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 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.

Our flight was delayed two hours so we were very relieved to see our driver waiting in the arrival hall with our name on a sign and a big smile even though he had been waiting for us. We were a bit tired but he chatted about Athens and made a point to show us on the map where we were going and point out some sights. We felt very safe in our yellow taxi and were pleased to have prebooked.

Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 1 reviews
In our tours you will see much more than any other tour, places that most conventional tourists never visit. Only a few drivers and locals like us can get you there. During the tour, you will learn about the sites, history, mythology and our culture. Tours are private at your own pace, where our customer is "always the Boss". Our Goal is to make you feel as close to a "Greek" as possible during your limited stay and love Athens and Greece. Delphi was inhabited since the Mycenaean times (14th – 11th century B.C.) by small settlements who were dedicated to the Mother Earth. The worship of Apollo as the god of light, harmony, and order was established between the 11th and 9th century B.C. Slowly over the next five centuries, the sanctuary grew in size and importance. During the 8th century B.C. Delphi became internationally known for the Oracular powers of Pythia, the priestess who sat on a tripod, inhaled ethylene gasses, and muttered incomprehensible words that foretold the future.

There is only one way to describe our trip - FANTASTIC. Pick up form our hotel was timely and we were kept informed throughout about what we would see an timing. It is all due to the the guide, Markos Vasalos, a highly educated professional whose family has been in the tourism industry for years and who is very knowledgeable about the area and Greece as a whole. He shared the history and customs with us even of out of the way spots we could see form the road but not visit. We went places on the spur of the moment which deviated slightly from the planned itinerary, seeing far more than was described. What were described and we visited as highlights - Theater at Epidaurus, the ruins of Corinth, the Corinth Canal, and Mycenae were the main foci and are well worth the trip. However, a visit to (for a late lunch) and sauntering around Navplion an Aegean seaside city on the other side of the Peninsula from Corinth, with its floating Venetian Fortress surrounded by yachts, was an unexpected treat, especially when accompanied by Markos' town history lesson. If you make this trip (and you should) you would be missing out hugely by not asking specifically for Markos or "his" people. We use guides on more than 8 occasions in Greece. I cannot more strongly recommend any tour than this one with Markos. It makes all the difference in the world for long day which is well worth it even in 98* heat.

After a long two days of flights, it was great to be picked up from the Airport and taken to the hotel. At first it was hard to find the driver at the Airport due to many transfers in the arrivals area but the contact person was able to find my driver and direct him to where I was. My driver was Alex and ht was very polite and helpful in explaining the areas we were traveling to giving me a great first impression of Athens. His driving through the narrow streets in the Plaka was impressive. He was very professional and a great representative for the company.
