Hidden Gem!

Steven_R, May 2026

Definitely one of the hidden gem tours from Athens! Our tour guide Harry was very accommodating and knowledgeable which makes for good conversation on the commutes.

Monemvasia, Corinth and Sparta-a great trifecta!

wgdcpatx, Apr 2026

This was a very long day but so totally worth the time. George was our driver and a great ambassador for Greece. When we asked if we could see the sites of ancient Corinth from Biblical times he was glad to add that to our trip. That was a highlight to us! Sparta and the Olive museum were quaint and a nice break on the drive. But the real highlight was the trek to visit Monemvasia. This ancient town was so worth the drive. This is a great tour to see a lot of southern Greece!

Avoid this company, terrible service.

Find a tour operator that cares more about their customers. The night before this tour was set to begin, the manager messaged (no call, I didn't see the message until hours later) me and says there could be delays to due farmers strikes. I didn't know what that was at the time so I wasn't too worried. Until I was stuck on another tour, waiting in traffic for hours where people literally had to exit their vehicles to relieve themselves. This obviously is not the fault of the tour operator but I messaged them again asking if we should cancel, they said it should be fine. I then discussed with locals and other tourists who explained the issues they faced and it sounded like a nightmare for a tourist. So the morning of, I said I didn't feel comfortable with proceeding but the driver showed up anyway and the manager refused to cancel and refund or reschedule the trip. The driver was incredibly nice and patient and this doesn't reflect him at all. The company itself should be more flexible with their customers. They're dealing with people in foreign environments and comfort matters. Given what I was told by others (multiple locals, drivers, operators) and my own experiences, I didn't think it was advisable but they disagreed. They are the experts so I'm sure they are right but their information came from local police and the police were the ones blocking the roads so I find that to be unreliable information. If they had given me more notice, perhaps I would have canceled within their refund window but they themselves didn't tell me the tour was going to be delayed until that window closed anyway, that should go both ways and if something unexpected like this happens, there should flexibility on both sides. I could have done the tour another day, accepted a partial refund or anything but they did not work with me at all. We're talking about protests and police road blocks being added to an already full day tour. So again, I would look elsewhere or just rent a car. Viator has requested a refund for the second time so we'll see if they make it right but until then, I feel I must warn other travelers. The company will probably respond saying they showed up and waited and it was outside of the refund window (all true) but again, things changed, new factors were introduced and this is a customer service business. I'm sure this tour would have been great given my messages with the driver but don't expect any support or kindness from the management.

Thank your for taking the time to write this review as it can be used as an example for other guests. We informed you about possible delay the minute that was announced that there will be a detour on your route. We monitor each tour ( route ) carefully and we immediately talked with the police department responsible. They advised a delay of about 5-10 minutes as it was only a 2 mile detour. We explained to you the situation and just to be sure we informed of a maximum 30 minutes delay in total. You confirmed but on the morning of tour date at about 07:20 just 40 minutes before tour you sent us an email saying you are not comfortable and not to proceed. Our driver was on his way as we start about 1 hour before just to be sure we will be there on time no matter what. You advised us that you talked with other tourists and said to you that the delay was going to be way more. Our driver was waiting there for 2 hours trying to make you understand that all was going to work out well and that would be a pity not to take the tour . Please trust our advice as we are doing this every day and we would never put one of our guests in a position like that. Thank you and we wish you a great stay in Athens. Always at your service.

A lovely day in the heart of the Peloponnese!

Shakir_B, Jan 2026

The trip was wonderful! Theo was amazing! He picked us up right from our doorstep on time with a big smile and big heart! We had great conversations on the road on politics, history, cultural and many other topics which was great. On top of his description, he prepared a two-page info sheets to read before each site which we found very helpful. He was very attentive, accommodating and went way and beyond to make us comfortable. We are a family of 4, with two kids 14 and 8. We all enjoyed the trip very much. Highly recommended.

Harry was a fantastic tour guide, endless information about the area and history. Sparta, olive museum and Fortress was just ola kala. The food, atmosphere of the small town and locals was an amazing experience.

Perfect 💗

Shannon_B, Jun 2024

This tour was so relaxing. Private car was so comfortable. Nathaniel allowed for time to do some quick shopping and bathroom breaks. Sparta was very cool, the museum was lively, small and no queues. The Olive museum was excellent and so informative. Finallly, monemvasia was spectacular. We had private time to have lunch, explore and shop. The tour guide is an amazing and knowledgeable young person. We had an amazing time. Thank you for offering such a wonderful experience 💗

Harry was fantastic driver, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. Sparta was a cool little town.Views at Monemvasia were picturesque. The whole drive was beautiful. It was a long day but 100% worth it.
