Memorable Sparta and Corinth - It was a great trip. Nikolaos did a lot of driving getting us to Sparta and back safely. Told us about the canal, showed us great spots to take pictures. Same with when we arrived in Sparta- museum, statue and ancient Sparta. Recommended a great gyro place to have lunch. Miscommunication on olive museum that we didn’t get to see but replaced by Corinth. Great trip and thank you for all the driving.

Nice experience - Nice experience, despite not having a separate Guide, our driver explained the points of interest in an understandable way despite our English was not perfect. In addition, our driver also allowed us to change the itinerary in the same day, according to our preferences. Recommended.

Get out of the City to Explore Greece! - Petros hosted a wonderful day-long tour to Sparta and the beautiful Greece countryside along the way. He was flexible with the itinerary allowing us to go to a winery for a tour and wine-tasting. This was a great opportunity to get out of the big city and experience rural villages. Petros had extensive knowledge of the history and was a most excellent host.

An excellent, comfortable, interesting tour that exceeded our expectations. - Our driver, Christos, made this 10 hour tour fabulous. He was an excellent, punctual, experienced driver and included pamphlets and history videos for us to watch while driving in an air-conditioned car. He pointed out sites along the way, and followed our wishes for specific sites and timing. He picked us up at our hotel in Piraeus and drove to the Corinth Canal, Sparta, and Mystras. We saw various ruins, green mountains and valleys, orange trees and olive groves, the interesting olive oil museum and tasting, took us to a fortress and monastery on the hill which we hiked down from, etc. The tour was the best and just what we wanted. Thank you!

This is Spartaaaa! :) - This is definitely a destination you'll want to make time for. Getting there is a long haul from Athens, but it's too awesome to skip! We enjoyed our tour of Sparta and the surrounding areas with Christos as our guide. The ride was comfortable, and he readily accommodated our requests for restroom breaks at clean facilities. Christos shared his deep knowledge of Sparta, its history, and its significance in Greek culture and history. The tour was at a comfortable pace, so we never felt rushed. He expressed genuine care for our overall experience in Sparta. The ruins in the heart of Sparta were better than other similar sites because visitors are allowed to walk among them so they can feel connected to the past, unlike other ruins where you can only look at them from afar. As a side note, while most places take credit cards/tap-to-pay, bring euros to support the local economy. Christos also made sure that we had maps and printed guides to take with us as mementos of our adventure. We had a great time on our trip!
