Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery Full Day Private Tour

Firstly we were pleasantly surprise how John organised our tour: he arrived promptly, provided water, gave us interesting information about each site to be visited and give us plenty of advice. He was very patient when we were late, gave us option about our lunch. We felt very safe in his car. John has a lively personality and made it a very pleasurable trip. He did not mind too much when we were late returning to Athens. Absolutely brilliant trip!!!

My family group arranged 3 1/2 days of separate tours from our holiday base in Athens. The aim of our tours was to see as many archeological sites as possible to support my son’s ‘A’ Level Classical Civilisation studies. We managed to visit Delphi, Eleusis, Corinth, Mycenae, Epidauros and Olympia in our time with JG Athens Tours. John, our driver and company owner, was prompt every morning at our apartment to pick us up. He always greeted us with a cheerful welcome and was happy to chat to us throughout the drive. I was really amused when he told my son to put his phone away and enjoy the trip! John has a good knowledge of the sites we were to visit as well as the rich history, politics and culture of modern Greece. He supplemented the information he shared with various documentaries that he played on his tablet during the journeys. As we arrived at each site he gave us clear instructions about where to go for entry and where to meet after we were finished. At no point did he show anything but good humour about the time we spent at each location. We certainly got our money’s worth at each archeological site and it’s attached museum. As well as being an extremely convenient way to travel to each location, John also ensured that we had sufficient comfort breaks as we travelled to our destination. His recommendations for lunch were inspired, particularly the excellent restaurant that we visited in Delphi. Overall, we were delighted with the service that we got from JG Athens Tours. We were able to customise the tours to suit our needs, including finishing one of our tours at the airport so we could fly home. John was flexible during the tours and was happy to rearrange the schedule so that we could maximise our time at the sites. He offered little extras such as visits to memorials that commemorated the Greek victims of WWII. As well as being unfailingly cheerful and good company he was also genuinely helpful to us. After we left Athens he delivered a key to our apartment host that we had mistakenly failed to return. This was in no way his responsibility but he did not give this favour a second thought. We very much hope to visit Greece again in the near future. Of course, we would not think of anything other than hiring JG Athens Tours the next time we are there.

George the driver was a wealth of information. He arrived on time and immediately made us all feel very comfortable. The tour was very flexible suited to our needs and travelling with kids, it was at the perfect pace. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and felt very safe at all times .
