Our family has a habit of ranking every facet of our trips...best location; best meal; best activity; best guide; etc. After 10 days in Greece on a boys trip (Athens, Santorini, and Corfu) and multiple tours....Maria is the undisputed champ (although Demetrios and his bike tour in Corfu almost had her beat)! Sure, the points of interest were amazing...the setting of the Temple of Poseidon yielded post card/Instagram quality shots for sure...but the real bang for your buck is finding a guide you immediately connect with and miss when it's time to say good-bye. That's Maria! Learned some new Greek phrases; taught her a couple English figures of speech as well. Great stuff! You won't be disappointed.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Maria made such a lasting impression and helped make your Greece adventure so memorable. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. We hope to welcome you back to Greece again soon! 🇬🇷😊
It was a great time, friendly and efficient! Explained sites along the way gave the history of things. Gives you time to take photos and just be at each location didn’t feel rushed at all.
Thank you very much! We’re glad you enjoyed the experience and the relaxed pace. It means a lot to hear you felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the tour!
We booked Pericles for our honeymoon and he was a fantastic tour guide! The ride was comfortable and he is extremely knowledgeable. There was ample time to see the temple and enjoy the stops. Will be recommending his company to everyone. The atmosphere for the ride was relaxed and professional. Will be booking with him again whenever we are back in Athens.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot. We’re delighted you had such a memorable honeymoon experience and would be happy to welcome you back anytime in Athens!
Amazing experience, we did have to pay for our ticket into the Temple of Poseidon site so it was 310€ for the two of us total (including the price of the tickets into the site) so thats ok, only an extra 20€ from the trip price. It was about a 4-5 hour trip, the drive was beautiful and our guide kept us informed and interested the whole time there and back! It wasn’t crowded, we went around 2:00pm and got back around 6:30pm, leaving right when the big crowds arrived! There is lots of information at hand on the plaques around the site so we got a little extra info even after our guide explained the history on the way up to the entrance! Its an excursion i would absolutely recommend! Would definitely book with Perclites again! Wish we had done it sooner in our trip!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the trip and that Pericles made it even more memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again!
Our guide was Perclites. He was a wealth of knowledge of the history and spots we stopped it along the way. Very engaging. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that Pericles made the experience engaging and informative. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
This was our first free day in Athens prior to embarking on a 10 day cruise and it was absolutely splendid… Our driver and guide Periklis met us promptly at our hotel for pick up at 9:30 AM and drove us along the Athens coastline en route to the temple of Poseidon… The stops along the way, and the temple Poseidon were indeed interesting, but the best part of our trip was spending time with a wonderful, open and candid Greek, who shared so much about the history of his country, the people of Greece, the political climate/issues and anything we wanted to know about… we laughed, shared stories, stopped at a restaurant for the best calamari I've ever eaten in my life, and never felt rushed or pressured the entire day… we experienced more than a site seeing tour or journey to Poseidon… Today we made a new friend… Someone I would not hesitate to look up and visit with again on our next trip to Athens. . . This is what a vacation is all about.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly happy you enjoyed your day along the Athens Riviera and your visit to the Temple of Poseidon. It means a lot to hear that the experience felt more like spending time with a friend than just a tour. We hope to welcome you back to Athens again soon!
Really enjoyed our drive to and from Cape Sounion with Pericles. Comfortable car for our family of 4. Some thoughtful touches such as bottled waters and umbrellas for us as well.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour with Dimitris and found it both wonderful and informative. It was our pleasure to be part of your journey following the footsteps of Apostle Paul. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
My husband went on this trip and Dimitrios was such an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly and great for conversation in general. He was happy to tailor the trip to our needs and really helpful. He also gave us some good recommendations for things to do and food to try. The temple, marina, and lake were all great spots and we had an excellent time. I would highly recommend this. Since we were there in October there was almost no one in any of the spots so we were able to get in and out and grab unobstructed pictures.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re very happy you had such a great experience with Dimitrios and enjoyed the beautiful spots. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Kyriakos was excellent — kind, friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about all the sights. He made our journey smooth and enjoyable with his expert driving and insightful commentary. We truly appreciated having him take us to the Temple of Poseidon and beautiful sights along the way.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re very glad you enjoyed your tour with Kyriakos and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Dimitrios was a fabulous driver and tour guide! His knowledge of the area and his talks about the history of Greece were amazing! So glad he was our guide - we couldn’t have had a better leader than him!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tour with Dimitrios—he’ll be delighted to know he made such a great impression!
