The BEST long trip in one day! - This is the BEST longest trip in one day!! Our driver Sebastian, funny and yet professional, alter our trip and took us to Mystra, most magnificent place just like Mycenae, and the dinner just so on point 👏 A long long day but worth every penny, definitely recommend 👍

Our trip to Ancient Peloponnesus - Seeing the site of the original Olympic Games was awe inspiring. The complex was significant in size and scope. Ancient Sparta is a must see for fans of 300. But Mycenae was definitely the highlight of this tour. Our guide, Dallas, was a value-added aspect of our day. His insight into both ancient and contemporary Greek life and culture was highly informative and entertaining.

Perfect exploration in Greece - We had an amazing day tour with our driver Paddy through so many amazing sites in Greece. Paddy was an excellent driver and we felt safe all day long. But even more so - he was a wealth of information on every site and aspect of Greek history so we felt knowledgeable about every location before we entered it. We didn’t feel rushed at all despite all the places we managed to visit. The meal at the end of the day was fabulous and easily accommodated my vegetarian daughter. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Paddy. We liked him so much we requested him for our other tour we had booked with this company.

So many amazing experiences packed into one day! - We had an amazing activity packed day tour with Dallas! My son has a special interest in Greek history and it was so great to have private transfers to so many sites all in one day! Dallas provided so much helpful background/context and was so attentive to our needs and comfort. We loved not having to worry about navigation and could focus on exploring the sites at our own pace. We ended the day with a lovely dinner at a family style restaurant back in Athens - we will fondly remember this experience for years to come! Thank you!!

Wonderful Tour - Absolutely an awesome tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and told us so much of the history of the places we were visiting. We even had the chance to see a few more sites other than Ancient Olympia and Ancient Sparta. Our tour guide took us to Mystras, Mycenae, and the beautiful little town of Nafpoli. We had such a wonderful time and it was amazing getting to see all the history in the area. I highly recommend! And if your tour guide is Padi, you will not be disappointed!

Dinner is not included - Overall the day tour was exceptional. Our guide, Paddy, was very knowledgeable and we would highly recommend him. The only negative is, we thought according to the advertisement, that dinner was included and it was not. Otherwise we would’ve rated the overall experience 5 stars.
