Everything about the tour was amazing. The crew members & tour leaders were so friendly and helpful. I loved the fact that we had a pirate ship! It really completed the Mediterranean life. I talked to random people on nights and after exchanging our experiences, I was pleased to find out ours was much cheaper and overall more enjoyable. 100% recommending Travel Talk to my friends, family and other randoms I meet out!
