“We had a number of hours to kill after disembarking from our cruise ship before flying home, so we decided to book this last tour of our trip once we were back in Athens. We met Melina, our driver, right at the cruise terminal and she was a very enthusiastic tour guide as we made our way down the coast. We chatted about Greek mythology all the way to Cape Sounion (she was surprised how much we knew!) and then spent some time at the Temple of Poseidon. Afterward, we were supposed to stop for lunch but a number of the restaurants we were looking at weren't open for lunch…”

We enjoyed the Athens historical tour, as well as evening tours to Corinth and the Temple of Poseidon over 3 days. Gianna was so responsive and accommodating, it took all the stress out of planning foreign travel. The tours were seamless, right down to new luxury cars and fresh water for hot days. Our guide, Ilias, truly became a dear friend. He took us everywhere. Beyond the sites, we dined at restaurants carefully selected by him. He stayed with us…”

We had a very hot day so the A/C private SUV was a huge plus for the entire day.…”

“This tour is the best way to see all the great sites in Athens and then in Souino to see the Tample of Poseidon. Pannos was our driver and he was very nice and very informative at every place we stopped. We didn’t hire a professional tour guide so Pannos would basically give us the history of whatever site we were going to next while driving there and for us that was perfect. We still got all the historical information but then were able to go explore it on our own which we loved. Athens is very hot so doing this kind of tour is the best way to see…”

Easy to understand, full of Greek knowledge and friendly. What a great combination! The tour showed us the Greek countryside and villages that are common in this part of Greece. Seeing goat-herders, numerous olive trees and farms growing corn and other vegetables was enlightening too. A visit to an ancient Monastery and Church were inspiring. Getting away from the hectic city life gave us a different view entirely of Greece. Walking through the ski town and seeing snow at the top of the…”
