A comprehensive historical view of Preveza region - The tour guide is very knowledgeable and patient. He will provide you with videos and photos of the trip. We visited Acheron River, Nekromanteion, and the monument to the women of Souli. We also visited a local beach, Monolithos, and an abbey.

Thoughtful and well organised - Ioannis & Angela were amazing guides. Professional and fun - and they tailored the day to suit us ( and the very hot weather!). The sites were so worth the visit, it has made us enthusiastic to see more

Live an ADVENTURE with this tour - We joined the tour w/Helen, and our driver/guide Ioannis. So much to SEE and TAKE IN. The remains of the temple of Augustus, Battle of Actium, the Oracle of Nikopolis, (this is weird), The monument of Zalongo: where in 1803 women & children jumped to their death. "live free or die" this was our work out for the day 400+ steps. Then lunch at Acheron Springs. Hard to believe we fit this all in, with an hour to spare prior to the ship disembarking. The VALUE for the $$ was EXCEPTIONAL Tim & Candace

Take a tour instead of a taxi! - We had to transfer from Nidri to Parga and I discovered that for not much more than the cost of a taxi we could do a wonderful tour with this company. We visited the ancient city of Nikopolis where we discovered an open air theatre, Doric columns and beautiful villas. We hiked up to the monument at the top of a mountain commemorating the women who jumped to their deaths with their children to avoid capture, we walked up the River of Acheron and visited Hades in the Necromantion. What a day! It was amazing and we were dropped at our hotel by 5p.m. Ioannis was informative, professional and friendly. The minivan was comfortable and had plenty of water available . I thoroughly recommend this company.
