Sunset in Paradise - We loved Dimitris our driver/guide on this short excursion to watch the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. Dimitris showed up early and was friendly, polite and fun to talk with. He grew up in Athens and graduated from it university with a history degree, so knew a ton about Greece that he shared on our hour long drive in his very nice car to the Temple. We stopped by Lake Vouliagmeni and he took photos of my husband and I, then we learned about all the new developments in Athens, the we made it timely for a beautiful sunset at the Temple. Then, he took us to an amazing restaurant with a view for outside dining with great prices and delicious food and he took more photos of us. We had so much fun. Highly recommend!

Amazing Evening in Corinth - From the moment of booking our tours with the Olive Sea team, the experience was flawless. They worked with me to tailor a multi-day private tour experience in Greater Athens. We enjoyed the Athens historical tour, as well as evening tours to Corinth and the Temple of Poseidon over 3 days. Gianna was so responsive and accommodating, it took all the stress out of planning foreign travel. The tours were seamless, right down to new luxury cars and fresh water for hot days. Our guide, Ilias, truly became a dear friend. He took us everywhere. Beyond the sites, we dined at restaurants carefully selected by him. He stayed with us for hours past the time of the tour. One night we were out past midnight. On our last evening, he surprised me with a birthday gift and a cake at dinner (at his expense)! Who does that today? My two daughters just loved him, and said he made the trip extra special. We clearly made a friend beyond our holiday. I travel the world over (luxury, business and budget), and I can honestly say, this was exceptional and exceeded all expectations by a mile.

The best travel agency in Greece - An exceptional experience!! An absolute must!!! Our guide Constantinos made our trip a million times better. He was knowledgeable, considerate, well organised. He really took the time to understand our wants and needs and delivered highest lever of service. The company was very accommodating and were able to work with our timetable and fulfilled all of our requirements and more. The vehicle was big, well kept and comfortable, Constantinos is an excellent driver. Couldn’t recommend them enough. We are already planning our trip back in October and will most definitely use Olive sea travel / Constantinos to plan our next adventure. Thank you very much for creating the most memorable trip. Highly recommend!!!

Tour and transfer - So we did the tour when we got off the cruise ship while waiting for hotel. The coastal drive was beautiful. We also booked transportation to the airport and both parts of the journey were very well managed. I would definitely recommend them.

Our expensive trip to Temple of Posiedon - Tour was good, Temple of Posiedon at sunset was amazing some great photos were taken, but thats where it ends. Paid for a 5hr private trip only got 3hrs, tour also mentioned a 20mins stop at Lake Vouliagmeni-- this didnt happen ( very disappointed) Also mentioned was a stop for dinner ( this also didn't happen and I would have paid for drivers dinner also again very disappointed) Would I recommend people to do this trip- def NO not for the price we payed. Would never use this service again!!!!! .
