Amazing beyond words!! Our tour guide, Stephas was incredible! His presentation and style kept me involved and anticipatory for the next chapter. He can be likened to your favorite history teacher if you had one. The Mercedes coach was very comfortable and our driver Mikey moved us through each location safely and with ease. I highly recommend this tour!!

The 4-day classical Greece tour was fantastic. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of Greece history and a fantastic story teller. All the archaeological sites were incredible. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who's interested in ancient Greek history.

Unfortunately, I've forgotten the names of our guide and driver but they really took care of us and made sure that everyone is enjoying the trips. The guide was very knowledgeable and she shared a lot of history while we were on our way to the different sites. It does get a bit hectic but the bus was very comfortable so you can get some shut-eye in between stops. This is a great trip to see all the sites, in the very capable and professional hands of our guide and driver.

The tour was fantastic. The hotels we stayed at were nice and the food outstanding. The sites we visited were out of this world.. But what really made the tour the best was our tour guide. He name was Effi SP and I have never met a guide more personable and knowledgeable. She knows here history and facts. Her personality is perfect when spending 4 days on a bus with strangers. Well Done.

Although I use Viator quite often, this was the first time I have taken a bus tour. This trip exceeded my expectations! We visited the specified sites, and a few more quick stops were added along the way.

We went with Dimitra. She knows her stuff and managed to take us for a thrilling ride in the world of Ancient Greece. My favorite spot was Olympia, which was breathtakingly beautiful with all the blooming flowers amidst the temples. The other sites that we visited were also good. The Amalia chain of hotels that we stayed in were great. Good, spacious rooms and good food. I recommend this trip to everyone.

Joy was the most learned, warm guide, with a great sense of humour. She managed the tour and the guests perfectly. It would be so hard to get to all these places by driving yourself and it would take you so much longer. Joys knowledge and generosity were magnificent, I hung off every word she said. Lunch on the last day is average but you are up in the mountains and theres nothing else around. The rest of the meals were good and the hotels fine. The driver is very skilled. Really lovely and interesting people on the tour too - hi Natalia! Thank you Chat Tours.

Our tour guide Mathew had passable English, and was nice, but didn't like questions on our small group and sometimes gave false information such as on Greek art the little I know about it. Some of the history holes I filled by my independent trips to the archeology, benaki, and cyclades museums in Athens. Food was really not great and we stopped in tourist shops, which some people loved. Otherwise it was well organised and we covered a lot of ground we couldn't have on our own, and doing the trip in winter made for few crowds, if imperfect weather - no views in Meteora but that was the lease important site to me. The murals and such were not great, the site is spectacular, but I got the idea.

If you go to Greece ....DO THIS TOUR....If you get our guide Joy. You will leave with profound knowledge of Greek history, understanding of Greek culture and a new friend. I would actually do the tour over again. Joy is honestly overqualified with her knowledge to be a tour guide. We had a blast and were safe everywhere we went.

This tour was sooooo amazing and worthwhile! Our tour guide Elena was lovely and the bus driver a good and careful driver especially reassuring with some of the high, narrow, and curvy roads we travelled on!. Every one of the days of this tour was a wonderful experience and each site different and unique. It was even better than we hoped and expected it would be! The hotels stayed at are ok - but what you can only expect on a tour like this... they were clean and spacious, nice bathrooms, but don't expect top notch food, tho it was good enough most of the time a few times just barely. The worst issue however is that beds at the Amalia chain, where you stay on this tour each night, are atrociously hard - there are springs that give underneath but the platform above the springs is a solid hard plastic sheathing with just a thin foam covering - just about the worst beds I have ever slept on in all my 54 years. It might work for back or stomach sleepers, but if you are a side sleeper with some back issues, really awful nights of sleep. The tour however was so great, that I am still amazingly happy that we did it. I did bring along a thin inflatable pillow having read prior reviews that warned of the bed issues - and I used it to support my back/hips - it did help. Don't know what I would have done without it. I am grateful for the warnings I read, which is why I am also going to reiterate the same warnings. But if you can go into it knowing about the beds and sometimes mediocre food - definitely do this tour. It was an experience of a lifetime and otherwise very, very well done.

Review by: vickynicolev, January 2018
Fantastic tour definitely recommend the 4 day to see meteora. Guide was organised and very informative. Amalia hotels are not all equal though and some rate from lovely 4star to 2star. Bus driver was great and always took us to the door and helped us off the bus. Visited some great sites :)

Great tour. Well organized. Good information. Would only change lunch restaurants, not the best Greek food in those places. Great and very knowledgeable guide.
