Spyros's knowledge about Santorini is unmatched but he is more than a guide. He spoke about his own experience as an archaeologist and had us utterly captivated as he showed us around the island and Akrotiri. He then took us into the museum and again had us enthralled with his tales of the artifacts there. The trip around the island was full of stories and Greek history. We extended our tour by also going to a local winery which was a lot of fun and very tasty!!!

My wife and I planned a trip to Greece (mainland and several Aegean islands) for May 2020. Niki was so responsive and helpful working with us by email and text to plan our itinerary and arranging private tours and a driver at many sites, both with Niki and several of her associates. Then the pandemic hit and we had to cancel our trip but Niki has stayed in touch with us. We started participating in Niki's free virtual tours starting in March 2021 and got to meet Niki and her colleagues by Zoom. They are all so knowledgeable, friendly and articulate. The virtual tours have been great. We look forward to being able to re-schedule our trip soon and are even more excited about taking her tours in-person.

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!!

At the foothills of mount Lykaion lay the springs of a beautiful "female" river called Neda. According to Greek mythology Neda was a nymph, a goddess of water and she was one of those who nourished Zeus. The gorge of river Neda is a natural wonder of the Messinian countryside. The constantly varying landscape, the lush, the turquoise waters and the majestic cliffs, make the crossing of this gorge an unforgettable experience.

A great 6-day-kayaking-tour. We had good and bad weather, however, the guides George, Ana and Norbert always found a perfect alternative, like pool-training for wet exit, eskimo roll, etc or an alternative tour. All guides had been very supportive in every way and never-ending-patience with the pool-training. All of us could improve our kayaking skills a tremendous lot. George has a lot of stories (including history) to tell. We were spoiled with picknicks on remote beaches and a choice of excellent accomodation. But most important - we had a lot of fun in that week. A real highlight. I will definitely go back for more paddling next year with Explore Messinia.

Unmissable! This is by far the best experience on the Island. Having our own private boat was not only more practical but also a lot more fun. Denise at the helping desk is awesome! She is kind and knowledgeable...the skipper Thasos (not sure how to spell his name) is incredibly skilled and fun. We had a blast!!!
