Excellent three day trip. Each venue well worth seeing and our guide was brilliant.

Review by: Judy W	April 2012
Tour was comprehensive. Disappointed in the quality of the meals at the hotels and felt trapped at lunch - it would have been nicer if we had the option of eating in a town rather than being overcharged.

Review by: AudreyH	January 2012
The tour was excellent. Had a small group of 13 and we all got on well. Our tour guide Daphne was absolutely wonderful. Informative and funny, she made ancient Greece come alive. The hotels on both nights were great with friendly staff and great food. Would like to commend our bus driver Athansi for his safe driving.

Review by: Diana C	November 2011
This is an awesome tour - very knowledgeable guide sharing the people, history and mythologies behind these sites. Food was catered for, and the guide astutely picked out some really nice joints. Lodging was very comfortable too. Highly recommend this one. ;)

I would thoroughly recommend this tour._br/_ Greece is a wonderful country and this tour gives you a good overview of the land and it's history. _br/_ A little rushed in parts, but you'll never get bored.

We really enjoyed our three day tour. It was fast paced. We were up very early but that was great because we missed most of the other tour buses. The number of people on our tour was small but that was good because you got to know the other people and also it enabled you to ask questions of the tour guide. The tour guide was very informative and very knowledgable. He was able yo answer any questions put to him. The accommodation was of a very high standard and the overall cost of the tour was very reasonable, I would certainly recommend this tour.

Review by: Mary H	October 2011
The tour guide was very good and bus driver also was good. The hotels were only fair. The bus was too old and had 3 problems on the trip. First a water problem, then an air conditioner problem then we lost the to turbo on the last day and had to limp home very slow.

Review by: KAREN	September 2011
Excellent guide, coach, hotels and locations. So many people do Athens and the Greek Islands and miss out on the rest of Greece, and we can't recommend enough this trip to see some lovely country side as well as amazing history in just 3 days. The magnificent view from the hotel in Delphi was an added bonus. Not one complaint.

Review by: Alexander M	September 2011
Everything was excellent, we saw all the places and took many photos. The guide was speaking good English and gave thorough explanations of Greek historical and mythological events related to each place.

Review by: Beverly L	September 2011
Aside from the website listing a hotel as a pickup point when it wasnt and I had to take a public bus to a different hotel (taxi's were on strike) this was a fabulous tour and I highly recommend it. George, the tour guide was extremely knowlegable and a lot of fun

Review by: Stephanie K	September 2011
Our tour guide was excellent! The sites were great; the tour delivered what was promised. I would have preferred having more free time in the cities versus lunch 'options' but that is a personal preference._br/_ Unfortunately we had a different tour guide for the return to Athens from Delphi and there no information provided at all which made it a very long trip back; I would have preferred having the same tour guide.

Review by: Katharina I	August 2011
Super guide, John, really knew his stuff and could answer all our questions, and then some! Good mix of stuff to see as an introduction to Classical Greece! Nafplion was only a 10 minute photo-stop, but the rest were really informative and altogether a great experience.

Review by: cab0118	July 2011
Our guide, Antonio was amazingly knowledgeable, and our driver Dionysus was incredible on the winding roads. I felt very safe. However, we were on a bus where approximately 1/2 of the people were Italian, so the Guide had to repeat everything in both English and Italian. This got very tiring after some time. At the sites, he was wonderful, but because he had to repeat everything in dual languages, there was little or no time for questions. We upgraded to the "first class hotels" but the hotel in Olympia (the Amalia) was awful and not very clean. The hotel in Delphi (Amalia Delphi) was much better. Food was very good. Though the trip wasn't "perfect" the experience was definately worth it. My favorite part was Delphi which was beautiful. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is physically fit enough to walk and climb a bit.

Review by: shane	July 2011
It was incredible. The bus driver was awesome, the tour guide was the best, so knowledgeable and full of stories about the history and mythology. The accommodation was very nice and plan of the tour was great. I could not have asked for any more, it was so good.

Review by: Mayra v P	June 2011
3 day tour was a great idea. We were able to view some of these great sights and enjoy comfortable accomadations. The only thing we were not prepared for was the long hours on the bus as we drove along the winding roads from one place to the other. Overall the trip was a unique experience.

Review by: Flightless	June 2011
So glad we did this trip. Comfortable bus, incredible guide and very safe driver. A great mix of driving, walking, and wandering in museums. It needs to be said that Greece is not an easy country for elderly or disabled people. If you want to take this tour be sure you can manage steps and walking up hills. An elderly couple on our trip found the trip interesting but too tiring We loved the trip though!

Review by: Edward N	June 2011
Very professional with a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide that made the sites we visited come alive.

Review by: Sandeep Pothuri	June 2011
We had a fantastic time at the tour, It was very well organized, the guide did a very good job, he was thoroughly knowledgeable about Greece and its History. I would recommend this tour.

Review by: Sinead G	May 2011
Excellent tour and very informative tour guide - he made you feel like you had travelled back in time.

Review by: Gail R	May 2011
This was a great trip, the guide Lila was excellent and very accomodating to special requests. Would recommend it.

Review by: Tara K	May 2011
Great trip!! Many long hours on a bus, but many frequent stops to break it up. I traveled with my 11m old baby and she did GREAT considering how long she was on the bus for. There were so many things to see, I didn't even realize to what extent, so I am very pleased that I went on this tour. Out tour guide was probably one of thee most intelligent men, history wise, I have seen in a long time. Great knowledge and background everywhere we went. The hotels we stayed in (not first class) were stunning. I was over impressed! Lunches on the tour are not included. We were even taken to a few special places that were not included in the tour. Such as, stopping to see a pottery shop that had been in the family for all their lives. I got myself an authentic hand made piece of pottery! Hotel pick up and drop off was nice. I was slightly confused in the beginning, since we had to transfer buses twice in the trip. All in all, I would highly recommend this tour! It's long enough, but not to long!!

Review by: Thet Su N	May 2011
It is worth visiting midland and north Greece. Lots of historical place and interesting stories there. Lots of memorary there and love the drive from Olumpia to Delphi along the west cost of greece.

Review by: ALAN ROGER D	April 2011
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful -and efficient. We had only two minor faults - one the first night of our trip the hotel was full of school children who were very well behaved but because of the numbers very noisy and on the second night we had a similar problem but with cyclists rather than school children. Otherwise, everything ran smoothly and efficiently and very much on time - hotels were good and food also

Review by: chicleung	April 2011
The trip was little too relaxing for me (30 years old) as Olympia and Delphi had absolutely nothing to do other than the historical sites. No wi-fi at the hotel in Olympia and in Delphi you can only use it in the lobby and only 50% of the time was working. It is just unacceptable for a 3/4 star hotel. Other than that, everything else was excellent.

Review by: Frederick D	March 2011
The guide and experience were superb! The hotels were adequate but clearly not first class. The hotel at Delphi is clearly in need of renovation. This showed both in our room and in the common areas. For instance the carpets in our room (as well as in other rooms) was well worn as were the blankets.

Review by: SHAUNDA C	March 2011
Fantastic!!!

Review by: Mabbu S	January 2011
We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 day classical tour and our tour guide Leela was an excellent tour guide with lots of patience and knowledge.We had a great time in immersing ourselves in the Greek ancient history and the Hotel accomodations were excellent with comfort ,hospitality and Greek food._br/_ We will treaure these memories for our life time_br/_ The Prasad family

Review by: DANIEL V	November 2010
very nice tour including breakfast and nice dinner. good option to travel arround if you dont speak greek. very nice views and sightseeing. Forget about internet connection at hotels. enjoy and forget any worry while traveling.

Review by: Karen W	November 2010
Our tour would have been fantastic - if we left the tour guide behind in Athens. The sites were amazing and we know we would have not seen them otherwise, everything else was a dissappointment. The tour guide treated us like children. After she announced our first day itinerary, she actually said 'it is going to be a long day and now that you know, I don't want to hear any complaints'. Seriously? We were given no time lines for our day and didn't eat lunch until 3pm on the first day - after being picked up at 7:30am and told we were not allowed to eat on the bus. The guide did not stop talking during the over 8-10 hours on the bus. It was our fellow travelers who made the trip for us. Granted most of our bonding time was spent complaining about our guide. The hotels are horrible. I am not a 5 star traveler and was grossed out by the 'first class' hotels. These hotels exist purely to house the travelers for these tours. The hotel staff was rude and did not fix our broken air condition. When they say lunch is on your own - it is on your own at one designated restaurant they choose for you. Good food and not over-priced, but you have no choice. Three day tour is part of a four day tour and when we were dropped off to meet the other tour who would take us back, we were not told we would be waiting for more than 2 hours. Great sites. Without the tour guide issues you will be happy.

Review by: MOHAMMED A	October 2010
We had a fantastic time on this tour. The drive to Olympia and Delphi was absolutely beautiful and breath-taking! The trip was very well organized with ample time at each place. The accommodation was nice at both Olympia and Delphi. The hotel at Delphi had a lovely view! Our guide Lillian was great and had amazing knowledge of Greek history which made the visits to all the archeological sites and museums even more interesting. Our group was also really nice and we all had a fun 3 days together! We would highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Greece.

Review by: Itay I	October 2010
Overall the tour is very well organised and well planned. However we thought the guide who was very knowledgeable was giving too many not so interesting facts. She should have given some more exciting stories with some sense of humor to spice-up the explanations which seemed tiresome at times. We also preferred to have more choice about the time scheduling of the tour, for example in Mycina we were not giving enough time to look at the museum and instead we were taken to a pottery shop for around 45 minutes. On the last day we waited 2 hours to get back to Athens from Delphi and then we were taken again to some shops only after half an hour ride to Athens. That wasted time could have been used for us in Athens. I will recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in ancient Greece. The tour guide also gave us some very interesting highlights about Greece in the current time.

Review by: Anne F	October 2010
Excellent tour. The guide, Irini was marvellous and her historical and contemporary knowledge of Greece was outstanding. The driver, George, was also excellent and his negotiation of narrow roads was superb. I felt safe the entire trip. Thanks - will recommend to all my friends and family. Thanks Anne Fraser, Adelaide, South Australia

Review by: Xin Z	October 2010
This tour is reasonably ok. However, I think the sites we are visiting are too much repeat. Tour guide is great.

Review by: Carolyn S	October 2010
This trip was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. "Cleo" our guide, was the best!!! We learned so much and the hotels were very nice indeed. Our guide had a firm grasp of mythology, early Greek history etc. and made it all so interesting to us. We have used Viator before and would not hesitate to do so again/

Review by: Vivian T	October 2010
The tour was fantastic. The travel guide was experienced and friendly and as we had a small group of 10 we really got the benefit of that.

Review by: Paul D	August 2010
an amazing trip through classical Greece with a knowledgeable guide.

Review by: Sydney L, United States of America	July 2010
Kaliope was extremely knowledgeable about all things dealing with classical Greece. I could have listened to her all day. It was truly a joy to be in such a wonderful setting with such a lovely and informed woman. George was an excellent driver and safely guided us around all the hairpin turns around the mountains of the Peloponnese. In all, the trip was wonderful.

Review by: Andrea S, United States of America	June 2010
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and you got to see alot of the historial sites in a short period of time.

Review by: Anonymous	June 2010
The sites visited were great and it was nice that it was hassle-free. Having dinner provided was also excellent. I wasn't so much happy about being left behind at the temple in Delphi though and it was poor form for the tour guide to continue on as if nothing happened.

Review by: Patrick S, United Kingdom	May 2010
A great experience which I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore some of the major sites of Ancient Greece in just a few days. The tour was well organised and our guide was a walking encyclopaedia - with a sense of humour as well !

Review by: Simone S, New Zealand	May 2010
The sites that you visit are absolutely amazing and so well maintained. The tour itself is well organised and the hotels that you stay in are lovely and in great locations, especially the Delpi hotel - lovely!!

Review by: Jeff S, United States of America	May 2010
The places and sites we were taken to were beyond description. But there are other tours that offer the same itinerary. What made ours outstanding was having a knowledgeable tour guide. Emilios made all the difference!

Review by: Nicholas R, United States of America	April 2010
The sites are spectacular by themselves, but if it weren't for our guide, it would have been just an ordinary visit. Our guide was extraordinary - very, very knowledgeable, humorous, considerate of our time and interests, and explained what we were seeing in interesting and innovative ways. Definitely made our holiday a wonderful experience!

Review by: Jon A, United States of America	December 2009
All good. Long bus rides but that unable to be avoided.

Review by: John B, United States of America	December 2009
We had a great time! The sights were terrific, the people wonderful, the food and lodging good and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. We saw places and sights of Greece we simply would not have seen on our own.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	October 2009
Great tour. Really worth it. Lovely hotels

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	August 2009
Our tour guide was excellent very knowledgeable and friendly and bus driver was very friendly and helpful. The tour was wonderful and I would recommend it and do it over again. Note prepare that the first day of the trip is full schedule. But very well planned. The only thing we felt that the Olympia accomodations may need to be updated. Bring your bathing suits both locations had beautiful pools.
