5.00Service was exceptional, from the moment we booked we were in constant contact with updates and instruction on pick-up points. We were picked up in a nicely appointed vehicle our driver, Harry, provided us with refreshments and snacks. On the journey to The Temple of Poesidon, Harry kept us entertained with a plethora of information. His enthusiasm and knowledge was second to none, assisting and advising on best photographic vantage points and camera settings Made our journey a most enjoyable one Highly recommend this tour and driver.
