Private Athens tour

A full day of touring Athens with Andy as our private tour guide/driver was spectacular. Andy showed us all of the highlights of Athens and knew the best places to stop and take pictures of Athens. His knowledge of the Greek history and culture was amazing. This was a great way to see the city with an interesting and exceptional guide as Andy was. We ended the day at a local restaurant that Andy chose and was a great way to spend our first day.

Acropolis and Parthenon Guided Walking Tour

John_D, Oct 2026

Beyond our expectations - Well paced walk up the Acropolis!

We had an excellent guide to walk to the top of the Acropolis. She was very knowledgeable and communicated clearly and with some humor. As she promised, she took nicely spaced out breaks on the way to the top, taking advantage of shade and empty spaces to gather our group. We are two mature seniors and appreciated her attention to where everyone was in the group and the thoughtful pace she maintained for everyone. It was truly a wonderful experience.

I received a warning the day before my much anticipated tour that it was not suitable for those with mobility issues. I fully expected to sit out the tour and join the group at the Museum at the end. The guide made it so interesting I kept persisting and with his help and that of a number of group members reaching out their hands and arms I had a great trip. Many thanks to all for the compassion involved.

Great Acropolis and Museum Tour

John the Archeologist was such a fantastic tour guide. We learned so much about the Acropolis. He leads a great tour. It’s tiring to hike up to the top, but John took many stops along the way where we could sit and he taught us. Wear hiking shoes or good gym shoes. Hat and water are a must.

Meteora: Unforgettable

Meteora: Unforgettable ★★★★★ The monasteries on their sandstone pillars are even more stunning in person than in photos. We visited four, each with its own character, beautiful frescoes, and sweeping views. It's a long day with about five hours on the bus each way, but absolutely worth it. Our guide, Maria, was fantastic: knowledgeable, personable, and full of great stories. Wear comfortable shoes!

Nice experience at Delphi

This is a long day but worth doing the bus is comfortable and gets you there and under three hours with stops as necessary. The guide provides great info about the museum and then the actual ruins area and the brief stop on the way home for a meal or shopping is nice could’ve been a bit longer. We got back. It was about 11 hours but worth the time.
