Our guide Marianna was excellent, she is very knowledgeable about all of the sites and Greek history overall. She was very patient and respectful of all guests. The sites we visited were exceptional and much better than I anticipated.

Our guide Angeliki and driver Lucas were amazing! I would recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in learning more about the rich history of Greece. We chose the 3 star hotel option, the first and last hotel were fine but the second hotel in Delphi was in desperate need of some maintenance and deep cleaning though.

This is a review for the 4 day Classical Greek Tour- I enjoyed my time overall with the group and think that this is good selection for the cost. But there were many missteps that they need to change: 1. The Hotel in Delphi was terrible. I did the tourist class, but this was subpar. The food, the room. The location was great. They also need to let people know that only the tourist class stayers get to be in the town to walk around and shop (those who had the resort option had to stay remote). 2. Gaining 30 more people after our visit in Delphi was chaotic and I feel bad for those who had to shift mid-trip. It also put a little distance between everyone personally. 3. The stops at the Corinth canal and Naupalia were way too short. We didn't even have time to just go to the bathroom nevermind visit the site. 4. Due to the government, bathrooms onboard the bus cannot be used so we made other stops. 5. The stop in Thermophylae is worthless. You see a statue and don't even have time to see the other one, read the inscription or view the territory where the battle occurred. 6. Information should be given BEFORE the trip about the monasteries' dress code. Luckily, I knew but still was not all that prepared since 'trousers' was not understood - you just need to cover your arms and legs (men don't have to in the women's monastery). I really enjoyed "angela" and "john" (Αγγελική and Γιάννης)! Very knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly.

Absolutely wonderful. Marianna and Lucas made this trip so enjoyable. Marianna was a wealth of information and history. She made our tour come alive. She took such wonderful care of us. We saw so many beautiful places that we could never have done on our own. The accommodations were so nice as well. Lucas - our driver- was the best! Thank you for all that you did to make sure we got to our destinations safely and taking care of our luggage. What a way to end our time in Greece. Highly recommend this trip to see so much more than Athens!.
