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!

We did the 1/2 day that included a visit to Olympia, Klio's Honey Farm and a quick trip to the beach. Our driver gave us some highlights to the island, but he really wasn't a tour guide, per se. When we got to Olympia, we did have a very good guidebook, as stated in the description of the trip, that allowed us to easily navigate Olympia at our pace. Immediately after our visit, we drove up to a honey farm. Klio showed us how they gather honey and we had a honey tasting with fresh made filo. Our driver then took us to a beach area where we spent a little bit of time. Since it was not warm, we just took some pictures and went back to the ship. Overall, it was a very reasonable way to get to Olympia and to visit a honey farm.

We took a private tour with Taz. The tour included Corinth Canal, ancient Corinth, Acrocorinth and Mycenae. Taz was amazing and tailored the tour to us throughout. He was extremely knowledgeable and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

My wife and I planned a trip to Greece (mainland and several Aegean islands) for May 2020. Niki was so responsive and helpful working with us by email and text to plan our itinerary and arranging private tours and a driver at many sites, both with Niki and several of her associates. Then the pandemic hit and we had to cancel our trip but Niki has stayed in touch with us. We started participating in Niki's free virtual tours starting in March 2021 and got to meet Niki and her colleagues by Zoom. They are all so knowledgeable, friendly and articulate. The virtual tours have been great. We look forward to being able to re-schedule our trip soon and are even more excited about taking her tours in-person.

I would like to thank this company for an excellent experience and request that they hurry to offer the same at all major Greek archeological sites! We later on our trip went to explore ancient messini and commented all the way around how wonderful it would be if only we could have 3d glasses there as well. It adds another level of interest- seeing the colours and heights and noise of how the Greeks would have lived then. We particularly enjoyed seeing the complete buildings in relation to one another around the site too at Olympia. We look forward to this company's expansion. 5 star.

Kos reached probably it's peak during the Roman and Hellinistic Period, and became a center of shops and commerce and a great port. Some fabulous villas with mosaics floors is a nice discover in the ancient Agora; If you visit the nice mountain Dikaios, ca. (847 m) , and the charming village Zia is very close to the mountain; a very romantic village with small narrow streets, many little shops, or visit the Monastery of Spondi; the panoramic views of the whole of Kos or also see the wonderful sunset from Zia, will be a super experience.

My guide Vasile met me at the Acropolis metro stop, we headed to the Acropolis, and I was the only person that had signed up for a tour that day so it was a solo tour. We stopped at the Acropolis, Temple of Hephaestus, Greek Agora, Lycabettus Hill, the glass running man, and the Olympic Stadium in my half day tour. 100% worth it, got some great photos and better memories, and would happily suggest them again.
