Superb and beautiful off roading in rural Athens experience! - Yvonne absolutely wow'd us on this trip. She is a brilliant guide, excellent off roader and the trip out around the olive groves, reservoir and beautiful streams/rivers was amazing. Yvonne even prepared hearty food including homemade marble cake - it was delicious! We would highly recommend this stunning trip out - we remain in awe at Yvonne's master handling of her superb off roader vehicle and she is an excellent teacher for those taking the wheel, too. It s such fun!

Fun, different and educational - A very fun experience for those who love adventure, nature and history.
We were picked up and dropped off from our accommodation by Yvonne who was an expert and informative host.
We drove off road through the beautiful area stopping to sample fresh figs, grapes and pistachios.
Plenty of photo stops to view the panoramic Marathon lake and learn the history of Marathon.
We had an opportunity to view and learn about the historic Dam at Marathon.
Tasty picnic snacks were also provided. We all enjoyed the experience very much.

Must do adventure when visiting Athens! - Yvonne was absolutely incredible. This is a must do experience when traveling to Athens! We were able to escape the city for a few hours and enjoy breathtaking views, see some of the beautiful natural flora of Greece, and experience one-of-a-kind adventures off road! Yvonne was very helpful with great recommendations for exploring Athens and providing great conversation for the ride (nice facts along the way too)! 10/10 would recommend!

Excellent at all levels - Excellent trip and great value for money, if like us you don’t want to be herded along with the crowd, this trip is for you, peaceful and calm with the added benefit of seeing some beautiful sites.
Yvonne is a fantastic guide and so very knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, her driving and sense of humour really made the experience a total joy. The snack stop further enforced the care and effort that Yvonne puts into her trips to make it a special trip for you, I have no hesitation in giving Six stars (if you could)
