What are people saying about Greece

Janice_L, Sept 2026

Great tour!

So happy we did this tour! It was nice to see the countryside of Greece away from Athens. The mountain scenery was amazing! The ruins and the museum were also wonderful! It was a long day- it takes a full day to do this tour and we were tired at the end, but felt it was well worth it for the adventure of the day! Our driver Soterious was excellent over very challenging terrain and our tour guide Lilly helped orient us with good information in advance of arriving the site and looked after lunch arrangements which were very enjoyable. We had a different guide at the museum and on site for site specific information and he really went in depth and gave the exhibits meaning. It was a great day and we would recommend it!

Janice_C, Sept 2026

An excellent tour which...

An excellent tour which gave us a really good introduction to Naxos as we were limited to just a few days on this beautiful island. We plan to come back to visit again but stay for longer! Our guide was superb. Very knowledgeable and clear in her explanations and very friendly and approachable too as was our driver.

Milos by sea!

The crew and experience was terrific. The views of Milos by the sea is a must. We also did a land tour, and while lovely, it couldn’t compare to the sea sights. The landscape, the clarity of the blue sea and the exceptional crew made everything a memorable experience. Special thanks to Emilio, Andries and Johnny, who helped make the cruise both fun and informative!

Full Day Boat Cruise to 3 Islands with optional pickup

Alex_R, Sept 2026

Worthwhile trip

You spend a lot of time on the boat as opposed to the islands but that's just to get so much in in one day. Swift lunch at first island, quick swim at the second and then an hour and a bit at the final small island. Even seen some dolphins which were incredible! Really good value for money too

Full-Day Boat Tour of Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves from Corfu

Matt_B, Sept 2026

A truly excellent boat trip.

This was really excellent value for money! We spent about 6 hours in the boat, 2 hours in Paxos and an hour for the swim on Antipaxos, which was just amazing. We could dive off the back of a neighbouring boat. On the way back there was an unexpected party when our boat hooked up to the DJ on another boat, again a brilliant thing to do. The guiding was in several languages and the guide was very nice and friendly, as were all the staff. I would really recommend this tour.

Mary was absolutely...

Mary was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she made us feel like family. She was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing experience. Her personality and kindness made the tour even more special. We laughed, learned so much, and made memories we’ll always cherish. Thank you, Mary, for treating us like family and making our experience unforgettable! ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Marianne_B, Jun 2026

Great tour

This was a great trip. Alex was a great guide and our bus driver was excellent to. It was a nice, new bus that was comfortable. It was nice to take a break in Nafplio and eat and not have to walk as the Mycenae and Epidarius stops have lots of walking...uphill! But worth it! After walking all over Athens the day before, it was nice to ride for the day and have moments of walking. They even stopped at Corinth canal which I was super happy about.

Great day seeing a lot of amazing historical sites

We had a wonderful day exploring with our very knowledgeable and kind guide. We saw everything we wanted and more! For older travelers, I would not do this tour the day after you go to the Athens Acropolis, since they both involve quite a bit of uphill walking. Our guide tailored our tour based on our needs. He was extremely flexible.

Beautiful views

We were on a 6 hour tour with Sara who was a wonderful tour guide! She asked us what we wanted to see while in Santorini, so of course we said the views. Sara knew all of the best places for gorgeous views! We saw Fira, Oia, and some smaller local villages. We also had lunch at a local restaurant at the black sand beach which was delicious, especially the fresh fish.

Athens & Acropolis Highlights - Archaeologist Led Private Tour

Cathy_B, Oct 2025

Great way to see Athens and Sounion in a day

We had one full day to see all the important sites in Athens and this was the way to go! Andreas was professional, interesting, educated, and we got a real sense of day to day life in Athens, not to mention a good historical perspective. He drove safely in a beautiful comfortable car, stopped for lunch at a place he spent his youth near, and was prompt and responsive to any other questions or times we wanted to stop for a viewpoint. I misunderstood the quality and dollar amount "stipend" that lunch included, I would have tried more things on the menu. Also it appeared that this was a place that a bus tour could and did stop, and we would have appreciated and paid for something more private and upscale. Nevertheless, it was a great sunny day and wonderful way to see Athens. Good communication before the excursion also, which always helps. Would recommend!

The experience was great....

The experience was great. The pottery making was very interesting. I climbed the Acroplolis with 2 others and it was amazing. I wish I had a little more time in lindos to go around and relax. Could of spent less time with the honey and wine tasting. Overall is a great experience
