What people are saying…

  • "The trip was AMAZING!! All of the tour guides and drivers were very good. We spent the most time with our driver Panos and he was most excellent! The tours that were lined up for us were very informative and very interesting. The Herodian was great, Marjie and I had drinks at the rooftop bar every night there. Nafplio is a cool city, it was a beautiful location, our room had a great balcony overlooking the water and it was on the quiet side of town which was nice to be able to go into the busy town square but then retreat to a quiet hotel. We did end up getting a massage in one of our Crete Villas and we also were able to get food at some very small tavernas and it was so fresh and delicious! Marjie even found a random fisherman as he was bringing his boat to shore and bought some fresh fish from him!! Overall the trip was a great success! The timing was perfect as it was not crowded anywhere we went. Thank you so much for your help organizing everything!"

  • "Penny, I just wanted to thank you for organizing, booking and everything else you had to do for our trip to Greece. It was amazing, the best vacation we have ever taken. The accommodations were excellent, they treated us very well and the view was spectacular (In Crete and in Santorini the ocean view and in Athens we were able to see the Pantheon from our balcony and from the hotel’s restaurant). Transportation was also great, we felt like royalty with the private transportation and personal guides. What we like the most was that we did not have to worry about how to go from point A to point B, the only thing we had to do was to show up. My family and I had a wonderful time in Greece, the people are friendly, the food was wonderful and the places we visited were incredible. Our favorite place was Crete, on the 5 days we were there we made a lot of friends. My daughters’ favorite thing was the tour to the different islands. Thank you very much and we will be calling you again to help us plan our next adventure, this time to Italy. "

  • "Hi Penny! The trip was AMAZING! my husband and I are over the moon with how everything turned out. I’m so happy we worked with you, you have no idea. You made everything seamless and we’re beyond appreciative. We had so many highlights from this trip but the private tour in Athens was one of my favorites. Maria was an amazing tour guide we were so happy to have had the opportunity to spend the day with her. Also, our driver and guide that day Alex was incredible as well. Thank you for connecting them with us and making my dream trip a reality. We hope to work with you again soon!"

  • "ATW is my go-to Travel Agency. They are professional and will simplify all the steps you need to get to where you want to go. They have eased my travel experiences from US to Europe yearly. They are very transparent and honest. For flight changes and cancellations I never had to hesitate. Having them on speed dial is a plus! Traveling during a global pandemic was a breeze, thanks to ATW Travel, and I was given all the proper documents to be prepared for my upcoming flight, while other passengers were scurrying for the paperwork they didn’t know they would need. I highly recommend ATW to individuals, families, and even larger groups!"

Their experience and knowledge regarding the requirements made all the difference. It's a concierge service. On time and always there for you."

I will certainly be using them for personal reasons in the future, and even for my businesses. Their response time is nothing short of amazing, and their ability to be resourceful is extraordinary.

The team is professional, knowledgeable and extremely customer oriented. On many occasions, we have relied on ATW Travel with complex and urgent travel needs to and from Greece with aging family members. They truly made the process painless and helped us navigate best options. Any time of day or night, the team was there to get things done. I would also recommend ATW for any family vacation needs. They are creative and help find the best value for a memorable trip!"

    Shiva Dubrowski

  • "We had an amazing time...the only thing that concerned us was the location of the hotel in paros...there were many stairs and l have a troubled knee so it was a bit challenging. Also our room was a bit disappointing we were tucked away in the back with no view and the room itself was also a challenge as the main bedroom was basically a loft with the mattress on the floor. The day cruise was great we really enjoyed this. Naxos was the best!! And of course Athens was incredible as was our tour guide Maria overall l would had preferred a direct flight to Athens but that being said our trip was one to cherish. Thank you!"
