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!

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!!

Not as advertised. I contacted the tour operator - Kostas of Korinthos Taxi Company - about a private tour of the historical sights in Corinth. A driver picked me up, and a few minutes into the drive to the Canal, I immediately knew I had been duped. He was driving very fast, and offered no explanation whatsoever about where we were going or any information about the Canal. After probing him, he informed me that his was not a 'tour guide' but a taxi driver hired to take me from one stop to the next. Regretfully, I decided to cancel any further engagement with this driver. After speaking to the owner, I paid the driver 10 euros for dropping me at the Canal, and sent him on his merry way. This so-called tour is NOT worth the 60 or so euros advertised. You are better off renting your own car from Athens and driving yourself, taking as much time as you need at each location. I was fortunate to meet a local woman at the Canal, who, along with her husband, voluntarily gave me the most fabulous tour of Ancient Corinth, and took me to lunch at a local restaurant in Loutraki, complete with a stop to enjoy authentic Greek desserts! Korinthos Taxi Services serves an injustice to travelers to Corinth. They have an opportunity to promote and share the great history of this city, but instead, leave visitors to fend for themselves. The best thing he could do, he said, was give me a guidebook to read - ha! That's what the internet is for. Not all visitors are interested in 30-minute photo ops; we want to understand, appreciate, and connect with the rich history of this amazing country. I would never recommend or patronize this business again.

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.

Loved every moment of our private tour. Nikolaos, our host and driver, was courteous, flexible, and knowledgeable about Greek’s long history. He was a pleasure to have around, and helped to make our day a memorable one. The wineries and the Nemea region were lovely. Make sure if you’re booking the 50% online option, remember that you still need to pay the other half to the driver on the day.
