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 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 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!
