Review the Chersonissos mini-train tour, from old-town streets and beaches to Crete’s villages, with practical tips on value and timing.
“Waste of money. No guarantee you can get on the trains and is purely a tour of hotel stops”
Review of a private Corinth and Peloponnese day trip with Ancient Corinth, the Cave of Lakes, Odontotos Railway, and Greek lunch.
“This trip is so well planned and organized. We were in contact contact prior to work out details. Our guide Theo was so pleasant to hang out with all day. He was very knowledgeable and thoughtful.

Review of the Athens to Meteora train day trip, with monastery visits, Hermit Caves, practical costs, travel times, and honest advice.
“Our experience on this tour was very disappointing. The company seemed disorganized and the transport van was very uncomfortable. The ride was rough (perhaps a problem with the suspension) and the A/C did not reach to the rear row where we were seated. The outside temperature the day of our tour was 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Our tour guide was very nice, but seemed very unsure of herself and had limited English. She became ill and had to leave the tour. A replacement guide was found, but her narration was very basic; I do not feel I learned much about the history of the monasteries.”
See Dion, Platamonas Castle, Mount Olympus, Enipeas Waterfall, and Litochoro on a long but rewarding train trip from Athens.
“This was an excellent tour. Damian is very knowledgeable with the information and shared a lot of the mythology. There are very few tour to Mount Olympus, and this one was fantastic.”
