We booked the tour separately and figured we would be at the same hotel but were not. Took a while to find someone to check me in and he finally provided some into but was still in the dark about the full 3 day tour. Would have been nice to receive some info on how all this was going…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 21 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $1,319.3

Private 3-day hop from Athens to Mykonos and Santorini with fast ferries, hotel pickups, optional cruises, and time to roam.

“This is a nice option if you don’t have loads of time to still see the islands of Santorini and Mykonos. We were picked up promptly from our Athens hotel and taken to the port. Our driver went out of his way to make sure we were dropped off at the right ship. The boat ride was very long, but overall passed quickly. When we arrived at Santorini, we spent 15 minutes searching for our driver. We had to make several calls and text messages before someone came to find us. He didn’t seem to know anything about our travels and had us leave our luggage in a random cafe…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $1,560.27

Private 3-day tour linking Olympia, Delphi and Meteora with hotel pickup, tastings, and sunset monasteries in a crowd-light schedule.

“Worthwhile having a driver that knows the country. Certainly a time-saver. This itinerary covered places we (as a group) wanted to see: Corinth Canal, Olympia archaeological site, Delphi archeological site, Meteora monasteries. Online itinerary was accurate. Van had a mechanical issue that made significant noise and vibration in the passenger compartment (felt like bad wheel bearings or broken / bad wheel or bad tire). Very difficult to hear what the driver said for passengers in the third row. I wore ear plugs entire time in the van. Made the entire three-day trip relatively uncomfortable. Itinerary was very uneven. 12 hours of driving and touring on the first day. Might have…”

“We did the 3-day tour of ancient Corinth, Napflio, Mycenae, Epidauros, ancient Olympia, and Delphi. Our driver Petros FAR exceeded my expectations. He was so kind and polite and took great care of me and my husband and our two teenagers. He kept us engaged with many interesting details and thoughts about Greece throughout our drives. He’s a highly educated guy who has lived in the U.S. as well as different parts of Greece, and we truly enjoyed the conversation. We also took plenty of naps during our drives, which helped us be rested for each site. I recommend bringing along the travel pillow you use in the airplane. The…”

A private 3-day Athens route to Mycenae, Epidaurus, Nafplio, Delphi, and Meteora, with 4-star hotels, expert guides, and scenic stops.

“First of all the organization of this trip by Crispy Local was perfect for such a limited time. It enabled us to fulfill a lifelong dream of experiencing Ancient Greek archeological sites -- and letting us do it at our own snail paced, curious, inquisitive pace. The tour paired an excellent driver -- Giannis--with experienced tour guides/historians, a great itinerary and finally added awesome selections for restaurants and hotels that we would never have been able to find ourselves. Kudos to Giannis, our driver, who is such a fun, generous, delightful man! We enjoyed spending time with him so much-- which is something you might be concerned about if you're…”

15.3Day Greece tour with guide,tickets,hotel pick up

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 5 reviews · 3 days · from $571

Three days from Athens to Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia and Delphi, with English guide, tickets, and 4-star hotel stays.

“The transport is a little uncomfortable because it is small but it fulfills its function although the guide and the driver obstruct the passage with a suitcase and a box which is really annoying. Excellent hotels. The driver was bad, it seemed like he was driving cattle and because he was going so fast in the curves he made us dizzy and the guide really made me angry and upset. I felt discriminated against because when I asked about the time of return to Athens, I realized that he spoke Spanish and when I told him that I liked that, he answered me, in a rude and petulant way, that…”
