I loved the private tour with just the two of us and our informative guide. Definitely 100% worth it and would do again!”

“My husband booked this tour because we did not have a lot of time to spend in Athens, and we wanted to see many of the famous sights. Petros picked us up on time, and kept us on track without stress or pressure to hasten our visit. He was full of knowledge about both the history of Athens and what city life is like in contemporary context. He was extremely considerate when I had an urgent call of nature. It was truly a pleasure to meet and get to know him, and his kindness made all the difference in how we experienced this great city. We look forward to coming…”

“Santorini was our daughters dream. We booked this private tour to make sure she saw everything. Our driver and guide was there waiting for us. He knew the island well. He made very good suggestions as to the order in which to do things. We got to see Oia with very few other tourists and therefore we have great photos...which he took for us. He even had a buddy who was wearing authentic greek clothing take photos with us. He got us back to Fira in time to get the tender back to the ship. Our guide was Alex. Great guy.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 865 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90

Review of Mykonos sightseeing with a local guide, Old Town, Ano Mera, monastery, beach time, snacks, pickup, and small groups.

“Unfortunately, this tour did not live up to our expectations. After reading the reviews, we had high hopes that we would learn a great deal about the island but that wasn’t quite our experience. The title of the tour is “Sightseeing like a Mykonian”. Our guide wasn't even from Mykonos. We felt like we were given the bare minimums on our tour. No in-depth info on much of anything.”

“Pete was so knowledgeable about Corinth. He has lived there all his life; he even took us to his home church which was preparing for a celebration of St. Paul! The church was stunningly beautiful. He took fabulous pictures of us above the canal and even sent us videos that he had taken of boats passing through the canal. We walked in the footsteps of Paul and even visited an ancient road where they used to drag their ships across before the canal was there! We finished with a lovely dinner at his friend's restaurant. Excellent tour! The only thing I would change is I wish he could have walked…”

We asked to be in the shade when possible because of the heat and he did great to try to accommodate this. He was promptly at the meeting point with a sign with our name. The tour was fascinating! I would recommend a guide for this place, otherwise you might not be able to grasp the significance of the palace. Overall a great tour and would recommend!”
