Perfect End to our visit to the Mediterranean

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour guide, George Kappis, was terrific. He was extremely knowledgeable and his English was excellent. Communication before and during excursion was through WhatsApp. He was professional and personable. It was an exceptional tour!

Great guide, wonderful experience on a very hot day

Published on Jul, 2024

Our guide Vicki was wonderful and informative. She was very attuned to our group's needs and allowed us time to sit in the shade periodically since it was so hot out. When we toured the Parthenon and Acropolis, it was over 100 degrees F out, and she was so great about making sure our group members were getting shade and rest. She provided lots of information and was responsive to our questions and inquiries for different things.

Above and Beyond Helpfulness in obtaining emergency passport after original stolen.

Published on Jun, 2024

Our tour guide, Ioanna, and driver, Alex went above and beyond what was expected. First the tour itself was wonderful with great information. At the Acropolis, my wife was unable to climb up and Ioanna and she sat and waited for the rest to return. Unfortunately, someone stole my wife's backpack from behind her - contained her shipboard card and her passport, among other items. Ioanna and Alex were great in getting us to police station and to U S. Embassy to obtain an emergency passport - at least 2 additional hours for each of them. Such kindness and helpfulness.

Awesome time in Athens

Published on May, 2024

Awesome experience! Our driver and guide was George and I honestly don’t think we could have gotten a better tour!! George was extremely knowledgeable and extremely accommodating to the sites we wanted to stop and see. Highly recommended!!

A must do!

Published on Nov, 2023

Having a personal guide to show us the city was the best thing we could've done! Our guide, George, had a modern Mercedes all electric car. It was great to be able to keep our bags with him as we just finished a cruise. Can't rate this trip high enough.
