Highly recommend - Great tour. We had the option to modify the sites we’d visit and the pace. A wonderful guide/driver gave us a memorable experience. The castle is a must-see. Bring a camera!

See a lot in 5 hours - We left our cruise ship and Theo Cars is directly outside the port with its sign on the building making it impossible to miss. We choose this tour as we had already visited Olympia. Our driver was Dimitris was very friendly and helpful, and the car was impressive. We visited ancient Ilis which was really interesting and was deserted when we visited. We also went to the nearby museum which had accessible pieces going back to several centuries BC. Then on to the 13th century Chlemoutsi Castle which was amazing with spectacular views. We went to a bistro overlooking the sea before heading back to the port. It was five hours really well spent, thank you Dimitris.

Excellent Tour - Dimitris was absolutely excellent, the tour was private and we were able to tailor it to our needs. We got to do way more than what was offered with the cruise ship. He had excellent recommendations and was so kind and helpful. Definitely recommend booking with them.

good trip but... - good trip but pricey for a half day. Ended poorly when instead of lunch at the beach as per the original description the group was taken to a restaurant owned by the guides cousin. then end up paying nearly twice the amount that we did for lunch in Athens. Guess the good old tourist shake down is still in place... avoid the lunch mistake and it might be worth doing.

Do not recommend! - THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. The group had specifically picked this tour as it went to a castle that they had never been to. Upon arrival to the driver, he told them that they would not want to go to the castle as there is nothing there. He made it seem like the site was not there anymore, but the group later confirmed that it is still standing and in operation. He became increasingly upset as the group tried to tell him that they would still like to go. He whipped the car around several times, telling them that he thought they should go to Olympia instead. They had already been to Olympia and had no interest in going, but as he was the guide and driver and was getting very upset with them, they agreed. On the way to Olympia, the group asked if he could share more about the area and where they were going. He replied that it was illegal for him to talk to them and that he could not give any information about himself or the area. He also stated that the entrance to Olympia was only 6 euros, and later turned out to be 12 upon arrival. Further, the tour description shows that the approximate tour length is 5 hours. The driver took the group to Olympia and then returned them back to the meeting point after only 3 hours, turning the music up in his car very loud and refusing to speak to the group. He did not mention the beaches that were described in the tour description or offer to take them anywhere else.
