A moment of relaxation - Mario's professionalism and friendliness made this day unforgettable, even though the previous night got a little stormy (you don't mess with mother nature), he managed to make the changes needed for us to have an amazing day (unfortunately the train ride got canceled in the last minute because of natural causes in the area which were outside of the control of Mario. This tour is full of nature, astonishing views and tranquility that only Kalavryta area has. The cave of the Lakes, was fun and unforgettable, shame that we couldn't take pictures for obvious reasons ;) (Though, i think that for some others in that cave (outside of our private tour) wasn't so much after my flying bat noises #sorrynotsorry) Seeing different sceneries, and colors' that the city does not have, makes you feel that you can relax and just take your time without the rush of the city. The attention, service and professionalism that Mario offers is impeccable and we highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants a full day of tranquility and quietness.

Enjoy Tours Greece - Loutraki Makes Travel in Greece Easy! - What a wonderful day we spent with Marios as our driver and guide. He promptly picked us up at the agreed upon time in Corinth and drove us to the Kalavryta area in an air conditioned and very comfortable van. The tour company had purchased our train tickets ahead of time and he dropped us at the station to catch the hour long train ride up through the gorge to the town above. The scenery was spectacular on the ride then Marios met us at the top where we proceeded to the memorial in remembrance of the massacre of the entire male population of Kalavryta by the Germans in 1943. This stop was of particular interest to our group as two of the four were born in Greece. Then off we went to the Cave of Lakes for an amazing walk through the caves and visit to the very techy and brand new onsite museum. After we visited the oldest monastery in Greece, which has been rebuilt over the years, we ended the day with an excellent meal at a local restaurant and the drive home. Marios is a very personable, knowledgeable guide who easily communicated with us in both Greek and English and who also picked us up at the Athens airport and delivered us back there at the end of our trip. Enjoy Tours Greece provided us with excellent service throughout our trip and some of our family also used them this summer and last summer to facilitate their travels within Greece. We also completed a day of wine tasting in Nemea through ETG with Marios as our guide again. He definitely knows the best places to eat and has cultivated his contacts at the different locations of his tours.
