One of the best experiences in Greece - The tour was exceptional. All the places that we visited were very interesting. A key factor that made the trip amazing is Periklis, the driver/guide. With his knowledge and the way that express himself, is driving you into the depth of history. He knows very interesting details and makes you feel a connection with the places and the history. The vehicle was comfortable and clean and we felt very safe throughout the trip

Family trip - We spent 2 days - they were brilliant days.
On a personal note, our driver, Periklis, could not have been better. He was really a professional! Very social man, he did all the promised things, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history. We really were satisfied to the amazing days.
We plan to do a three day trip with him hopefully next spring as we so enjoyed our time with him! Highly recommended.

Must do tour with a fabulous storyteller makes the day a memorable experience - This was an amazing experience. Greece is rich in history. But what made this exceptional was our driver / guide Periklis who is the most knowledgeable person I’ve ever met. Throughout our drive he told us stories about the disputes and of course the Greek gods. What totally amazed us was his accuracy, the stories matched to a T what we heard at the Thermopylae museum which made the museum experience even better. Such a fascinating place of historic bravery. The scenic route was chocked full of spectacular views. Delphi was simply amazing. The museum has so much to offer. When you have a great storyteller like Periklis it makes a great tour exceptional. This is a must do tour.
