We saw Peloponnesian villages which may be of interest if you've seen all Athens has to offer.

3.00Our tour guide was prompt and picked up at our hotel in a van. If you're looking for a tour outside of Athens and have had several days in Athens, this may be a good choice but only if you've seen all that interests you in Athens. One of the villages was interesting, shops were open, the other was not especially interesting, everything was closed, and the tavern where we ate was very disappointing. There was no atmosphere at all and the food, which we paid for, was TERRIBLE. When we asked about the monastery, we were particularly interested in touring a clifftop monastery (listed on the description), the guide drove us to a distant viewpoint where we could see a clifftop monastery but there was a absolutely no way to reach it from where we were. We would have had to hike down into a valley (many switchbacks) and then hike up a long distance to the monastery. We saw two monks coming up from the path with donkeys and loading potatoes to take back. By the time we got to the viewpoint and saw the monastery, late in the afternoon, we knew that there was no way we could get there and back (that would have taken at least an hour, and we are all very fit) in daylight. We headed back down the mountain in the van and our return to Athens still took over 2 hrs. It was an okay day but only just okay.
Super nice guide w much knowledge

5.00Anthony was a wonderful guide and driver who brought us on a tour of Arcadia. The spots he picked were beautiful and we didn’t feel rushed. He told us much about the region and its mythology on the way.

5.00Great day trip to mountain villages, monastery and the river. Villages were picturesque. Great view of the mountains. Villages are very close to skiing slopes. We hiked down to see a monastery. It’s a 20 minute walk from parking lot. Very interesting place, highly recommend to visit. Lunch was good and very reasonably priced. Harry was a good driver and had a great personality.
Amazing experience

5.00We weren't sure which tour to take but we are glad that we have chosen this one. The views are marvelous, the villages are from another era and food was amazing.
A fabulous day
