Review of the Delphi day tour from Athens, with expert guiding, ancient ruins, museum treasures, Arachova, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“We had a wonderful experience with Mariana as our tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and full of energy. I would definitely recommend this tour”
See Athens by electric bike, from Pnyx and Plaka to the Panathenaic Stadium, with easy hills, photo stops, and a friendly local guide.
“Excellent morning tour with George - great knowledge and made the excursion a lot of fun 11/10!”
Review of Naxos’ half-day history tour, with Demeter’s Temple, village stops, pottery, Kouros Statue, tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.
“The half-day bus tour of Naxos with Alex was fantastic! The pace was quite brisk—no one would be bored, and I might even say it "left me wanting more" (maybe I should have done the full day!). Alex was very considerate of everyone's needs and struck a perfect balance between the island’s history and modern life. She’s friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience engaging and fun. Highly recommend for a quick yet rich overview of Naxos!”
See Naxos beyond the beaches on a four-hour tour of Demeter’s Temple, mountain villages, pottery, marble quarries, and the Kouros statue.
“Excellent tour, 4 hours was a good length as it wasn’t too long but we saw several villages and sites that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. The tour guide, Thanos, was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. He grew up in the area where the tour was which made his guidance feel very authentic. Highly recommend!”
Review of the Heraklion and Knossos tour from $47, with guided ruins, Old Town time, museum options, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“Great Guide in terms of knowledge but everything was so over the top hurried. Would prefer to pay 10 € more and get a little more time.”
Explore Corfu Old Town through local food, history, and generous tastings on this three-hour guided walking tour.
“I have done at least two dozen food tours all over the world and this was truly one of the best. Naustia was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job mixing historical facts with information about life in Corfu today. She was able to answer any questions; she exuded a love for her homeland; and, of course, we had plenty of wonderful food, wine and liqueurs at several local restaurants and shops. Be sure to show up with an empty stomach!”
Review of Athens’ private Greek mythology walking tour, with market stops, local stories, pricing, guide quality, route tips, and practical advice.
“tour was on a Sunday and several places we wanted to see were closed. State houses, library, markets all closed. Need to reflect this in your literature and price.”
Review of Athens Highlights by E-Bike, a small-group ride covering ancient landmarks, the Acropolis, Olympic sites, and the changing guard.
“Great experience and a cool way to see and explore Athens. Our guide was polite and at the service all time with a lot of patience for everyone. Great tour timing to be in front of the presidential palace when guards are changing and having that "show"”
Start from a place, or from the kind of day you want.
