Traveler reviews
A wonderful day
Our driver, Panos, was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in every way. Through the long drive he remained amusing, patient and seemingly tireless. It was a wonderful day!
Our full day tour with Manos as our driver and Vasso as our guide was nothing short of amazing.
Highly recommend everyone book this tour with Manos and Vasso. Our driver Manos was awesome, caring (kept asking if we needed water or a stop to take a break), and funny. And we are so glad we paid extra for an English speaking guide because Vasso made it well worth it. She was full of information and kept it interesting, my teens were engaged the whole time of the tour, never bored once! Love the place they recommended for lunch, perfect spot! Thank you so much Manos and Vasso for such an incredible day.
We had an amazing trip. We learned so much about Greece and its people.
Andreas took us on a private Athen and Poseidon tours. He also transferred us to the train station. He was so enjoyable and knowledgeable. He made us feel like family. After our first tour and throughout our trip he was contacting us with restaurant ,site seeing options and just making sure things were going well. When we arrived at the train station he insisted on escorting us in to make sure we found our train. It was a good thing. Our departure time had changed and we had not been notified there by missing our train. He rearranged tickets for our new departure,contacted our next hotel reservation, arranged to hold our bags and pick us up for our new departure. He went above and beyond. We were so thankful he was there for us making our trip just that more enjoyable. Greece we will be back and Andreas you will be our first choice! Thank you.
