Default Granite tile countertop questions

I am considering granite tile countertop in my kitchen renovation using
12x12 tiles. I have some questions for those that have installed this.
I have researched this and I believe I know everything that needs to be
done but I have never installed any kind of tile before. When the
counter is finished should the tops be smooth and seamless along the
grout lines? How hard is it to get the surfaces to be exactly flat and
exactly the same elevation to the adjacent tiles? I want to have as
seamless and flat a surface as possible without having to get a slab.
Is this unreasonable for these kind of counters? Any tips for laying
the tiles consistently so that I can achieve this? If you have done
this is there anything you would have done differently?
Thanks for any info.

Charles
