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!!

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!

We had the most exceptional travel experience with Personality Journeys. Both our travel agent and out travel guide (“skipper”) were fantastic! Dimitris was everything we could have looked for in a travel agent. Following the parameters we laid out for him, he provided us with the absolute best options for our travels. He was both honest and patient with us, and made sure we took as much time as we needed to finalize a trip that felt right for our group. Dimitris informed us on everything that was going on throughout our booking and travel process, so there were no surprises along the way. He answered every question we had and made sure we were prepared when we arrived in Athens. Andreas went above and beyond in his role as our skipper for the week. He was patient and thoughtful with our group, and put so much effort into making sure we had the best trip possible. We felt very safe and protected throughout all of our travels, and were taken to some of the most incredible place – places that weren’t even on our initial itinerary. Andreas’ expertise in his craft and his companionate demeanor are the reasons our trip was as fantastic as it was. He exceeded all of our expectations and genuinely made this trip one of the best of our lives. Thank you, Dimitris and Andreas, for giving us a week we will never forget! We can honestly say we would not have had the same experience if it wasn't for all of your help and consideration.
