“Temple of Poseidon Half Day Tour - We had another wonderful day with Manos, our driver and new friend. On the drive to the Temple of Poseidon, Manos explained the history and culture of all the cities and nearby towns. The Temple of Poseidon at sunset was jaw dropping. Just absolutely stunning. We enjoyed spending our time with Manos. He made our vacation to Greece one we will never forget! Thank you Manos!” - Reviewed on 2024-11-12

“Seniors Can do it too! - I really wanted to do this with my husband to have a memory of our bucket list trip to Greece. But we are 61 and 68, and I was concerned that we may be a bit ‘past our time’. The photographer, Vasilis and his wonderful assistant assured me that we would be fine and that women in their 70’s have successfully completed amazing photo shoots. It was fun and magical. They make sure you are positioned for success and insure no wardrobe malfunctions.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-08
