A Journey in Ancient Footsteps - Our driver and guide, CHRISTOS ZERVAS, arrived on time and was neatly dressed in a suit. He immediately reviewed the itinerary, and we discussed our priorities for the trip. As we are Seniors, and had just climbed the Acropolis in Athens the previous day, we chose to visit sites, but without the strenuous walking over ruins. Chris readily answered our questions on the way to the Corinth Canal. We asked about mythology, historical events, Greek culture, and prominent persons in history. He answered thoughtfully, and was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects. At the Corinth Canal, he used a large permanent map display to give us an overview of geography and history. We visited all of the previously chosen sites, and also were treated to the high elevation sites of Akronafplio and Acrocorinth, with scenic views. We ate lunch at the Cafe Castro (our choice) at the entrance to the Acrocorinth Castle Fortress. (Which we chose not to hike!) The owner welcomed us like family! We also decided not to visit museums, as we felt that that we had experienced an excellent overview of Ancient Greek history at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. Instead, we visited red poppies blooming in fields, had delicious Italian gelato at the family owned Antica Gelateria di Roma in the beautiful seaport town of Nafplio, and were blessed by Chris relating the story of the Apostle Paul, and his ministry in Ancient Corinth. This experience was more like spending a day with a favorite nephew, than a purchased tour. I would highly recommend it!!

Greek adventure to the Peloponnese region - We had a wonderful tour with Ioannis from Yomadic. He arrived right on time - actually a few minutes early and was a safe and efficient driver always pointing out things along the way. He provided helpful suggestions during our tour including suggestions for deviations due to our preferences. The lunch recommendation was amazing! All in all it was a wonderful day!

Take a Peloponnese road trip - Visited in February. Have been in summer. Love Peloponnese. Many travelers arrive in Greece and head out to the islands when Peloponnese has so much to offer from amazing ancient still inhabited towns (Monemvasia) to Olympia, home of the games and beaches. I only had 5 days for this road trip and a friend along who had not visited before so we focused on SE. We hit Old Corinth, Mycenae, Epidavros, Nafplio (nice town), Monemvasia, Gytheio and Mystras. If I did it again I'd skip Gytheio in winter. Dead. The roads were easy going and the views great. Stay off the highways and enjoy the two lane roads. Car rental from Athens Koukaki neighborhood was less than $100. Fuel and tolls were about the same for 4 door SEAT.

Great multi-site experience. - The variety of sites was outstanding and the views were great. We took a ton of pictures to remember this tour. The driver was terrific, articulate and knowledgeable about Greek history and the sites we visited. I would use this company again.

He sent arrival time texts, showed up fashionably early, had water, spoke solid English, was a careful driver, knew his history, had good stories, planned the stops well, gave us options, and wrapped it all up with a lovely restaurant with a gorgeous view.

Excellent - Michael was amazing. His knowledge is impeccable. He was such a gentleman and patient with us when we were running a bit late or we wanted to spend more time in one area. Loved that it was just 2 of us on this tour. His recommendations and attentiveness were amazing. He made our tour amazing and would highly recommend going on a tour with him.

A wonderful journey with a new friend - A wonderful journey. Andrea’s was helpful, accommodating, and made us feel welcome and safe throughout the day. A running history lesson for the day. Dropped us very close to entry points and was at exit points exactly as planned. A stress-free day. And a wide choice of restaurants in Napfli for lunch.
