Vasilios was helpful from the moment he picked us up. His knowledge of history added depth to our trip that we could not have pulled from books or the internet. He was very professional and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a private car tour. We stopped for lunch at a wonderful restaurant, Maria's with great view and equally great food. The wine, was just house wine, but it was passable. More on other restaurants in Athens and surrounding islands in my other reviews
Dear David, Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your tour. Warm wishes from all the team at Warmpenguin!
Tolis came to collect us punctually and brought us to the Corinth Canal, Micene, Epidaurus theater, and Nafplio and took special care of our additional interests and desires (nice seafood lunch, ceramics workshop). Corinth was impressive, Micene was unbelievable, lunch was really nice, Epidaurus interesting and Nafplio lovely. Tolis is also a great guy to get to know, very informative and knowledgeable. We had a great day! Thank you.
Great Driver thoroughly enjoyed day. Had already seen Athens and wanted something different. Private excursion was great
We took two tours with this company: Highlights of the Peloponnese and Delphi. Drivers were excellent and knowledgeable. They were also flexible and responsive to our requests for slight deviations from the schedule. Cars were comfortable. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much from all of us. We hope to see you back soon!
Mycenae is really quite fascinating as an ancient city site, like a Machu Picchu only much older and less remote. Epidaurus has the most well preserved and still functional Greek-Roman theatre in this part of the Mediterranean. The day trip did not quite give us sufficient time to explore Nafplio fully but what we saw was worth the trip. Taking this private day trip was a good option for us as we could have added flexibility on how much time to spend on each place and Yanni was far more than just a driver-guide. He was knowledgeable on the history of the sites and answered all our questions quite expertly and in excellent English. Highly recommended.
<p>Ioannis was wonderful!!! He was so interested and passionate in teaching us the history and not just being a driver, which was perfect for me and my group. He was gracious, had water for us on all stops and was just wonderful. Highly recommend!!</p>
Our first full day in Greece was spent on this tour. There are 8 of us on the bus after a 45 minute drive we picked up our guide, Emilios Panoussopoulos. Emilios was very friendly and had an extensive historical knowledge. The break for lunch was amazing. The establishment looked like something out of a wedding. Our lunch was a 5 course meal and absolutely fantastic! Sadly I cannot remember the name. When i Greece take advantage of this tour you will NOT be disappointment.
<p>Val was excellent - knowledgeable, professional and personable. We had a great time!</p>
