Our trip to Greece was amazing, and huge kudos to Magdalini for planning the entire vacation. Her attention to detail made it seamless, fun, easy to navigate, and memorable!
I had lots of questions prior to the trip and she travel agent patiently answered every one of them, which made things that much easier for me.
Greece is a wonderful country and I am glad we had her to help us plan it all so we could experience this wonderful country, its food, culture and people!
Most enjoyable was being able to run in two Olympic stadiums, breaking plates at a restaurant, and seeing the historic sights!
If we could do something differently, we would probably add a few more days to the trip to squeeze in an island hop to see some islands. I thought, given it was winter, that we would not do the islands, but in hindsight, it would have been nice to experience an island or two as well.
We also decided, on our own, to take an open-top bus to see the seaside, and that was a mistake. The bus ride was about three-and-a-half hours and we ended up not getting down, fearing we would have to wait longer for the next bus. That was probably the only mistake we made and we probably should have chatted to Madeleine first. She would have given us a better solution, I am sure!
AGE Travel Group:
From the beginning, I singled out the case of Nishani as a solo traveling mom with her 2 kids so I wanted to do my best to plan the New Year’s Eve Trip of their dreams!
Planning a trip is one part, but listening to the travelers’ needs that’s another story. Me and Nishani shared a great communication bond and I was happy to answer all of her questions before the trip started while drinking an e-coffee at the zoom meeting we had organized for this reason! From making party suggestions for New Year’s Eve, to making reservations to restaurants that you can experience plates-breaking, everything it is that your heart desires, I’m here for you to make that happen!
Traveling to my country shouldn’t be just another trip to be added on your bucket list, but an experience that you’ll cherish for a long time!
Thank you for trusting me and my company for your trip to Greece!
It was my pleasure getting to know you and working with you!
