Best excursion of our two week vacation! Our driver, George, coordinated our pickup time according to what we wanted to do. He was very punctual and took us to a wonderful seafood restaurant. Lovely drive along the coast and George patiently waited for us to enjoy sunset at Temple of Poseidon. Very nice vehicle and our driver shared a lot about Greece and history with us. Highly recommend this tour and this company.
Beautiful sunset

Flexible, accommodating, family friendly, and very informative. Our guide was nothing more than outstanding. Not only did he take us to hidden secrets along the way to and from the main tour, but he gave us great insight into Greek culture, food, and activities. Great time, good stories, and spoke great English. Thanks again!
