I had a terrific trip touring Mystras, Sparta, Delphi, Meteora, and Thermopylae with my guide Nikos! Nikos put together a custom itinerary with places in Greece that I had not yet visited. The highlight of my trip was visiting the clifftop monasteries at Meteora. We had marvelous weather for picture taking, and Nikos, knew where the best spots were. Hiking up several of the monasteries was also a unique experiences, and Nikos knew the best ones suitable for me. An AWESOME trip!!

We took a private tour with Taz. The tour included Corinth Canal, ancient Corinth, Acrocorinth and Mycenae. Taz was amazing and tailored the tour to us throughout. He was extremely knowledgeable and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We have this cruise booked for June 2020. As we are from Australia, our borders are closed. I have emailed three times to cancel over the past month and have not received any response. We were so keen to go on this cruise however this experience with the customer service has definitely soured the experience. We plan on going to Greece next year however I do not think we will be taking this cruise.

We literally had a dream week with Sailing Blue and Periklis Gkikas with an almost brand new Lagoon 450F catamaran from August 1 to 7, 2020 departing and returning to Milos, Greece. When you go with small children and people who have little sailing experience and have few days of holidays each year, you really have to find the right person, the one who will make sure you are constantly sailing safe and who will do everything to make your week as enjoyable as possible. However, given the multitude of yacht charter offers with a skipper, it is a bit of a lottery to find the right person. For my part, I met Periklis Gkikas at the 2019 boat show in Paris. From the start, I appreciated his seriousness and professionalism. Unlike others, he was very clear on what we could do in 1 week from Milos and offered us several options (departure port, routes, etc.). He didn't try to "oversell" what might happen during our stay. We were even able to discuss together the possible thorny points of a stay in August, namely the meltem (north wind) which can blow very strongly in August and also the question of mooring in the port which can be complicated due to the crowds in August (which was not really the case this last summer because of the travel restrictions due to the covid19 pandemic). During the 1st lockdown, we stayed in contact with Periklis and he kept us constantly informed of the modalities for entering Greece during the pandemic. On the 1st day, Periklis was early so we could join him earlier on the catamaran at the port of Milos. The refueling done, we were able to leave for a dream week where Periklis was able, every day of the week, to maximize between our desires to visit such and such a place or to stop to swim and enjoy the sea, the weather of the day and the time available to us. In addition, we did not have to do any wild mooring because Periklis found us a safe place in a port every evening. Very important also, Periklis did not stop worrying about our comfort throughout the week and therefore made an effort to steer the catamaran with calm and discernment, avoiding the constant changes of course and tackings unnecessary. This is extremely enjoyable, especially for people with little sailing experience on board, for children. At no time during the week did we feel at risk. Safety, comfort on board and seriousness are the fundamental and real values of Sailing Blue and Periklis Gkikas. Our week of catamaran in the Cyclades has been idyllic and we look forward to leaving with Sailing Blue and Periklis to continue to visit Greece, this magnificent destination which we fell in love with.

We were very satisfied with the whole process. Our driver was very nice and accommodating. He provided us with information on the drive to Delphi and also let us get off at two places to visit them. In Delphi he reserved a table for us in a restaurant, where we went to eat after our tour. The restaurant was very good. Our tour guide confidently guided us through the museum and the excavation site in German. We were all excited.

What a fantastic experience for me and my friends! We booked this excursion in the afternoon cause we had planned a late night out in the city the previous day and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Our driver picked us up from our hotel with a luxurious van and by the end of the day he had become our friend. Not only that but on the way he explained to us in detail the history behind everything we were seeing. We started with a visit to the lake which was marvelous. After that we headed for Cape Sounion and the temple of Poseidon, where we watched the sunset. Definitely a unique experience. An image that will stay with me forever. I highly recommend One Day Tours. They were very friendly and informative, from the moment we made our reservation up to the point they dropped us off at our hotel. We are definitely coming back to Greece and certainly booking another excursion with One Day Tours!
