Excellent Private Tour with Perikles! - Our driver, Perikles, was amazing! He arrived 10 minutes early and was waiting for us outside our Airbnb. The car was spotless, very comfortable, and perfect for a luxury tour. Perikles was polite, professional, and clearly knows his job and the tours very well. Everything ran smoothly, and we had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality service in Greece!

A Deeply Moving Journey into Marathon's History - This tour was not only educational but also deeply emotional. I was particularly moved by the story of Pheidippides, which I hadn’t known in such detail before. Learning about his heroic run to deliver the message of victory, only to pass away immediately after uttering "Νενικήκαμεν," was profoundly touching. Visiting the battlefield and the museum brought this story to life in a way that left a lasting impression. This tour is a must for anyone who wants to connect with the powerful legacy of Marathon and its timeless significance.
