I went on the September 26 tour. George was a very good guide! I wish we had more time to explore Mycenae and Epidaurus.

My wife was very interested in the life of St. Paul and this was an excellent tour to see where St. Paul was in Athens and Corinthia. Giorgios, our guide, provided an excellent explanation of St. Paul's journey through Greece and made this a very memorable trip! Although the private tour is a bit more expensive, being with him in a very comfortable, Mercedes-Benz E class was worth every bit. We were able to get right to the main locations very easily, and Giorgios provided excellent tips and background. This was our last day in Greece and it was an excellent way for us to finish our vacation. I highly recommend this tour!
Great tour highly recommend

Was a great tour, we originally was going to do a 4 day tour and include Meteora but so glad we broke it up and done the two separate tours as a long time sitting in the bus.
Great Sights but long ride

Long bus rides so be sure you are okay with that. Got to see lots of countryside and enjoyed the three stops but they are pretty short. Would have liked more time in the little town. Next time I would do a small group tour instead of a big group.
Beautiful historic sights...

Beautiful historic sights with lots of time to see. Tour guide very knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Don’t buy lunch tickets. Only part of the trip that was disappointing.
