We Wrote Our Own History This Day <3 - The whole experience was phenomenally worth it. Tas, our guide was not only hugely knowledgeable about the history of a Ancient Greece, you can tell he really cared about it, and it brushed off onto us. We came back learning so much more than we anticipated. The drive itself was thoroughly enjoyable and we were never without a joke here and there. When you have an Aussie and Kiwi and an Englishman together, this can only be a good sign! Our lunch was to die for and the views were something else! On a personal note I proposed to my girlfriend at the Temple Of Hera. Not only did Tas keep my idea a secret, he played a massive part in it too. We will never forget that. I would 100% recommend this trip and any other that this amazing company has to offer. I can assure you, you will be looked after! Tas, thank you again my friend. Big Hugs!

Great private tour - worth the money - Yannis picked us up on time from our apartment. He was friendly and great from the beginning. It is a long drive, but the car was clean and comfortable. He had plenty of much needed water. It was great seeing the canal, the old boat road, the castle in Corinth, and the ancient ruins. We had to adjust our tour stops because we stayed longer at some and shorter at others, but he got us to our tour guide (we booked as an extra) right on time! He went above an beyond for us, stopping at the temple of Hera for a sunset visit. He even offered to take us a few more places, but by then we were just ready to head home! I love to venture out of town, but I prefer the stress-free experience of someone else driving and telling me what's best to see. I highly recommend this tour!

Lovely day! - Wonderful tour! Panos was a great guide—informative and responsive. It is a long day, with a lot to do, but he had great recommendations for all of the sites and the best place to eat with a great view.

Greece - It was a beautiful day, the driver was pleasant and friendly, gave us plenty of time to enjoy the different places we went, and then he brought us to this beach that was wonderful and the water was so clear, the restaurant was clean and everyone was friendly and I just can't say enough about how wonderful the food was.

Beautiful tour away from busy Athens - We truly enjoyed our day trip out of Athens on this tour. In particular, we were fascinated with the Mycenae and Corinth ruins and their museums. It was also great to see some of the Greek countryside which contrasted beautifully against busy Athens. Our driver was a pleasure. Although he could not accompany us into the sites, this was great for us. As we drove, he gave us much of the history and background to put the sites into context, and then we enjoyed going through the sites at our own pace. He suggested a perfect local restaurant for our lunch, and wisely recommended visiting an 18th century castle in place of visiting Blue Lake since we came in the winter.

Exceptional service and comfort revealing gems of Ancient Greece - We were delighted to be hosted by Tas for a memorable day trip from Athens in Mercedes comfort, with knowledgeable and friendly banter from a dual Greek-Australian! We were happy to take Tas’s local knowledge and advice to vary our itinerary, visiting Nafplio instead of the Blue Lake, considering the winter weather and short days. Tas imparted his extensive historical and archeological knowledge along the journey, leaving us at strategic points to enter the museums and archeological sites at Ancient Corinth and Mycenae, where we enjoyed our self tours at our own pace. All of the sites and museums were extremely well set up with amazing relics and informative descriptions in Greek and English. We also enjoyed the flexibility of an unscripted trip to the heights of Acrocorinth, with spectacular views of the gulf. We finished the day with a trip to the original capital of modern Greece, Nafplio, now a charming port town, where we had a delicious meal of local specialties, meatballs (keftedakia) and moussaka! In summary, a relaxing, fascinating and educational day in great comfort and company!

Private Excursion to Corinth and Mycenae - Good time, able to adjust schedule and places to see. This is not a tour but really a guy that takes you to the sights with some humor/ food and a good car. Time at the places are short so exploring is not a real option as it got us in some time trouble.
