Our tour through Epirus...
Sophia E,Sep 18, 2025

5.00Our tour through Epirus was absolutely unforgettable! The day started with the Necromanteion, the ancient Oracle of the Dead. The history here was fascinating—our guide, George brought the myths and rituals of the ancient Greeks to life, and wandering through the underground chambers was an experience I’ll never forget. Next, we visited Acheron River Springs, where crystal-clear waters and stunning scenery made it feel like stepping into a fairytale. Walking along the river, with its turquoise currents and lush green surroundings, was both refreshing and awe-inspiring. We ended the day with dinner in Souli village, and it was the perfect finale. The hospitality was warm and genuine, and the meal was authentic, flavorful, and one of the best we had in Greece. Eating local dishes while overlooking the mountains was simply magical. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, educational, and full of beautiful moments. If you’re visiting this part of Greece, don’t miss this incredible experience! George and Epirus were amazing!
This is what you must have done in Parga

George super guide to Hades gate!

5.00George was an excellent, well informed, funny and flexible guide. tour deserves five stars. Great museum visit, hike up the gorge and gates of hades, stories of Souli and local farm meal. My son and I really enjoyed the full day . Warning: Despite Viator/ trip advisor taking our payment and sending voucher confirmation, they did not inform George and we had to message him. Very quickly and flexibly he was able to change what he was doing and collect us. Warning - visitor and Tripadvisor do not always tell local guides so always send a message to local guides for confirmation.
Brilliant day out and about

5.00Another 5 🌟 for Giorgios and Epirus. My wife and I had such a lovely day, and Giorgios made it interesting and fun. Completely agree with the other 5 star reviews here - the temple, river, hike and a very special place for lunch in the mountains of Souli - amazing. Highly recommended!

The most perfect day of my life (so far)
Kimber B,Oct 12, 2024
- Review from Viator
5.00Georgios is truly a phenomenal guide! I’ve wanted to go to the places in this tour for my entire life, and Georgios is enthusiastic, accommodating, and knows such extensive history that he contributes to this tour. We went on a lot of tours in this region, and I’ve been on a lot of tours in my life, but Georgios and the underworld tour was the best ever and I will remember this for a long long time. Next time we visit we will definitely be sending a message to Georgios to see if there are other tours we can join him on! Also, my partner and I did get engaged on this tour, which was perfect for a couple of grown up goths like us. Not only did Georgios facilitate the perfect space for us for this life step, but he was so genuinely enthusiastic for us and celebratory with us. Thank you again, Georgios, we hope to see you again! And if you’re thinking of taking this tour DO IT!! You will not regret it!
Exposure, views and time with a local in Epirus region
Gloria R,Oct 3, 2024
- Review from Viator
5.00This experience provided another perspective of Greek mythology and history. It ended with an authentic Greek meal at a local taverna. Georgios at Epirus Adventures is passionate about Greece and it shows. If you’re looking for a deep historical/archeologic experience this isn’t for you, but if you’re visiting Parga or surrounding area at the tail end of your trip (as we were) and you’re satisfied with what you learned on prior stops, then this gives you exposure, views and time with a local who is authentically interested in sharing Greece with his guests..

5.00The guide (George) took my friend and I on this tour. He has great knowledge about the area and brings you to the pearls of the river and village Souli, where you can eat the best lamb chops. 10/10 would recommend. Gr Thomas & Niek
A fantastic tour

5.00George is a great tour guide and a really nice guy. He knows so much about the area that he makes every stop on the tour come alive! The Acheron Springs offers an exceptional experience and should not be missed if you are in the area. The tour of Souli and the subsequent stop at the restaurant provide a delightful conclusion to the excursion. The restaurant's menu boasts a diverse selection of delectable local dishes, catering to a wide range of preferences. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
