George was the best! - To stand at Thermopylae was awesome, to visit Delphi was even better. But to have a friendly person drive you around, engage you with as much or as little conversation as you’d like was perfection.
George was our driver. George got us to the right places quickly and efficiently. And we got to see the countryside during the trip. This experience was worth every euro. We always felt safe, and George lined up a great place for lunch.
Zero issues. And I feel like we got to see more than just Athens during our trip!

One of the best experiences in Greece - The tour was exceptional. All the places that we visited were very interesting. A key factor that made the trip amazing is Periklis, the driver/guide. With his knowledge and the way that express himself, is driving you into the depth of history. He knows very interesting details and makes you feel a connection with the places and the history. The vehicle was comfortable and clean and we felt very safe throughout the trip

Family trip - We spent 2 days - they were brilliant days.
On a personal note, our driver, Periklis, could not have been better. He was really a professional! Very social man, he did all the promised things, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history. We really were satisfied to the amazing days.
We plan to do a three day trip with him hopefully next spring as we so enjoyed our time with him! Highly recommended.
