    This was a well paced tour by a knowledgeable local guide. Exactly what we wanted for a tour of the acropolis and its museum.

    Acropolis Hill and Parthenon = amazing. Loved seeing guards too. Guides very friendly and knowledgeable. Having a tour with a guide puts the history of the city into context.

    This was a brilliant trip! The tour guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable - she really tied together the architectural site and the contents of the museum, and was a great storyteller! I would definitely recommend this trip!!

    Manos our guide was excellent knowledgeable, helpful and so friendly. We travel extensively and will not hesitate to say that this was the best personalised tour we have had. Also a mention of the new tour bus which is super clean and comfortable. Fantastic tour and the best tour guide.

    Our tour with Demos was fantastic. Demos was very knowledgeable, funny, enthusiastic and professional. The difficult climb to Acropolis was made much easier due to Demos’s skillful ability to know when and where to stop for rest and discussion. Loved everything about this tour

    Well organised, good value, guide and driver both lovely. Picked up on time as arranged. Destination well worth visiting. I've only given 4 out of 5 as the weather was a bit cloudy so we had a poor sunset. But it is January.

    Our tour to Delphi from Athens was a great day out! Driving along through the countryside while our guide tells stories about the ancient times and what would be happening in these areas. Delphi was a beautiful place to see and explore, again with wonderful information being provided to us throughout the whole trip.

    Vicky was our guide of the Acropolis and the ancient agora and she was excellent. Very detailed knowledge of Greek mythology (she knows her gods, Demi-gods, who bore whom, and what each of them represents). But also excellent knowledge of the Acropolis and the different areas of the Acropolis and the ancient Agora. Vicky is fun and funny and likes to laugh and tells the history with easy-to-understand stories. A real story-teller! Go on a tour, but make sure it is Vicky that is leading it.

    This was an excellent day trip. The long drive was worth it, not only for the destination (Delphi), but also for the experience of leaving the city of Athens and seeing more of the locality and countryside. Our driver, Pericles, was a very good driver and his Mercedes van (a 9 seater I believe) was comfortable. Pericles explained some of the sights and geography along the way and kept us apprised of when the next rest would be and how much longer we had to drive. He was eager to answer questions that we asked. When we arrived at Delphi, Georgia was there to greet us as our guide in the museum and as we walked the site. But first, the approach to Delphi was stunning on this remarkably warm and bright January day and Delphi literally sparkled on the side of the mountain and the spring growth on the hillside was the most verdant green. Georgia was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the history of the site and the very interesting people/gods who were instrumental in building Delphi and how a strong community continued there for centuries. So much history! I’ll admit this: it’s a lot more history that I can retain! A day trip like this is long but because we were staying in Athens for six days, we felt that it was well worth the time, effort, and cost. The experience exceeded our hopes, as did Pericles and Georgia as our hosts!

    Alex was our driver for this tour and we were so pleased. He was proactive and attentive to our needs as one in our party suffers from vertigo. The drive was smooth and he delivered wonderfully commentary about Athens and our intended destinations. His command of the English language is amazing and he is very professional, but also personable.

    Ms. Patti was our guide to the sites at Epidaurus and Mycenae and was wonderfully informative. We felt that we had enough time at the different locations.

    We were able to have a nice lunch in Nafplio and walk about a bit. It's a place we would definitely visit again. The day did not feel rushed at all. Alex did a great job with the timing and on the way back we were treated to more beautiful views. We would definitely recommend this tour and hope that you get Alex as a driver!
