Not a lot of time but still a lot of fun! - My family and I enjoyed our time on this tour. Most of it was driving due to the far distances from each location and we were sad we missed out on Mycenae (due to daylight savings it would have been dangerous to walk around at night and we wouldn’t have had enough time to get back before the sun went down) but it didn’t take away from the fun and excitement! Our guide was Dallas and he was very funny and energetic. He gave us some background information of Olympia, Sparti, the temple if Apollo and Kaiadas. Even as we passed by the Corinthian Canal! He made sure we had drinks and stay hydrated, had rest stops as needed and offered us snacks before each journey. I would def recommend this tour to my friends! The only feedback I would have is for the tour operator to send a written notification to let guests know if a location has been removed from the itinerary vs have the guide inform guests as courtesy. We had no problem with the changes but it would have been a nice gesture, especially for future guests.

Best tour ever! - Ok now I know what you are thinking…. “Almost $900 dollars for a tour is crazy!”. But hear me out- I have been all around the world and this was, one of the best, if not the greatest tour that I have done in ALL my travels. If you are a history buff like me, this tour takes you from Athens to three other of the most important historical locations in Greece. And believe it or not, regarding the price- it’s actually a steal! My tour guide Dallas who was one of the most informative people I’ve ever met showed me that taking a taxi to each of these three locations and then back to Athens would come out to the same price- but a taxi wouldn’t give you the information he did. Dallas not only gave me historical facts about the locations and Greece as a whole, but told me things that made me think about life as a whole! It was truly enlightening. So step one- book this tour. Step two- request Dallas as your guide. These are the keys to the best vacation in Greece you can ask for! Thank you again!

Great tour Ancient Olympia and more - Ancient Olympia was on my bucket list and I was not disappointed. Temple of Apollo was better than I anticipated, but the ride up was not a lot of fun with twisty roads. Sparta (Sparti) was great. Our guide Sebastian was knowledgeable. The dinner we were treated to was a highlight for us. Great tour.

Fantastic - We had a very good time with the guide &driver Baddy who explained detailed history for us. He’s pride in Greek culture is so touching. He is kind and considerate and very gentle, a real European gentleman you can imagine.Every interesting site has its special history and unique view, among which love the ancient Sparta sites the best.The tour is not cheap yet it is indeed worthy!!! 非常推荐这趟旅行,完全是考古爱好者的宝藏之旅。

Great all-day drive through Greek history with an excellent and knowledgeable driver - Our trip took us to four separate historical sites while learning about Greek history during the drive to each site. The historical context from a friendly and attentive driver, Paddy, enhanced the experience while riding in comfort. We were still overcoming a little bit of jet lag, and the comfortable car allowed us to get some sleep along the way. While awake, the narration from Paddy gave us a great sense of Greek history, from ancient times to the present. On this trip, our first stop was Olympia. Time permitting, having a quick light lunch at the restaurant at the end is something we’d recommend. The travel time between sites is somewhat long, but that’s generally unavoidable as it’s a hilly region, and car transport is generally the best way to get between the sites. The roads are very well maintained as they are toll roads (tolls are included within this trip’s price). The Temple of Apollo was closed on the day of our trip, and the substitute Mystras site was quite a site to behold as it’s not as old as ancient ruins, and many buildings still stand as structurally sound along with in-tact murals. The included dinner later in the day was great and gave us a diverse sampling of seafood, and they also have a barbecue option. Thanks for a great trip!

The BEST long trip in one day! - This is the BEST longest trip in one day!! Our driver Sebastian, funny and yet professional, alter our trip and took us to Mystra, most magnificent place just like Mycenae, and the dinner just so on point 👏 A long long day but worth every penny, definitely recommend 👍

Our trip to Ancient Peloponnesus - Seeing the site of the original Olympic Games was awe inspiring. The complex was significant in size and scope. Ancient Sparta is a must see for fans of 300. But Mycenae was definitely the highlight of this tour. Our guide, Dallas, was a value-added aspect of our day. His insight into both ancient and contemporary Greek life and culture was highly informative and entertaining.

Perfect exploration in Greece - We had an amazing day tour with our driver Paddy through so many amazing sites in Greece. Paddy was an excellent driver and we felt safe all day long. But even more so - he was a wealth of information on every site and aspect of Greek history so we felt knowledgeable about every location before we entered it. We didn’t feel rushed at all despite all the places we managed to visit. The meal at the end of the day was fabulous and easily accommodated my vegetarian daughter. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Paddy. We liked him so much we requested him for our other tour we had booked with this company.
