Great value tour. - This tour was excellent value with everything included except lunch. The hotels chosen were very comfortable, with large rooms and great variety of food at the buffet dinners and breakfasts The places visited and the time spent at each place were well planned and gave an excellent overview of classical Greece. Congratulations must go to Joy, our guide, who had an exceptional knowledge of the archaeological sites visited, and who ensured that every detail of the tour was executed perfectly. Thank you also to Nikos, our bus driver. ,

FANATASTIC 4-Day Trip to Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi and Meteora - My friend, Rosemary, and I LOVED this trip and how we got to learn so much more about Greece, it's history and people. The start of the trip was a bit rocky, as I had not seen the email that was sent about a change in the pickup time so we were not ready when they came to get us and our hotel elevator was NOT working and since I had injured my left t-band muscle before this trip was NOT able to "rush" nor carry our stuff down the stairs. The lady left w/o waiting for us but our hotel host, Tarsos, called us a taxi and we caught up with the group there. Joy, Nikkos and those on our trip were so VERY helpful in getting around to all the sites we went to - especially the steep places and stairs. Was glad that I was able to "keep up" with the group mostly and on a few things did not attempt to strain that muscle more. However, my muscle got better every day and was able get around w/o as much help. We were ESPECAILLY grateful for them dropping us at the bus station in Meteora so we could make our stop in Thessaloniki that without losing our reservation. We liked the food at the Amalia Hotels and the choices for my gf and her vegan diets. The only place for lunch that I changed was our last stop in Meteora because we kept getting switched around tables and I went up the block and ate at another restaurant. Again, thank you Joy and Nikkos for making our trip west of Athens a lovely experience and we might even take this trip again if we get a chance to come back to Greece.

4 of the best days we spent!!! - Foteni (guide) and George (driver) were absolutely amazing! We had weather issues at Meteora and entry limitations to Mycenae and the stadium at Delphi, but they were able to adapt and show us other amazing sites that were equally historical and amazing. If you get the pleasure of touring with Foteni then you will absolutely enjoy yourself and George only has one year left before he retires, but is a true master of the roads for safety and capability.

Mainland Tour - Mother Nature gave us the sun throughout this tour, had a super informative guide that was easy to understand and covered all bases, was surprised about the charge for the hotel VATS since it was double from what was advertised. However, the hotel porter service made up for this ding. Outstanding Bus Driver. Not quite done with this Tour but expect no issues other then what this review mentions

The Best Experience of our 3 week trip - This was THE BEST tour that I have ever been on. Xenia our guide was more like a superstar professor who took us on a breathtaking 4 day journey through ancient Greece keeping us all engaged, informed and wanting more. It is a tough challenge to do that over 4 days but words do not do justice to her work. She even took the time to advice my daughter on future study options in Greece. The locations are well maintained and so much of history there to absorb. I cannot describe how awesome each one was. Babis our driver with his ever present grin and the occasional wink and his awesome driving were fantastic. We reached everywhere on time and we left on time as well. The tour is extremely well planned. I was apprehensive of the Amalia hotel after reading reviews here but i found them quite comfortable. The blessing was that they had free porter service so your luggage reaches your room from the bus when you check in and it's picked up when you're checking out. When you have to check in and check out each day this is such a life saver. The food was quite good but repetitive and I can understand it because Amalia caters to your business so you have folks of all nationality and food habits there. Plus the comfort is that the food is safe and healthy so you're not going to struggle during a 4 day bus journey All in all, we really want to do it again. My wife and two daughters (a teen and a tween) enjoyed it so much. Thank you, Xenia, Babis and Chat tours!

UNESCO Visits - Each UNESCO site was wonderful. The driver and tour director were exceptional. The dinner buffets at each restaurant were just ok. But I understand that was necessary for big groups. It’s unfortunate you can’t do group dinners at a restaurant nearby for the in town hotels, which was only one night … just to switch it up.

Great guide and driver - Our guide Nancy was absolutely amazing; she was enthusiastic and very very knowledgeable, ensuring we understood everything about the areas and the sites we saw. She was incredibly friendly as well and answered all our questions in a detailed, patient manner. Our driver Nikos kept us safe throughout and drove us throw some tough spots very skilfully. However, without those two, this tour would have been a very average experience as time could have been managed more efficiently on the tour and it was not organised to it's full potential. Furthermore, food options lacked variety, especially for vegetarians.
