We visited Greek Islands on Oct and we are so lucky that booked this tour through *Private Tours Greece*
The communication was perfect, the tour was customized as we added 3 more days and we were absolutely satisfied with the hotels,
and the local activities. Also the manager of PTG offered us a complimentary dinner with Acropolis view.. thank you Ioannis!!
We planing on our next adventure in Greece via Private Tours Greece
For the price it was a good trip. After taking another trip with a privat driver, I would probably have done this tour privat instead of a group tour, but because of the price this is a good option.
The good part (that on its own gets 5 stars); seeing Delfi and the Monasteries is a really beautiful thing, and i recomend doing it, mabye even do a 3 day trip, so you get more time at the monasteries! the guide was good at the places vi saw. the place of the hotel was good! Okay bus to sit in, just glad we where not a full bus!
The company is easy to get in touch with and easy with payment. would use them again.
not so good; i had to walk to another hotel to get picked up, evendo my hotel was only 3 minuts away and everybody else godt pickup at there hotel. And i could not get droped of at my hotel near the habour(but it was not a downtown hotel, so i knew that might happen).
The guide was not that passionet, she was good on the sits, but in the car nobody could understand what she was saying in the mirophone, not even the person next to her. I told her on the first stop that i had a hard time hearing her, and asked her to re tell a story, and she did, but never asked our changed anything after that. I startede google what we saw instead.
The driver got us there fast! some times maybe a little to fast, but that is greek driving;)
The stops where we ate was not that good, the first lunch stop was in the middel of nowhere and seemed like a old hotel, the food was ok, and the people was sweet.
the motorwaystop was very basic.
I do not know if these are the only places that makes sense to stop becuase of time, but i think there is so many beautifull places that if possible, it would give the tour something ekstra if the stops where at small taverns in beautiful towns. And the food at the hotel for dinner, was really not that good, and that was a 4+ hotel.
Last i wish we had been able to stop ind the mountain town before Delfi, i think it is in the tour describtion. and that they would have done more in terms of the monastaries, more stops for pictures our mabye asked if we would have gone up and seen the sundown or sunrise, because that would have ben special.
The stop to get us to buy pictures and souvieniers(but calling it a workshop), i would rather have spend the time at the monasteries.
I know my negativ list was long, but the trip was really good, taking the time to go up and see these tings are worth the time and money. I only wish it had been a more full expirience, thats why it gets 3 stars, it is good, but that is because of the things you see, not the tour as a hole thing.
I highly recommend this tour and company. I contacted many tour agencies, and this one was so easy to work with as they spoke excellent english and responded immediately to all my questions and offered a very competitive price compared to other tours. They were also very accommodating to my schedule and worked out a custom tour for my party of 7. They provided a wonderful tour of central Greece. Meteora was breathtaking and unlike anything I've ever seen. Despite it's 4.5 hour drive from Athens, it was definitely worth it! Request Nikos for a driver as he made our trip so special and memorable. He was a lot of fun to talk to and was such a pleasure to spend almost three days with. He also was quite the unofficial tour guide by pointing out specific places we'd want to see or take pictures as well as giving us background and context for the sites we were seeing. We truly are so grateful to this tour company and Nikos for making our short trip to Greece magical.
