Fisher, WV,2005 Hi Matt, My husband & I are just back from our OPA tour of Greece with Joyce & Nanda. We had a fantastic time. Joyce & Nanda are a delight. We had 3 additional nights on our own in Athens and stayed at the Attalos. It's a great place......very clean & comfortable, helpful staff and a good breakfast. Our room was quiet, had a balcony with an Acropolis view.........and the price was right! Thanks also for the map. It was very helpful as was your web site. Efharisto. Yassou! Margaret Quist Matt Barett, Dear Sir; While looking for a suitable tour of Greece, we came across your website and followed one of your recommendations - OPATOURS. Thank you very much. We took the tour entitiled "Olympian" in late September-early October this year and were completely pleased. As you know the tour is run by a pair of women who superbly match talents to provide a truly enjoyable experience. They keep the numbers low so that they are able to give everyone individual attention and even vary the tour slightly to meet special requests. The Greek half of the partnership was a terrific guide - providing historical, archaeological, social, and political commentary to make the tour a wonderfullyenriching experience. Joyce Helfand, the American half, brought her love and knowledge of the country and succeeded in creating a whole new group of Hellenophiles. There were several "repeat" participants and we'll most likely take OPATOURS some time in the near future. Don't hesitate to continue to recommend this company on your excellent website. We certainly will recommend it to our friends. Thanks again, Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth Gibbons
“Of the many trips we have taken around the world, this has our highest recommendation. For an outstanding tour that delivers much more than it promises, this one cannot be beat.” Dr. & Mrs. William Letcher Placerville , CA , March 1990
“We visited the important archaeological and historical sites and also became acquainted with contemporary Greece . Tour coordinator Joyce Helfand and tour manager Nanda Kontopoulos are informed and knowledgeable and pass on their enthusiasm to everyone.” Jane Oberholzer Walnut Creek, CA , June 1992
“It was the most delightful of all the ten tours we have taken in the past five years. OPA is what travel was meant to be: educational and great fun.” Douglas Wilson West Palm Beach, FL , April 1993
“The tour veered off popular tourist paths at times and afforded us a glimpse of the natural beauty of Greece, of the way of life today, and an emotional excitement. We expected a great deal, and we weren’t disappointed.” Mr. & Mrs. Martin Lave Indianapolis , IN , June 1994
“It was the consensus of our group (with most having extensive travel experience) that this tour was outstanding in quality of programming and presentation.” Mr. & Mrs. Stephen West Fisher, WV, May 1995
“Thank you a thousand times for making our trip to Greece the most perfect one we could imagine – and then some!” Mr. & Mrs. John Lyons San Francisco , CA , December 1996
“You can be sure that you and Nanda and Greece will remain among our most precious memories.” Mr. & Mrs. John Barnes Salem , SC , October 1998
“The itinerary for our trip was superbly planned – It is hard to imagine how they could do a better job. Maybe the most unique thing about OPA Tours Greece is that, not only is it extremely well run, but it is also exceptionally personal.” Stan Winter, Corona del Mar, CA, June 2000
“How do I count the ways….to tell you about the OPA Tours. Joyce and Nanda are very special professional, knowledgeable and dedicated tour leaders. They work diligently to provide the tours with the best of all facets that one wants in a tour – to see and become acquainted with the major places and also with the little byways that leave special lasting memories. They do this without overload. Time is provided to revisit an area, find places on your own, have a drink with your new friends, or relax at the hotel. They choose the best in the best locations – hotels, restaurants, sites. Their knowledge and connections open many special doors. Both women care about the people on the tour, and because of their own warm personalities are able to encourage friendships. They listen to individual members and their wishes and needs (even helping one woman find a long lost relative. Very exciting). One can easily understand why several members have joined Joyce and Nanda on more than one tour. Best of all, they know and love Greece, and you will leave loving it too, and will want to return.” Mr. & Mrs. Elliott Stonehill Washington, DC, August, 2001
“We’ve relived so many of our thoughts and feelings about Greece and our trip there. We feel so fortunate to have been able to make the trip and to have used your tour company. You both have such a wealth of knowledge and were so willing to share it.” Mr. & Mrs. Luther Gillon Concord, N.C. September, 2001
“It was absolutely incredible! I have never much been interested in tours before, as I felt they would be too restricting and I wanted to have the freedom to explore on my own. But I finally decided that going with a group would be better than on my own, and I had heard great things about OPA Tours Greece. Well, I was not only not disappointed. I was extremely pleased. I would go again with them in a minute! Anne Sirota Los Angeles, CA, January, 2002
