Testimonial from Fellow Tour Director
Chris Pappas: The Complete Package
I know the subject line seems like a bit much, but it is the best way to describe what it was like working with Chris. I have worked for over 30 years as a tour director and have been part of teams of up to 10 TDs. Over the years, I have come to specialize in difficult programs and unusual clients.
Rarely have I come across a tour director that was a perfect fit for the job. Chris is able to both lead and be a team player. He is bright, articulate, compassionate, and, importantly, quick on his feet and adaptable. He seemed to know instinctively what to do, when to do it, and make it all seem natural and effortless. I believe that Chris would have no problem handling whatever a program or client might require regardless of the scope. He really is the complete package.
I would happily work with him anytime, anywhere.

Chris is a joyful and extremely hard working person. He made us feel comfortable and at ease, and was exceptional in every possible way. Could we arrange for him to guide all our trips for the rest of our lives??? Even when he broke bad news, he made us all laugh and look forward to the change of plans. He is an absolute treasure.
