Mediterranean Expedition to the Ancient Wonders of the World
A couple poses in front of the pyramids.
We embarked on a luxury small ship cruise from Athens to Alexandria with land tours into Syria and Cairo. Along the way, we saw the site of four Ancient Wonders of the World and other ancient sites dating from 2500 BC to the Middle Ages.
Departing home (Mary Curry)We arrived into Athens on time (after 3 long flights- hooray!) and caught the Metro into town. It was rush hour and crowded so I tried to keep careful watch on all of our luggage. Just as we were about to get off in Monastiraki, I felt a man pushing me from behind who seemed to be in a bigger hurry than necessary. I was suspicious and turned around as he pushed by me. Sure enough, he had pickpocketed my daypack and had my travel wallet (with no money and only luggage tags and an itinerary) in his hand. I bumped the wallet saying loudly, "Hey, that's mine!". He dropped it on the floor and hurried out of the train.
We got to our hotel and walked to Victoria Square for a substantial dinner of meatballs, Cretan Salad, and souvlaki before trying to get some sleep.
Tilly has been quickly responsive to my texts and emails.

I love working with the travel coordinators as they are helpful, friendly, and provide the information with the committed timeframe.

I selected Adventure Travel as I was not satisfied with the responsiveness of the agent for the cruise I was trying to book and it had good recommendations. So far, I am quite happy with my agent, Betty, very responsive and accommodating.

There were two best aspects to our trip:
1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb.
2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers.
We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.
