Great tour! - The entire tour was stellar. The sites, the hotels, the food, and especially our tour guide, Dimitris, were all excellent.

You Need To Do This - I would say that getting to know other people from around the world was a perk to this trip. The sites were absolutely stunning and memorable. I would say that the Amalia hotel near Meteora and Olympia were outdated and needs some work. They are also far from the town so it was hard to see anything. The food was alright but should not stop you from taking this trip. Thomas was superb as a guide. His knowledge was amazing and was super supportive with our experience. I appreciated that most of the touring was done in the morning as the afternoons were extremely hot!! Awesome planning on behalf of the company. Do not miss this.

A must do tour! - Our stay in Greece was part mainland, and part island hopping - Our four-day classical Greek tour was an amazing experience; an absolute must do if you are even remotely interested in history. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was great, and we cannot begin to say enough about our fabulous tour guide Ave. He took the experience to another level.

Wonderful tour - This tour with Chat Tours was excellent and one of the best tours we've been on. This was largely due to our guide, Xenia, who was remarkably knowledgeable and who had a great way of explaining things clearly and succinctly. She really brought the ancient history to life for us. The 16 seater tour bus was comfortable and had free WiFi. We covered almost 800 miles as the sites are very spread out, but we had plenty of rest stops at interesting places. The hotels are decent enough and all have swimming pools, although the days are very long and you didn't always have much free time between arriving and going to dinner. For anyone wanting to learn about ancient, classical, roman, and more recent Greek history then this is the perfect tour. The scenery is also spectacular and very varied. You won't be disappointed

Amazing Tour - Absolutely amazing tour. The guide Xenia was extremely informative, very well presented and ensured the 4 days ran extremely smoothly. There’s a lot of time on the road but the trip is well structured with breaks and time for photos. The destinations are well worth the miles traveled and Xenia provides good commentary for a range of sights. The bus is very comfortable and comes with free wifi.

Very interesting tour - We visited these outstanding historical sites with a very knowledgeable, cheerful and enthusiastic guide (Nancy) who explained a lot about the relevant mythology and historical background as well as greek culture and traditions. The group of about 25 of us weren't rushed and had some free time at most sites with clear instructions about departure times, meeting points etc. Everything ran to time with our driver Nikos and we went to most places in the first part of the day followed by a lunch stop and then a drive to the hotel with one or two extra stops. On the 3rd & 4th days we were joined by about 15 extra people doing a 2 day tour but they missed out Olympia, epidauros and mycaenae. The 3 hotels were clean and well appointed (Delphi had the best location, views and time to walk around the small town). There was plenty food for evening buffet and breakfast. Our bags were delivered to our room from the coach each day and then reloaded for us. The lunch stops were, I thought, relatively overpriced group tour venues with several groups arriving at once, but getting everyone fed and back on the road within 1 hour is difficult to do any other way. Early June was very hot with temperatures up to 36C but our guide always found shady spots and the wireless headsets meant we could all hear clearly, especially in the indoor museum sessions when synchronising with other groups. There was a moderate amount of walking at each site and some climbing up & down uneven steps but nothing strenuous. Overall, a very interesting, well organised tour of these world famous sites covering a lot of ground with several hours of daily coach rides. Well worth the money and we met interesting people in the group from all around the world. Some may find spring or autumn weather more comfortable.

We saw more and learned more in four days than we ever knew before. - Our driver, guide and the porters. The hotel accomodations and meals were basic, but wonderful with a great selection. The skill of our driver was important to the success of this trip. The knowledge and interpretation by our guide was genuinely entertaining. We listened and learned.
