Great sites, great history, excellent hotels and food - The bus rides were a bit long but you’re traveling all over Greece. The tour guide did a great job telling us about the history of Greece and letting some part of the ride just be peaceful views of the countryside. The sites we saw were beautiful and historically rich. The hotels were excellent and the food was far beyond our expectations (and we can be kind of picky). We are very glad we did this tour. We traveled with three kids, ages 16, 14 and 11.

Amazing tour! - Where do I begin…I had such an amazing time on this tour. Everything was so well organized which made the 3 days go so smoothly. Our guide, Joy, was awesome and knew so much about everything. I appreciated her passion, her stories and knowledge. The hotels we stayed in were beautiful and the staff were awesome. Delphi and Olympia were incredible and having Joy there to share so much history with us made it perfect. The short stop in Nafplio was so special too. What a beautiful town. It was nice to have everything planned and taken care of for me. I would definitely book through Chattours again!

Great tour with a wonderful guide - A great tour! Our guide, Jordan, really knew his stuff and was happy to share his knowledge with us. In addition to the wonderfully interesting educational experience, the views driving around can't be beat. The Amalia Hotels were all comfortable and nice to stay at.

Joy was a Joy - The guide makes the journey memorable, in this case it was Joy. This tour was the end of a 2 week stay in several parts of Greece and Turkey. We had 8 tour guides from different companies then Joy with Chatours who was far and above the best! A day with Joy is filled with, history lessons, language lessons, art appreciation, geology and of course archeology all rolled into delightful story telling. She was completely engaging. The trip ran like clockwork. All the guests were a lovely group from around the globe. The hotels and the food were good.
I won't remember all the names of places and sites we visited but I will remember the stories and the pleasureable experience. I would recommend this tour to other travelers.
Shout out to George the bus driver who made sure everyone's luggage was loaded after each hotel stay and was also the only bus driver in 9 tours who ask passengers to wear the seat belts! Safety first!

Great tour at a bargain price! - This three-day trip covers several widely-separated ancient sites in southern Greece, but it is well-organized and moves along at the perfect pace. Our knowledgeable and amusing guide Xenia provided interesting background information that allowed us to more fully understand and appreciate the significance of each area. Her anecdotes and asides kept the “lectures” from becoming dry or boring. She is the teacher that every student loved to have because she is able to communicate essential points AND to respond in depth to traveler’s questions. Xenia is truly one of the best guides I have encountered in my twenty-plus trips to Europe.
The rest stops and bathroom breaks were thoughtfully scheduled, and the site visits involving extended walking were never too tiring—even for this 75-year-old woman with knees that have seen better days. Kudos to Xenia for nearly always finding shady spots to stop and provide information during our walking tours.
Delphi was a real highlight (even though I did not climb all the way up to the stadium at the top in the 88 degree heat). Its small but excellent museum highlights key pieces found at the site and provides informative labels in both Greek and English.
Finally, the Amalia hotels—particularly the one in Delphi—are comfortable and offer relaxing amenities even though they handle multiple tour groups every single day. Everyone can find something to enjoy in their buffet meals, the pools are great (according to my friend), and the bars provide a relaxing gathering place with very reasonable prices. In summation, this 3-day tour was a terrific experience and a real bargain—the best possible way to see Corinth, Delphi, Epidaurus, Olympia, and Mycenae. (There is no way in the world that I would be willing to drive on those roads!)

Chat Tours is good - This tour was the highlight of our stay in Greece. Very little did go wrong, and when a hiccup did occur, our Chat Tours guide - Dimitri - would quickly sort it out. Our guide was knowledgeable and went beyond duty in attending to everybody's needs for comfort and information.

Good, bad and ugly - Good: our guide Georgiana was excellent and provided a lot of great information and you could definitely tell she cared.
Bad: our bus driver told us not to worry about our luggage when we got to the hotels. I highly recommend supervising him to make sure that he gets everything. He left a suitcase in the bus that I needed to get ready for dinner. They brought the suitcase that night but it arrived after dinner.
Ugly: so when we got to the stop I was waiting by the bus, the driver took my bags. This was around 824 and the bus is supposed to leave at 830. I walked over to a street market to grab a quick iced can coffee and I look up and the bus is driving. It is 825. My partner was on the bus screaming that I wasn’t on the bus and I was running after it. The driver finally stopped 4 city blocks after to let me on the bus. This level of service wasn’t acceptable at all. If it was 830 I would understand but it was 825. Make sure you are 20 minutes early and on the bus by 820 just to be safe.
