Alissa_V, Aug 2026

Our group enjoyed the experience!

Excellent communication, small group. Our guide was excellent: talked about history, metrology, and answered our questions. The tour was easygoing, with great timing to beat the crowd at the locations visited. Excellent choice if you want a small-group, personal experience without the hustle.

Delphi Guided Small Group Day Tour from Athens

Robert_R, Aug 2026

Delphi day trip

Good way to see Delphi from Athens for the day .comfortable mini bus transfer with guide who was very knowledgeable plus local guide when at Delphi who was an expert on the site and museum .More time at Delphi would help 30 minutes more as there is the site and museum but still great tour run on a tight schedule. Finishes off with lunch at local restaurant then drive back

The monasteries

We had an amazing time! The monasteries were beautiful and the views were breathtaking! This was one of the highlights of our trip! Our bus driver and tour guide were both wonderful! I must admit, that the food was not great if you choose the lunch option. I highly recommend that you bring plenty of snacks, and water! It’s an extremely long day! I highly recommend this tour!

An Unforgettable Adventure

This was a FANTASTIC and FUN way to see Athens! Our tour guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and fun! He showed us parts of the city on bike that we would never have experienced on foot or by car, and taught us so many interesting things about Athens, present and past, including the right way to order a Fredo Cappuccino! I HIGHLY recommend this experience!

Athens Day Cruise: 3 Islands Tour in the Saronic Gulf with Lunch

Amanda_R, Aug 2026

Faultless service and breathtaking views

This Cruise exceeded my expectations. The vessel was beautiful and charming. There’s plenty of comfortable seats for everyone to chill. The staff was very friendly accommodating, and seem to anticipate our needs most notable is Faye Dimitri, and the gentleman who was always in charge of putting the anchor down the sites were beautiful with the chemistry and genuine care from the crew is what documented the entire event. The food was so delicious for the price for this event, I can’t believe the quality and variety of food and drink that we where offered thank you to all members and the captain.

Athens Greece Full Day private tour

Donna_K, Aug 2026

Great Day in Athens!

Our family of four spent an entire day in Athens with Panos who was our driver and guide for our private tour. We had a wonderful day and saw all the sights on our "must see" list before we departed the following day for our cruise. Panos was a fantastic driver and tour guide. Would highly recommend!

Athens Full Day Private Tour

Heena_P, Aug 2026

An Unforgettable Journey Through the Heart of Ancient Athens

Our full-day private tour of Athens exceeded every expectation and was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Greece. While Athens itself is extraordinary, it was our driver, Aris, and our guide, Vasso, who transformed a sightseeing tour into an unforgettable experience. Aris was a phenomenal driver, navigating the busy streets of Athens with ease while making us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the day. What truly set him apart, however, was his kindness and authenticity. He shared personal stories about his life and Greece that allowed us to connect with him on a much deeper level. By the end of the tour, he felt more like a friend than a driver. Vasso was equally incredible. Her passion for Greek history, mythology, and archaeology was evident from the moment we met her. She isn’t someone who simply recites facts—she is an exceptional storyteller who brought every site to life. Standing atop the Acropolis, listening to her explain the significance of the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Propylaea, it felt as though ancient Athens had come alive around us. Her ability to weave together history, mythology, politics, and daily life made every stop fascinating. The itinerary was perfectly paced and included so many iconic locations. From the breathtaking views atop Mount Lycabettus, to walking through the Ancient Agora—the birthplace of democracy and philosophy—to witnessing the Changing of the Guard at Syntagma Square, every stop added another layer to our understanding of Athens. We also appreciated driving past landmarks like the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Panathenaic Stadium, the Academy, University, and National Library before exploring the charming streets of Plaka. Lunch in the traditional neighborhood of Koukaki was another highlight. The authentic Greek food was delicious, and the restaurant did an excellent job accommodating our dietary needs, ensuring my vegetarian husband had wonderful options without compromising the experience. If you’re considering a tour of Athens, don’t hesitate to book this one. The sites themselves are extraordinary, but having guides like Aris and Vasso—who are knowledgeable, engaging, courteous, and genuinely passionate about sharing their country—makes all the difference. They didn’t just show us Athens; they helped us understand why this city continues to shape the world thousands of years later. This tour deserves every one of its five stars.

Historical Delphi One Day Tour with Arachova Stop & Expert Guide

Ameya_S, Jul 2026

Best Delphi Tour in Athens

It was an amazing experience. The guide Stavros was the best guide I have ever experienced. Had such calming tone and way of describing things. He was very knowledgable and thorough, and a GREAT storyteller. I and my 13 year old son were fascinated by all the stories he had to tell along the way in the bus and at the Delphi site. The tour itself was amazing. Definitely worth the visit. The bus was comfortable, the driver Vasilis was very friendly, the guide as I mentioned was the best, the Delhi site is SIMPLY MAJESTIC! To top it off, on our return, we stop at a small very beautiful city/village for our lunch. Very picturesque! Enjoyed every bit of the whole tour.

Athens: Meteora Monasteries Tour, Caves, Beachfront Stops & Lunch

Anastasios_K, Jul 2026

Must see! You won't regret it!

It's simply a must see/do in Greece. You won't regret it. My wife and teenage kids were complaining about how long the day was going to be for a visit from Athens (literally form 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.). They were so happy they did it. Pictures of Meteora do no justice. You have to experience it to believe it. No disrespect to the Acropolis, but if you can only see 1 place, it should be Meteora.
