“We toured the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum with Iris as our guide and had a wonderful four hours. If we had visited on our own, we probably would have walked through quickly without fully understanding or appreciating the site. Thanks to Iris, the experience was both engaging and informative, especially with the mythological stories that brought everything to life. We visited with our children, aged 11 and 13, and they listened with great interest throughout. They even said afterward how glad they were that we joined a guided tour. A special thank you to our guide Iris — her energy, communication, and the knowledge she shared made the experience…”

“Maria was an exceptional guide! She provided a wealth of information throughout the tour and was extremely gracious during the times of trouble I experienced. When I was knocked over by a couple of dogs that were fight she took extra special care of me until I was able to resume the tour. She even offered me her own bicycle to finish the tour with because of the damage done to my bike caused by the dog fight. Her knowledge of the history of your wonderful country greatly enhanced each stop along the way. One of the best experiences we had during our two-week visit to Greece.”

“Our guide George was so kind, caring, and informative. The trip was immaculately planned and every detail felt thought out. I really appreciated the details of getting to stop for a moment to take photos of scenic Arahova from the lookout at the end of the tour and the fact that we stopped at a restroom before plunging into Athens traffic on the way home. Delphi itself was absolutely gorgeous. The ruins were well preserved and having the mountains of Greece as a backdrop made it all the more awe inspiring.
