We took our chances and visited Greece from our UK work base in August 2020. We are a couple with our 2 grown-up girls wanting to see Greece from a local's point of view. Touring with a guide from a travel agency was not our first option but having been introduced by our American friends to Eudaimonia Private Tours things turned out to be better than expected. Having seen Athens before, we were picked up from the airport and drove to explore and spend 7 nights in the Peloponnese region. Nikos, our driver, guide, and his agency had already introduced us to the tour itinerary but after the first day, he had our full approval to suggest and adjust as he pleased. He knew all about us and what we enjoy most. He was the one that "forced" us to avoid Athens all together although we initially had in mind to spend a night just to recover from flying. Every day was a new experience that was a unique mix of culture, landscape, food & drink, and amazing overnight locations & accommodation, each one with a special vibe. There were several "special moments" during our exploring but our guide politely asked us to keep to ourselves since they are not to be taken for granted by people reading our review. The minivan we used for exploring was perfect. A spotless, brand new vehicle. Nikos' not slow or time-wasting but safe driving, made us feel very relaxed. Elaborating about safety will be boring but in short, our guide showed us the way to do the obvious and logical things to stay out of trouble. A private tour to remember and a guide to highly recommend. Thanks again for keeping our difficult-to-please kids happy!

I had a terrific trip touring Mystras, Sparta, Delphi, Meteora, and Thermopylae with my guide Nikos! Nikos put together a custom itinerary with places in Greece that I had not yet visited. The highlight of my trip was visiting the clifftop monasteries at Meteora. We had marvelous weather for picture taking, and Nikos, knew where the best spots were. Hiking up several of the monasteries was also a unique experiences, and Nikos knew the best ones suitable for me. An AWESOME trip!!

It is a trip that seeks not only to offer information and knowledge, but also to stimulate the imagination by immersing the visitor in the very same environment that are described by ancient legends and histories. But there's more than that. Just like in all of our holidays, you will meet the true Greek way of living and we will try to introduce you the true Greece in a way that only locals can do.

It was a great tour to the classical hotsots of Greece. Due to Corona on all visited sites were only a few tourists what I never had before. The hotels were at nice places in walking distance to the city center, so that we could enjoy Greece evening life easily. Our driver did a great job and had always interesting stories about ancient history and modern Greece to tell during our journey - thank you for this experience Yanis!
