5.00Our guide Christos was delightful. We spent 7 hours with him. He is knowledgeable & carried on great conversations. He also gave us several brochures & a map of where he took us. Great tour guide! Will request him in our next trip!!

5.00We had a great day with our tour guide, Christos, visiting this amazing area. The cog train ride through this gorge had the most awesome landscape, the sheer rock mountains were incredible. Christie’s English speaking was very easy to understand and his driving was impeccable, we felt totally safe in his care. We learnt a lot about the area visiting many interesting places. We would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Christos for an incredible day.

1.00They told us on a ride for two and half hours all to get there and the train was on strike. After that they had to go to other places that was not on the vip tour. Wasted time just to make up for their mistake when they could have told us that they were on strike so that we could setup another trip. . We complained to the company in the US all for them to tell us that they can control the strike but I told them that management should have checked to see if it was on schedule to go but and not blame it on the strike. Will not use this company for anything in the future for other trips
A nice day away from Athens

5.00After a long day in Athens the day before, this tour hit at just the right time. We were met at the hotel by our driver, Christos, who was prepared for our day with plenty of cool water and information. As we drove to our destinations, he expertly explained what we would be seeing and their significance. He allowed for plenty of time for breaks and photos. The spot he selected for our lunch was so perfect...delicious examples of Greek cuisine. The train portion of the excursion was particularly awesome, but by no means the only good part of the tour. And at the end. Christos grabbed my phone for me before he left after dropping us back at the hotel. I highly recommend this tour, and if you're lucky enough to get Christos, it will be even better!
Just an Okay tour!

4.00I know the company running this event did not appreciate all my messages. My friend and I really wanted to ride this train and as it turns out I was finally able to get our tickets just before we left to fly to Athens. My friend and I enjoyed the ride although it was very noisy due to school children which was not the fault of the company. One thing I will say though, the seats are meant for children, they are really small for adults. If you can tolerate that it is a good ride. Would we do it again, NO. We have done it now so now we know. The tour afterward was okay, but not memorable.
