We enjoyed a superb private tour “Paradisial Peloponnese” with Pictours of Greece. George, our tour leader, delivered a magical week with great food and diverse experiences from wine tasting to cave exploration as well as the many historical sites. Never have we been so pampered! Babis, our guide with amazing knowledge and panache, brought Greek history to life and was simply enthralling as we explored the Parthenon, Nemea, Monevasia, Olympia, Mycenae, Sparta, Ancient Corinth and so much more. We had great difficulty selecting the best moment from the many experiences but concluded that hearing Babis tell the story of Agamemnon and Helen at the top of Mycenae was our fondest memory. We were somewhat wary of a tour with a historic and cultural focus but our concern quickly disappeared as we entered the tunnel at Nemea and lined up at the race start as athletes would have done thousands of years ago. Every day brought a new adventure and enchanting stories. The attention to detail and the genuine caring throughout the week made the trip effortless and smooth. Greece in winter without the crowds was simply incredible - the stunning sites, diverse experiences, the beautiful landscape, the warm welcomes, and the delicious food. Highly recommended!

Would highly recommend Epirus.Travel and this particular tour we went on. We booked this very late which was no bother to Giorgos ( George ) who advised us where and what to do from the start! Less than 10 hours later he was waiting for us at the port for our days adventure to begin! What a day it was! George went out of his way to give us more than we expected from the tour, giving us a complete full days tour of everything and more on the list! He is extremely knoweledgable, great fun to be with, very accommodating, easy going and immediatly made us feel at ease comfortable and relaxed in his hands as he took us on our adventure. Nothing was to much trouble and he ensured we had the best days travel! Sivota, Parga and of course the Acheron River are breathtaking - there was just so much to see, so much to explore from beautiful beaches, sea side coastal towns steeped in history and charm, ancient forests and olive plantations, ruins, fortresses, castles and not forgetting the mythical crysal clear waters of the Archeron springs! I enjoyed every second of the day and it really was the highlight to our weeks holiday in Greece. I would highly recommend doing any trip with George. You will be in the best hands. I look forward to going back to Greece and in particular the Epirus region and will 100% go through Epirus.Travel and do another adventure. I cant wait!

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!!

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.
