Exceeds Expectations!

Adriane_N, Jul 2025

This tour exceeded our expectations. Our driver, Jimmy, was so knowledgeable, and really brought the history of the area to life for us. Mystras was extensive and beautiful. We also had a wonderful lunch at a local place. We had a few other stops (Corinth Canal, a small museum in Sparta and Corinth?). Such a pleasant day. Anyone who gets to this tour, and especially with Jimmy, is lucky indeed.

Response from Host, Jul 2025
