We went on a cultural trip to Crete in March. There were lots of irritants but my main complaint was about the high pressurised selling at the carpet/leather/jewellery factories. In particular the jewellery factory I had to keep saying no for 20 minutes by the sales person & her manager. Each visit was a minimum of 2 hours with the exits carefully concealed. The guide was very knowledgeable but he also majored on the fact that our trip was being subsidised by the Greek government so tourist would spend in local industries. Needless to say this was not mentioned. The first hotel and staff was excellent but the second one - the staff were rude both at the desk and in the restaurant and were vert unhelpful. I did write an extensive feedback form and sent it to the company to get a very bland letter saying very little of substance. Won't ever travel with this company again.
