5.00Vasilis is an awesome guide. He is knowledgeable, personable and interactive. He visibly enjoys his job. He has a mission for his life and a plan to get there. We would do this tour again and ask for Vasilis to be our guide.

5.00This trip was an excellent introduction to Ancient Greece and the ruins. We were picked up promptly at our hotel. Our tour guide Jonus (John) was very knowledgeable about Dion and explained the different Gods and their relationship to each other. We had lunch at a local taverna which was very good. We saw waterfalls near Mt Olympus and visited the Monastery of Dionysius. I would recommend this day trip.

5.00The weather turned rainy and cold on the day of the tour. Vasilis (Bill) understood the situation and quickly designed a tour around other important sites in the area. Turned out to be a great day thanks to him. He was prompt, great driver and we happily spent the following day with him also.
Outstanding tour!

5.00We had an outstanding tour with Bill. We toured the Dion ruins, the museum, hiked to waterfalls, a monastery, the White Tower, the castle of Thessaloniki and walked the waterfront promenade. Bill really went out of his way to make sure we had the best tour possible. He’s also a very safe driver with a great personality. An excellent experience of Thessaloniki in a short amount of time due to being on a cruise ship.
Great way to spend a day near Thessaloniki!

5.00Our guide was insightful and shared his knowledge with us while taking us to all the places as promised on the tour. Βασιλης (told us we could call him Bill) was flexible with the amount of time we spent each place.
Best tour ever!

5.00Here's the thing, when you are traveling in a foreign land, you want your tour provider to provide you a safe, secure, and authentic experience. I can say that Bill, our tour guide hit the mark on all of these and more. It was great that Bill spoke both Greek, and excellent English. Bill was a safe driver, getting us about the place and opening doors, tending to the creature comforts, and looking after all our needs. I can confidently recommend Bill as one of the most friendly, helpful and skilled guides I have experienced!
Great experience!

5.00Unlike other tours that advertise as private and then combine groups, this was truly private and a ho at your own pace. We visited so many things and our driver was marvelous!

5.00I have been dreaming of coming to Greece since I was 12 years old and finally made it here at 50. John was the most knowledgeable and wonderful guide. He was kind and funny and gave my husband and I plenty of information about the sites we saw. We will definitely be reaching out to him when we come back.
A lovely way to learn more about Greece.
