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.

This was a wonderful experience. Giorgos and Georgia were excellent and very knowledgeable. Very generous with their time, they took us around the villages of Corfu around olive tree plantations and wonderful views of the island, both mainland and the coast. Don't miss it!

My wife and I have been on lots of walking tours over the years in various cities but I’ve got to say this was one of the most enjoyable and rememberable, Efi is a super tour guide she had heaps of knowledge and was both engaging and informative and and spoke great English. We did the evening tour with wine, I expected a cheap glass of unpleasant wine but was very surprised that we were taken to one of the very nice bars overlooking the square and we were given a really good glass of wine and snacks. I genuinely can’t recommend The evening guided tour with wine more highly, next time we will do the ghost stories evening Tour.

they blatantly LIE to their customers!!! When you buy their tickets to the Achilleion place..they make it seem like the tickets to go into the palace is included (we asked them 3 times..to 2 different people and they repeated the same thing..that it was included to the price) we go there and we have to buy separate tickets to go into the palace. The lady at the front desk stated that we were not the first people to be duped by this company that they have been LYING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS ALL SUMMER LONG!!!and when we phoned them they blatantly lie and deny that they ever told us that the tickets were included..and even put the phone down on us...soo rude...we wanted a refund...they refused to give us a refund. I just hope anyone reading this will think twice before buying from this company..dont brother they are liars, unorganised and unprofessional!!! I REPEAT DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY
