I am very late with my review as my trip was in September 2019, but it was so amazing I didn't want to miss sharing it with all of you. We were on a cruise and Athens was a port of call. We hired Dennis for 7 plus hours and together we designed a fantastic itinerary. He showed me where to go to purchase tickets ahead of time and all things were a go from the moment we got off the ship. We saw everything! Dennis was helpful, polite, flexible and we were so lucky to get him to show us around the great sights of Athens. Athens is a HUGE city. If you are not in town long please take my advice and hire Tours of Athens for a PRIVATE air conditioned tour. We had plenty of time in each place and it was very very hot so having a vehicle just waiting for us was a no brainer. We had 6 people total and I believe we each around 80 euros for the entire day. Well worth it. Time is money! Thank you Dennis and I am so sorry for the late review.

We did a tour to Sunion Cape and the service we had from Frank was amazing. He is a very helpful person and made everything easy to all of us. HP`s minivans are amazingly clean and he takes care of every single detail. We had such an amazing service that we recommended it to two other families also traveling in Greece. I absolutely recommend HP Tours

Loved every moment of our private tour. Nikolaos, our host and driver, was courteous, flexible, and knowledgeable about Greek’s long history. He was a pleasure to have around, and helped to make our day a memorable one. The wineries and the Nemea region were lovely. Make sure if you’re booking the 50% online option, remember that you still need to pay the other half to the driver on the day.

Elafonissi Beach Elafonissi is located 76km west of Chania in the southwestern most point of Crete. Elafonisi is an oblong, which often "breaks" in two parts by water giving the impression of being a separate island. Elafonissi is a “Natura 2000” protected area. The island is full of dunes with sand lilies and junipers (like-cedar trees). The endangered turtles Caretta-Caretta and several rare animals nest on the island and it is strictly forbidden to remove any plants, animals from the area. Exotic beach with white sand and turquoise waters, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either sides of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its color from thousands of broken shells.

Inclusions:  Pick-up/Drop-Off  Guiding  Air-Conditioned Luxury Bus  Full Liability Insurance

I was not able to join the tour as I did not receive any information about the meeting point. The sign-up confirmation says "meet-up at your hotel or city center". I tried calling and sent a message to the given number, but no reply. Otherwise, these are the the best beaches on Crete island, so definitely recommended.

My guide Vasile met me at the Acropolis metro stop, we headed to the Acropolis, and I was the only person that had signed up for a tour that day so it was a solo tour. We stopped at the Acropolis, Temple of Hephaestus, Greek Agora, Lycabettus Hill, the glass running man, and the Olympic Stadium in my half day tour. 100% worth it, got some great photos and better memories, and would happily suggest them again.

Also went out to Olympia, messene and the Diros caves with Aristoteleia. She was excellant and all the tours were VERY enjoyable. Would recommend paying a bit extra for the private tour and the flexibility it gives you. The extra notes that were provided for Olympia and Messene were great and very useful. Also very informative just to chat to someone about the local way of life etc. THANK YOU ARISTOTELEIA.
