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.

It was a great tour to the classical hotsots of Greece. Due to Corona on all visited sites were only a few tourists what I never had before. The hotels were at nice places in walking distance to the city center, so that we could enjoy Greece evening life easily. Our driver did a great job and had always interesting stories about ancient history and modern Greece to tell during our journey - thank you for this experience Yanis!

With this tour you will have the opportunity to spend a day at the one of the most important ancient sites of Greece.Delphi was considered by the ancient Greeks to be the center of the earth so they found this location perfect to host the famous oracle where Pythia gave her predictions about the future and were respected by everyone.Nowadays,Delphi is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in having had a phenomenal influence in the ancient world.Right next is the small traditional town of Arachova offering some great views of the whole area as it is built on the side of the Mt Parnassus and it is the ideal place to have a quick lunch before we take the way back to Athens.But we are not quite done yet,as down the road lays the most important byzantine monastery of Greece,Osios Loukas where we can admire the special byzantine architecture.

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!!

Walking through the “Sacred Way” that leads to the Temple of Apollo, you will pass by the treasury of the Athenians, where they used to host their valuable offerings in tribute to god Apollo. Continuing your way up to the slope of the mountain, you will see the Ancient Theatre and further above the stadium where the Pythian Games were hosted. Below these areas, are the temple of Athena Pronoia, the Gymnasium as well as the Castalia Spring. Your experience will be completed after visiting the archeological museum of Delphi and have lunch at a local restaurant. On the way back to Athens, you can spend some time at the picturesque town of Arachova and and visit the very well-preserved middle Byzantine period Monastery of Hosios Lucas, which is included on the UNESCO'S World Heritage List.

We first met John when my niece Hélène and I visited Athens in September 2013 and based on the various excellent reviews on his services, asked him to organize our transfers from/to airport and private tours to Sounion, Athens and Corinth, which he did perfectly, including renting a wheelchair for me (as I’m a person with restricted mobility) and arranging for my trip up to the Acropolis via the archeologists’ lift, which enabled me to visit the Parthenon again. So when we returned to Greece 7 years later in Sept./Oct. 2020, this time to Agi Theodori, a small village some 60 km from Athens, we immediately contacted John again to take care of the wheelchair rental, transfers to/from our villa and a private tour to Old Corinth. John himself waited for us at the Venizelos airport, as smiling and full of life as ever, though we were a few hours late due to a serious technical problem on our Zurich/Athens flights. Being already retained by a big football star, he arranged the tour in Corinth with another delightful and helpful driver, Alexander and again we had a lovely day. On the transfer back to the airport we again stopped at the Pende Phi, a fantastic Greek family restaurant he had introduced us to back in 2013 and we had a marvelous lunch before flying back. John is really a jack of all trades and is able to arrange a lot of things for you, point things you would have missed otherwise, give you tips of what to do/where to eat and always ready to help and solve problems. So we certainly hope we’ll meet again when we’ll visit his beautiful country again. Thank you for everything, John! Sylvie & Hélène, 74000 Annecy /France

Well worth doing. Eva was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. She brought the city, it’s history, sites and museum to life. If you have limited time in Athens then this is a must to enrich your visit.
