Usually, I make all travel arrangements myself, however, this time I decided to follow a friend’s advice and work with a local expert. I'm speechless! I couldn't be more pleased! I've visited more than 30 countries across the globe in my life and my trip to Greece was undoubtedly one of the top three! Thank you, Harris and Travel12, for making this an unforgettable experience.

Tasos and his team at Travel 12 were excellent from start to finish. The arrangements made for our driving holiday of the Peloponnese were perfect, with no problems along the way. The hotels and itinerary were exactly as we had hoped and having our local contact really paid off. Tasos was attentive to our requests and was quick to respond to any communications. It was a holiday to remember!
