Traveler reviews
I highly recommend
I highly recommend this trip. It was absolutely worth the price. Our guide, Giannis, was very friendly and very knowledgeable about both the military and cultural history of Greece. I consider myself fairly well-read on Greek history, but I still learned new things. We went on three different private tours with three different tour companies during our trip, and while this was the most expensive one, it was hands down the best. I'll never forget seeing Marathon from up high and resting my legs in the same hot springs the Spartans once used. If you're a history buff this tour is definitely worth it.
Marathon and thermopholie tour
Andreas Was a very good driver and showed a lot of energy in sharing the rich cultural history of ancient Greece. A local Athenian, he drove impeccably throughout a very congested city. He went out of his way to make sure we saw everything that could be seen in both the marathon and Thermopholie areas. He treated us like family and we’d be happy to go on another tour with him again.
Best experience in Greece
We did 2 day tours ( Marathon, Thermopylae and Olimpia tour) and one 2 day tour (Sparta, Mystras- Monovasia) with the company. All the tours were perfectly organised, professional and interesting. We had great time- Terry the driver and Giorgos and Yiannis the guides were great. We learned and saw a lot. I can just recommend the experience.
A Magical experience with an expert tour guide!
Our tour guide Alex was knowledgeable, kind, and led us on an amazing experience walking the battlefields of Marathon and Thermopylae. He even opened the door for my wife when we got in the car! He answered all my questions on the drive as well as all the pertinent information leading up to the battles, the details of the battles, and the implications of the battles on history. I highly recommend this tour as well as our guide Alex! Thank you so much for a wonderful time and unforgettable experience.
