George was outstanding; he had extensive local knowledge and pointed out everything that was significant or interesting. He was not pushy and gave us time to enjoy our visits. The car was clean and he was on time. Highly recommended using George.

We did first the hop-on hop-off bus tour through athens, which was OK (nothing special, just nice to sit down and be driven through a beautifull city). Then we did the private tour with Georgos as our guide. It was a suberb day. He told a lot, was very patient, good music taste. We saw the most impressive things. Just a perfect day.

**** TRAVELERS BEWARE******** My wife and I are frequent travelers and never have I dealt with a company so corrupt. Last year for obvious reasons (covid-19)they canceled our tour. This is not the issue, the issue was in their own words they would refund us but we would have to wait until January 2021. We did that, when I reached back out to them to inquire about the refund that they said they would process they never replied. I tried multiple times to get ahold of them. Only when I explained that I was going to write reviews and contact my banking institutions as well as the Greek Better Business authorities did the email back, saying they were sorry and that they were waiting on their bank to process the funds. That was at the end of January 2021. Weeks went by and I sent multiple emails again with zero response. So I stated that I was going to proceed with the earlier plans. Boom they emailed back saying sorry but their bank was still processing it?? Zero confirmation numbers which I asked for. Weeks went by again. No response. So I'm urging travelers to not book with a shady company that can't even hold up their end of a deal. You have many choices for tour companies in Greece, I would choose otherwise.

My son, daughter-in-law and I had booked a 14-day private tour of Athens, Crete, Santorini, Milos and Naxos with Private Tours Greece from May 1-14, 2020 and made a 30% down payment by credit card on 02/06/2020. All interactions with Private Tours Greece went smoothly and were professional and friendly. Then, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and my son's illness, on 03/13/2020, well ahead of the deadline for a fully-refundable cancellation, I asked Private Tours Greece to release all reservations it had made on our behalf, but to hold my deposit, in the hope that we might be able to reschedule our trip later in 2020 or in the spring of 2021. Private Tours Greece complied with my request and issued a credit voucher for the down payment I had made. As the pandemic continued to surge and Greece remained closed to visitors from the United States, on 4/17/2021, after essentially extending an interest-free loan to Private Tours Greece for over a year, I requested that my down payment be fully refunded and credited to the same credit card account to which it had been charged. Thereupon, Private Tours Greece staff claimed that the request for refund had been "forwarded" ... as it turned out later, to Alpha Bank. Nothing happened for a week. I then engaged in repeated e-mail exchanges with Private Tours Greece staff, only to be subjected to a stream of equivocations, obfuscations of the facts, and invalid excuses, including a claim that Private Tours Greece was doing me a favor by agreeing to a refund because the Greek government had allegedly given it the option to hold my funds indefinitely. I then contacted the general manager of the company, who sent me what purported to be a Greek language request to Alpha Bank (that I was unable to read) to issue the refund, along with further invalid excuses, never responding to my complaint that Private Tours Greece was in breach of its contractual obligation to issue a full refund of my down payment, not to mention doing the honorable thing, i.e., issue an immediate refund from an account he controlled directly, rather than blaming Alpha Bank for the delay by claiming that it "required" 10-15 "working" days to complete the request. Even that outlandishly ridiculous period has now expired! A complaint I submitted to Alpha Bank has received no response to date. It has now been nearly a full month since my refund request of 4/17/2021, and I may have to initiate legal action against Private Tours Greece ... with all the complexities and additional outlays and delays that would involve ... in order to reclaim my funds. The lesson to be learned here is that Private Tours Greece cannot be counted upon to honor its promises and contractual commitments. If there is any chance at all that you may have to cancel your trip, STAY AWAY!

We were on a 7 day Med cruise from Athens, but wanted to spend more time in Greece after the cruise. Aphrodite arranged the hotels and rental cars along with some great travel advice. Great trip, rental car was delivered to the hotel and dropped at the airport hotel, never easier. Saw all the key sites especially the one you don't want to miss, Meteora.

Tour was super basic. And I’m using the “tour” loosely. You are paying for a taxi driver to take you around to popular tourist sites. You still have to pay to see everything. Our guide was nice bit he didn’t speak a lot of English. I guess they don’t want you asking the driver any questions, lest you think he’s a tour guide. You pay extra for a tour guide. He picked us up at our downtown hotel and took us to as much as he could in 4 hours but traffic was a little crazy. All things considered, if you want to visit sites and have someone else worry about the transportation, this tour is for you. Other than that, I would suggest you pick something else.
