Wonderful - We had a wonderful day on this tour. Giorgos picked us up right on time and the car was clean and comfortable. He provided us with background information on the places we would be visiting and we enjoyed pleasant conversation and learned about Greek culture. There was a lot of driving involved for sure, but we were able to relax and request rest stops as needed. Monemvasia is spectacular! I would highly recommend.

Amazing - What an amazing day. Just enough time for everything. The museums we visited in Sparta were small and so lovely. No long queues. The museum of olive oil was so interesting and important to this country. Monemvasia was absolutely stunning. We had time to ourself to have lunch, and explore and shop 💗. Nathaniel is an outstanding young person. Very knowledgeable. Just a great young man, all people in this world should be more like him.

Sparta and Monemvasia by Crispy Local - We had a wonderful trip to Sparta and Monemvasia with Crispy Local. Anthony is an excellent guide, driver and host! It is quite a distance from Athens but it absolutely worth it. The views on the way to Sparta and Monemvasia are most of the time breathtaking (except for the industrial part of Attica). The Olive Museum is worth a visit. Sadly the remains of old Sparta are little, but you must have seen it, especially with the majestic Tayetos mountains at the horizon. Monemvasia is a fortified medieval town with small, labyrinth-like streets and great views over the see.

Our best day trip from Athens! - This was the best day trip we took during our stay in Athens! Easy pickup and dropoff at our Airbnb. Our driver, George, was very friendly and we had excellent conversation during the trip. All of the stops were historically significant and much less crowded than the sights in Athens. It was a beautiful drive through the countryside with amazing view of the Aegean Sea from several stops. I highly recommend this tour!

Its a long way to go..... - This was a very long day trip to see not very much. The Corinth Canal is beautiful and worth the visit. However Sparta itself was disappointing and given that the Archaeological Site was free, that was indicative of how little there was to see there, The Museum of the Olive Oil was interesting and should you wish to buy Olive Oil, there is a great shop across the street from the museum that sells products from Sparta. Monemvasia is beautiful however the fortress was closed for repairs so we were limited to what we could do. I would not recommend this trip but I would highly recommend our driver Henri, who was personable and very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to spend time with him.
