Crafting Unforgettable Greece Trips

Maureen in Santorini
Maureen in Santorini

My name is Maureen Johnson, and I am a seasoned travel agent with over 15 years of experience at AMT Travel. Greece is my specialty and my deep personal connection - a fascination that was first sparked by my grandfather's Greek heritage.


My love for Greece's ancient history, mythology, and culture is woven into every custom travel itinerary I design for my clients. I've visited the destination multiple times, with my most recent trip being in June 2024. This firsthand familiarity allows me to craft truly unique experiences that go beyond the typical tourist path.


One of my favorite aspects of Greece is the captivating blend of ancient sites and ruins with the modern island resort lifestyle. I delight in immersing my clients in this duality - whether it's arranging a foodie tour that combines history and gastronomy or finding the best vantage points to admire the iconic Acropolis. My deep knowledge of the mainland and over 200 inhabited Greek islands enables me to skillfully balance itineraries that showcase the country's full breadth.


My clients consistently rave about the accessibility of Greece's historic sites, the friendly English-speaking locals, the rich cultural pride, and of course, the incredible cuisine. My ability to cater to a wide range of interests, from theater buffs to beach bums, is a testament to my versatility as a travel planner.


Ultimately, my passion for Greece, my extensive expertise, and my talent for crafting unforgettable customized journeys make me an invaluable asset to the AMT Travel team. My clients return time and again, knowing they'll receive a travel experience that truly brings the magic of Greece to life.

Saved my Ireland Trip!
Maureen at AMT really helped me plan my trip to Ireland for myself, husband and in Laws. I was crazy enough to insist that I would rather drive in Ireland than pay the high cost of a private chauffer. And when my father in law dropped the bomb that his drivers license expired, making him unable to drive the manual transmission van only 3 hours before we landed in Ireland, a quick email to Maureen saved the day. She canceled our van and rebooked two automatic cars (which is apparently rare in Ireland) so that my brother in law could drive one and I the other. By the time we landed at the airport, the cars were there, correctly booked, and the money for the van had already been refunded to my credit card. WOW. Then when the London air traffic control CANCELED our flights home for a full day, she helped us book a hotel for the night, and helped us file an insurance claim to cover the cost. Even for the most experienced traveler, she is an invaluable resource.

Dear Georgia, thank you for the kind words. Since that fateful trip you have used my services for travel planning instead of travel rescuing. We make a great team and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Leave your worries at home!
My wife and I have been working with Maureen now since 2015 when we started planning our first European vacation. After dealing with the frustration of trying to book it ourselves, we happened across an American Express travel website. The site was open to non-card members so we elected the country we wanted to visit and were given four agents to reach out to. We decided on Maureen and have never looked back. Maureen made the experience very easy for us since, at the time, we were both working full time. We were sent a short questionnaire which helped her to focus on what worked best for our time, destinations, budget, etc. Our trip was to travel the Northern coast of Spain in a car over a two week period. Maureen and her team handled all the details seamlessly, from the car, to the hotels, to the sites she recommended in each of the five cities we touched. We still talk about that trip! We recommend her to our friends and family constantly.

My New Favorite Place!
Maureen worked with our group of six to arrange THE BEST experience! She was able to accommodate all our collective needs while ensuring each individual was listened to. We explored the glorious Scottish Highlands from our home base in Inverness and ended in the majestic and magical city of Edinburgh. I don't think Maureen could have done any better in organizing this diverse experience.

Thanks Julie! You were all so gracious. I had as much fun putting this trip together as you did experiencing it.

We Love Greece!
We flew Business Class on British Airways. Our new terrific airline. Our first stop after two days in Germany was Santorini. Great hotel with just 25 rooms. Our jacuzzi was heated up to 84 F degrees to make up for the pool temperature. All of the pools were really cold on our trip. We both swam in the Aegean. Very cold, but no sharks because they don't like cold water. The ferry ride to Crete was total chaos, but we learned to get a boarding pass at the ferry office. The ferry to Naxos was easy because most tourist don't go there. All of Maureen's tours on each island were great as usual. The front of line ticket that she arranged for us saved us at the Acropolis waiting in a two block long line!
