Our tailor-made trips are all planned by local experts – who work for tour operators on the ground – so that all the pesky planning details are taken care of for you. Their know-how, and 24/7 support, makes travel truly stress-free. But don’t just take our word for it: these reviews are all written by real travellers who have booked a tailor-made trip with Rough Guides. Every traveller is asked to leave a review after their trip, but you can leave one before you go, too.

The hotel recommendations were all excellent and unique with exceptional customer service accommodating every request, while at same providing a very special local vibe. The tours all exceeded our expectations with top of the class tour guides. Julia at Somewhere We Know, fully understood what we were looking for and recommended the best tours at each of our stops. These tours guides all ha something in common, their expertise and love for their Greek Culture and History. Finally, the arrangements made for the airport inter-island transfers were seamless. Always on time (or earlier) with all info provided in a handy app. I must admit I was a little hesitant in using a travel agency off the internet, but rest assured this was the best decision I made, for the priceless memories and experience we had i Greece.”

She was super responsive, helped us plan a wonderful trip, and helped when last minute changes came up (missed flight, changed tour start time etc...). All of the accommodations that were booked for us were beautiful and the tours/tour guides were informative, friendly, and engaging. We would definitely book through Rough Guides again, and would highly recommend the tour agency.”

She gave great insights, provided really exceptional lodging options, and coordinated our entire trip seamlessly. Anytime I had a question or concern, Yulia responded quickly and provided me with detailed information. The process of working with RoughGuides was actually pretty simple, and I will be using them again in the future for planning another vacation. As for beautiful Greece, we will definitely be back, and will be using Yulia at Somewhere We Know again for all our Greek adventure needs!”

19/04/2025“Our week in Athens and Crete last week could not have gone more perfectly. I usually enjoy planning my family travels. I feel like beginning the planning is like starting the trip. With a very limited time period and the wanting to accommodate the needs of teenaged grandchildren and grandparents in our eighties, I felt there was no room for error. Working closely with Julia produced an exciting, comprehensive experience none of us will ever forget. Our expectations and needs were fulfilled, under the guidance of Julia’s patient, kind expertise.”

Our driver, Marios was well informed, thoughtful and responded to unplanned events like a major strike across Greece on our first day with aplomb. We had a really great trip, which Antonis spent time personalising to our tastes, interests and budget. Couldn't ask for a better experience”
