只有好评可说。从始至终,整个行程都毫无瑕疵、没有任何问题,远远超出了我们的预期。各项旅游安排、交通接送、住宿体验以及当地接待服务都堪称出色。
我之前对希腊并不了解,也不想费心去做行程规划方面的研究。后来我在Tripadvisor上发现了Anthony以及Antelope Travel,看到他获得的五星评价后便放心地将信任托付给了他。我联系了他,他专业地协助我们进行了行程规划。我向他提供了期望的出行日期、想体验的活动、住宿要求以及旅行期望。
由于我们从未去过希腊,我们希望能尽情体验所有必去景点,同时希望入住四至五星级的酒店并在每个地点都能享受到全方位服务(私人导游、接送服务以及热情接待)。他巧妙地规划了整个行程,且费用也在合理预算范围内。当然,如果我们自己预订所有行程,本可以省下一些钱。不过我觉得他就所提供的服务而言,收费合理。现在回过头来看,我非常庆幸把一切都交给他来安排。
我们的旅程从雅典开始,抵达后有人在机场接我们并陪同我们办理入住手续,第二天还为我们安排了私人导游服务。酒店位置极佳,我们的房间配有非常棒的阳台,视野也很不错。几天后,我们被送回机场,接着飞往米克诺斯岛,在那里停留了三天。同样,我们在机场受到了热情接待,随后被送往一家五星级酒店——那里的浪漫氛围与绝美景色令人陶醉。我们的房间带有一个阳台,阳台上还有一个面向大海的热水浴缸。入住期间,我们还参加了半私密的烹饪课程,也有充足的时间去探索这座充满活力的岛屿。
从米克诺斯岛出发,我们乘渡轮前往纳克索斯岛,那里正是我们此行中最难忘的亮点。在这三天的住宿期间,我们享受了私人接送服务与各种旅游行程,这里真是个令人心旷神怡的好去处——与米科诺斯岛截然不同。我们下榻的酒店为四星级,员工服务周到,且距离海滩仅50码。之后,我们又乘渡轮前往圣托里尼,在那里度过了旅程的最后四天。那里的住宿同样出色,我们的房间带有阳台,每晚都能欣赏到绝美的日落景象。各种旅游项目也都很棒,其中双体船日落游轮之旅绝对不容错过!我们被送往机场,随后顺利飞往雅典,再回到加州的家中,全程毫无问题。
对于Anthony,我实在找不到任何可挑剔之处。他表现得极为出色,其服务品质完全超出了我们的预期。在我看来,这次旅行的花费对于所得到的服务来说绝对物有所值。作为第一次前往希腊的旅行者,我们得以游览了四个风格迥异且颇具人气的希腊地区。我从未感到任何不安全,不过有些地方(比如米克诺斯岛)的消费水平确实比其他地方要高一些。我唯一会做的改动就是自己安排从圣托里尼(国际机场)回程的航班,而不是买两张分开的机票(一张是我在雅典出发的机票,另一张是从圣托里尼飞往雅典的机票)。如果是一张机票直接回家的话,就无需再经历重新托运行李和通过安检的整个流程了。在雅典时这个过程相当麻烦,还花了不少时间。另外就是背光问题。我们入住的每个地方都能洗衣服,但我们带的衣服实在太多了。还有……出发前,我申请了Wise预付卡,成功将美元兑换成欧元而无需支付任何兑换手续费。我们在大部分购物时都使用了这张卡,从而节省了超过7%的汇兑费用。
谢谢安东尼。希望下次还能和你一起去希腊!
