The tour covered the highlights of ancient Greece traveling in a comfortable van. The hotels including breakfasts were excellent particularly in Nafplio. We added guides in 4 of the sites and it was money well spent. Knowledgeable guides gave a thorough explanation at the level of a college professor. Lastly our driver/guide was Petros Jajas who is really a walking encyclopedia of Greek history. On top of that very helpful and accommodating considering our group was all Seniors. Overall a great experience that we can highly recommend.

The itinerary was excellent, however, the quality of the excursion is dependent upon the willingness or not of the driver to provide at least a big picture overview of the sites to be visited. Ours provided little to none. Also general questions about the areas we were visiting were generally answered with a response of “I have no idea” or “I don’t know”. To us this was unacceptable behavior and resulted in an excursion that although well thought out by Viator, was not very well executed by the “driver”. One other suggestion to Viator, the selected hotels were of good quality, however we would have preferred to have a hotel located within the city limits to enable easy walking access to restaurants and local merchants rather than to be located well outside the city away from local pedestrian activities.

Dear Charles,
After a careful review we agree that our driver had not met the minimum standards necessary, and in fact fell well short. As standard, all driver guides must be able to elaborate full and detailed history on all of the sites and locations visited. Consequently, he has now left our service and we apologize that your tour which was well planned and of high quality in the locations and accommodation was let down here. Similarly, we were let down also. Our policy is one where if a high level of service is not met, then we will take action to ensure no repetition for future guests. In over a decade of similar tours we can say that this is the first time we have received negative comments for any of our driver-guides, and we assure you it is the last time. Again, we extend our sincere apologies and wish to thank you for bringing this to our attention to help us avoid any similar issue in the future.

First of all, Warm Penguin was an absolute delight to work with. From the time we booked, they were amazingly prompt with replies to inquiries, and very accurate with clear and detailed information.
As for the tour itself, we knew from the moment we met our driver, Yannis, at the airport, that we were in for a fantastic four days with him. He treated us more like visiting family from out of town than clients, He speaks English well, and is very knowledgeable, entertaining, and has a terrific sense of humor, making conversations easy and laughter frequent. He made sure we made each stop on the itinerary, but gave us the flexibility to customize start and end times to our liking, as well as making suggestions for a few little extra surprises along the way. He would drive us from town to town, where a different local tour guide would take over to tour the archeological sites in each different city. Each of these guides were top-notch as well. Not a single disappointment in the whole trip.
We also loved each of our more boutique-style guest house accommodations, with some amazing homemade breakfasts, and every day was fantastic fresh seafood lunch at a restaurant usually on the water with seaside views. Yannis also had terrific recommendations for dinner in each town, and we didn't have a single disappointing meal.
Our entire family loved this tour, and would recommend it without reservation.

We toured the mainland for 4 days with two families of 5. The van was very nice, clean, and comfortable. The hotels we stayed at were nice. All had swimming pools and free breakfast. We were able to see a variety of amazing historical sites and the tour guides at each were interesting and knowledgeable. Our driver for the 4 days, Vas, was beyond amazing. He was fun, personable, and very knowledgeable on many topics. He would allow us to stop at places that weren't officially planned. We enjoyed his take on Greek life as one who lives there. We even invited him our dinners while we were there. Overall, an excellent trip!

This was truly the most amazing tour we have ever been on 19 countries and counting. Yes, it is pricey, but it is worth every single penny. Our tour guide, Notis, was kind, generous, attentive, flexible, intelligent, well-spoken, and educated. He was professional and caring. He treated our children as if they were his own and my girls cried at the end of the trip when he had to leave us.
We saw the most beautiful sites and Notis added in a few things sunset over Meteora, ice cream rolls from a local shop, etc. that made the trip even better. He was knowledgable about local restaurants in every town and knew where to take us to eat wonderful Greek food. If you take this tour, you should ask for him if you can get him. His full name is Anagnostis Tsipros.
We saw Olympia, Corinth, Meteora, Nafplio, Epidavros, Delphi, and Mycenae. The hotels were charming be warned that the Meteoritis Hotel in Meteora does NOT have an elevator, nor a bellman to help haul the luggage up the stairs - but the view was SO worth it! and the experience is altogether a phenomenal one. Be prepared to lay out money for tips and meals, as they are not included in the price. The ride we had a VW Passat was comfortable and we stopped as often as we needed or wanted to.
We stayed at the Nidimos Hotel in Delphi my favorite town. If you stay in the front rooms, you will have a spectacular view, but you may have some street noise very small street, at any rate. The back rooms overlook an attractive courtyard with wall art - very quiet.
In Olympia, we stayed at the Arty Grand Hotel. We had high hopes for this one, as it was the only one that had an indoor pool, but the pool was closed. There was no explanation as to why. The rest of the hotel was fine, though. Hotels vary on this tour - you may not get the same ones we got, but we sure did like them all.
The only drawback we had was that Notis could not enter the historical sites with us - you have to arrange for different site guide for each area, which we did not do. Apparently, one has to be licensed to give a tour of historical sites and the drivers are not. This being said, Notis knew enough about each site that he told us about them, and any tips he had to offer, beforehand. Given the plethora of signage, we did not really need tour guides for the sites, but it would have been nice to know that beforehand.
Bring your walking shoes - there is a LOT of walking and much of it is uphill. Greece is a mountainous country and many sites are at the top of mountains. We averaged between 10,000 and 11,000 steps per day.
Pros:
excellent tour guide
nice hotels
wonderful sites
low stress
cons:
tour driver cannot enter sites

Viajamos con mi esposa, y nuestro guía Petros. Es difícil elegir momentos. Todo el tour fue extraordidnario. Los lugares arqueológicos, los museos, los hoteles, la comida. Si tengo que elegir me conmovieron los sitio arqueológicos de Olympia y Delfos. Nafplio es un pueblos bellísimo. Una mención aparte para nuestro excelente guía. Siempre nos proveía información interesante que enriquecía la experiencia en cada lugar. Muy comunicativo y atento a todos los detalles, de principio a fin. Si van a hacer este tour u otro traten de ekegir a Petros como guía. No se van a arrepentir
