Our first stop is at historical Thermopylae! Paying tribute to King Leonidas of Sparta and his 300 Spartan warriors we will visit the amazing monument of his statue which is captivating and have the chance to gaze upon the renowned hot springs (one of the 7 gates to Hades)!
We will visit the archaeological site and Museum of Delphi, with its spectacular collection of artifacts, including the Naxian Sphinx, the unique bronze Charioteer and the Statue of Antinoos.
Discover Ancient Olympia the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games.
You will explore Mycenae from where the expedition to Troy started.
Walk through Nafplio the first capital city of modern Greece, a picturesque town with Venetian architecture that the Venetians used to call the Naples of Greece.
Witness the amazing Epidaurus theater, constructed in the late 4th century BC to host religious events to honor the god Asclepius and still in use. Another fact about this theater is the perfect acoustics. During summer, it hosts performances of ancient Greek drama.
We will explore the incredible archaeological site of Ancient Corinth following the footsteps of St Paul.
Ancient Diolkos where you discover and explore the ancient passage from the Corinthian to Saronic gulf and the subducting bridge. Here you can enjoy a coffee or snack at a wonderful cafe while you admire the views and wait for boats to pass through the canal.
Last, the Isthmus/Corinth canal which separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland where you will appreciate the engineering and incredible views of the Corinthian and Saronic gulfs.

George was our guide and he was wonderful. My wife is in a wheelchair and George made certain that she saw everything she could and helped in any way possible. He took us to great restaurants and told us about the history of Greece. If you want to see Greece with a local, George is your man. I cannot express how grateful our family was to use Ancient Greece Tours. Five stars is just not enough to express our gratitude.

Fantastic experience with Nikos as our guide. A cold bottle of water at every stop, an easy to follow itinerary, excellent recommendations for lunch and dinner and personal, thoughtful conversation/assistance. Our family of four (2 adults and 2 teens) had a great time on this trip. I would highly recommend this trip, most specifically I would recommend Nikos as a guide to all our friends!!

Went on the Classical Greece 4 day tour run by Ancient Greece Tours with Tas as our driver/guide. From the very start he made the trip fun and educational, it felt like we were going on a trip with a long time friend. There were cookies and water waiting for us in the car, which was a very comfortable and new sedan - perfect for the 2 of us.
Of course we visited all of the amazing ancient sites (UNESCO heritage) that the Peloponnese peninsula has to offer and Tas primed us with lots of facts on the ancient greeks and for each specific location making sure we didn’t miss anything e.g. the site where the Olympic flame is lit in ancient Olympia before passing to Athens. In addition Tas took us to places we would never have found on our own and which had their own special magic. We went to thermal springs and bought delicious Turkish delight from the side of the road. We found an ancient limestone roadway with ruts from chariot wheels still visible. We added visits to the Archimedes museum (Olympia) and wine tasing (Nemea) to the itinerary. He took us to an amazing restaurant in Delphi with views all the way down the valley and was able to secure us a table with a prime view.
We also learnt about the Greek way of life today, the politics, the healthcare and many other aspects.
Tas ensured that our trip of a lifetime was truly that, with his own widespread knowledge, passion and love of Greece, its history, politics and culture - 4 days we will never forget.

Our tour guide, Sophia, had previously worked as an Archeologist and was able to share a wealth of information in an entertaining manner. Bus and driver were excellent as were accommodations. We enjoyed touring the country and sea shore. We like to do and see stuff when we travel and don't need much time for relaxing. Trip exceeded expectations.

Tas did an amazing job of customizing our multi-day tour. Our group was a bit challenging - two young kids, two senior citizens, my husband, and me (an archaeology professor). Tas handled it all with ease. At every point, he knew which restaurants to recommend, where to drop off/pick up to make it easier with those of us who couldn't walk as well, and gave me plenty of time to see all the sites in detail. When I ran out of time at the site of Olympia, he made special arrangements with the guards for me to get back into the site for free the next morning! The only thing that might surprise you is that Tas is not a guide, so he doesn't go with you into the sites and museums - that is self-guided, on your own. But he knows a lot about the ancient history and knows exactly where to take you, which is all you really need. An excellent experience!
