This was our second tour with this company. Another great itinerary and we were able to personalise this.
Nikos greeted us promptly at our hotel at our arranged time and we had a wonderful day with lots of chat. Nikos speaks excellent English. He introduced us to Greek coffee which we enjoyed. Lunch was amazing as we asked Nikos to order for us! I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Panayiotis treated us like we were friends of his on this amazing tour in the Peloponnese Region. He went out of his way to make sure that we had a complete experience that was never rushed. Also, he was knowledgeable about every place that we saw. The communication with him, and the tour planner Nikos, was perfect. It was such an amazing tour, one that we will always remember!

Our tour of Nafplio was incredible and our tour guide Theodoris was very friendly and knowledgeable. The drive was smooth and Theodoris enriched our knowledge of Nafplio and Greece in general. He took us to one of the best restaurants we’ve ever been to which served traditional and unique dishes we’ve never tried. Highly recommend the tour.

My 6-day personalized trip was all that I had hoped for AND much more. Nikos shared the delights Greece - rich history, delicious gastronomy, and breathtaking natural beauty and diversity. From the very beginning, Nikos listened to what I wanted (Meteora and Hydra) and had a very good suggestion to explore the Peloponnese. I thoroughly enjoyed the majestic rocks and the hanging monasteries in Meteora and the unique carless beauty and pace of Hydra per my plan. And it was wonderful to discovery the winter "little Mykonos" - Arahova, hiking delights of Dimitsana, the idyllic beaches of Limeni, the quaint and picturesque coastal village of Galaxidi, the beautiful town of Napflio, the history of Mystras, Sparta, Epidaurus, and so much more per Nikos' suggestion.
Beyond the “tour”, it was Nikos’ thoughtfulness, hospitality (arranging a coffee with Yota), and attention to both my likes and safety - whether I wanted to “hike” or find fresh figs - that made the trip so special and memorable.

5 out of 5 experience! I've travelled a lot, but Nikos' tour group is definitely one of the best in providing service. I would recommend them completely, even in tours outside of Athens. (I am definitely thinking of touring with them again!) Extremely good communication from start to finish. They reply very fast and are attentive to the details and requests you give them. They always have helpful answers and insights.
On the tour itself, I spent time with Theo, an archaeologist very knowledgeable about Greece. As a solo traveller, I felt very taken care of, and my needs, safety, and well-being were met and exceeded my expectations. Theo was super nice, attentive, friendly, and the perfect guide for the three or so stops. I enjoyed Nafplio the most, where we had the best Greek lunch I've ever had and saw a gorgeous water view after hiking 999 steps from the castle. Meanwhile, Epidaurus and the Theatre of Asklepion felt very healing and relaxing to me (and apparently the myth agrees with this), so I spent an hour up there just enjoying the moment. Mycenae was a nice hike around archaeological ruins -- the site itself, not much to see, but you go there for the road trip and the nice hike during fantastic weather. Corinth was my least favourite because there's nothing much to see actually, but I didn't mind really mind it.
Overall, I definitely recommend this tour and the tour group. I would be booking them again myself for sure, as I had such a positive experience from Nikos and Theo!

I used Nikos for clients of mine and he was fantastic! My clients were thrilled with what a great guide and overall guy he is. He shared so much about the region's history and took them to a great lunch spot. They loved it and I will be sure to use Nikos again.

Ancient Corinth (it took 220 years to cut out the canal), Nemea (monastery built right into the mountain), Nafplio (what a cool place…all of it!), and the Ancient Theater of Epidavros. Our guide, Nikos (he was awesome!!) kept us hopping for 10 hours and showed us so many fabulous places - the Aegean Sea (the photos do not capture the color…it is incredible!) and the fortresses, castles, monasteries, and city centers that surround it have been beautifully preserved for 2500 years and counting. Incredible!! The oldest theater in the world is still going strong - it holds 20,000 guests each night during the play season. We climbed to the nosebleed seats just to check it out and yep…because of the acoustics, we could hear just the same as those on the front row! An off-the-beaten path winery and an “authentic as it gets” Greek cuisine lunch (ordered by Nikos, our guide), and a piece of traditional Greece to take home - thank you for the gift Nikos, rounded out a perfect day.

We had a wonderful day with Nikos. Nikos picked us up at port in Nafplio and we immediately headed to Mycenae. When we arrived, we were the only ones there. Seeing the site where the Trojan War was planned with no crowds was one of our favorite parts of our two week trip. As the crowds started to show up, Nikos brought us back to Nafplio to see the fortresses and have a fantastic lunch (and pre-lunch ritual). The food was incredible and Nikos was a delightful host. From there we went to Epidaurus to see the theater and the first "medical center."
Nikos was an amazing guide. His knowledge of the area, timing of our sites to avoid crowds, and engaging personality made this a really fun day for us and allowed us to see much more than we otherwise might have. Thank you!

Niko created a custom day after an outing to Hydra was canceled due to a ferry strike. The time in Nafplio was particularly enjoyable, with a visit to the fortress and old town. The lunch was tremendous, and Niko always makes his guests feel like they have known him forever. He is a wonderful - and knowledgeable - host.
