A Day in Laconia

Tristan_M, Apr 2026

I had a great experience on this tour and seeing all of the sights. Giorgos was my guide and he was fantastic the entire time. He was very informative and accommodating, and was able to answer all of my questions. He went above and beyond in his service and I recommend this tour to anyone interested in Greek history and culture.

Would recommend spending your time elsewhere. The tour guide was very nice and seemed to know the history but overall a waste of time. Since the weather was getting poor, rain, I asked the guide for an updated schedule as soon as we got in the car- said there was no schedule. Second stop at the ruins was quick because of the rain and the rocks on the walk way were too slippery (he told us to stay there for two hours.. took us 30 mins). We still did the canal on the way. We started heading out of town after the ruins and as we left the guide said how the other planned site on the web page were a waste of time we will go else where. I stated I wanted to see them, that is why I signed up. He did a u-turn to go to the olive museum but we missed the next few. He drove us to the first town that was listed on this site and everything was closed; he was confused on where to go with the town closed and told us to walk around - we were confused where since it was raining and with the rough seas the path along the water was blocked. The guide started asked locals where we should go. The next town over had a place open to eat so we stopped in there. From there we basically went back home. All this driving took all day from 8am pick up and roughly 7pm drop off. Really just a waste of time and wish I had planned something else. The guide was nice but so difficult to understand as he faced forward driving and we were in the back seat. He also was a smoker and when walking would blow smoke which often ended up in our faces.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. The guide that you had that day is very experienced and has top reviews. I can understand your frustration since even though in Greece we have around 330 sunny days, the day of the tour was raining all day long. You said that you asked for an updated schedule. Our guide as he always wants to offer the greatest experience to his guests, he replied that there is no schedule, meaning that we can customize and not worry about time limits. Proving that by suggesting you to change the schedule and you said that you wanted to do the schedule exactly as described. So, from one hand you say that you wanted an updated schedule and on the other hand you did not want to change the schedule. So, as you declined the guide’s suggestion, you did the pre described schedule. You went to all the places of interest and visited even one more, which is not described, “Oitilo”. Another beautiful small town in Peloponnese that your guide wanted to show it to you. Our guide was never confused since he is very experienced and knows all these places since his family is from close by region. He just wanted to serve you best, especially when he asked you about lunch and you did not like most of his suggestions. You did not want to have lunch at the restaurants that he suggested, so he was on the search for more places that you would like. Finally, he found a place for souvlaki which you liked. We totally understand that weather plays a major role to every tour and that you were frustrated from that fact. We believe that you misjudged the tour by giving one star. Clearly, you were biased from bad weather. A piece of advice from us, since you give that much importance to weather, is to look the weather forecast some days before the tour date and if you think is going to be bad, to cancel.
