We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Maria-Elena - she is an archeologist by training, spoke fluent English and was a fun to spend time with and learn from. As an added plus, she was very comfortable and enjoyable for our teenage daughters too. Perfect experience for our family of 4 to learn about the Acropolis and see the museum. Thank you Maria-Elena and GreekingMe Tours!!!

We used greekingme to book many transfers and tours for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teens). We had a truly outstanding experience with every one of them. Our tours included: Private Acropolis Delights Tour (Acropolis & Food), Private Evening Tour with Meze Dinner, and Private Knossos & Food Tour. We also booked our transfers to/from the airport with greekingme as well as some more challenging logistics in Crete where we requested they hold our luggage while taking tours then transfer us to Elounda.
Every single driver and guide that we had was outstanding. They were all passionate about sharing their country. They were all also very well educated and spoken outstanding English. The guides were highlights of our trip. I really can't say enough positive things about them. We also felt the vehicles were very nice and the drivers were always where they were supposed to be and on time. Each of our tours involved a food component and all of them were outstanding.
I will give special note to our Heraklion food tour. I thought this one might be a bit questionable as Heraklion seemed to be more of an airport/port town. This food tour ended up being one of our teens' favorite activities (they rated it equal to the day we chartered a sailboat in Santorini!). We really enjoyed meeting the various merchants. And, the food was outstanding. It was my daughter's favorite meal of the trip!
Really, truly an outstanding experience booking with greekingme!
