Perfect day in monemvasia - The trip was perfect, it was a long distance but the attention and service made it very light. Excellent driver (Harry) has explanations for every question and always was very kind and profesional. Everything was punctual and well done. Exceed by far the expectations by far.

Amazing, bespoke experience - This was 1 of 4 tours I booked with Crispy Local during our vacation in Greece. Our plan was to stay in Athens and take day-trips to expand our experiences by seeing as much of Greece as possible. This driver was fantastic and easy conversation made the trip seem to go by quickly. We first went to Sparta (or Sparti, as they call it) and toured the ruins and the statue of King Leonidas. We then proceeded to Monemvasia where the driver recommended a small restaurant with a great view - I think it was the best meal we had on our visit. At first, Monemvasia seemed like a maze, until we realized that all the streets seemed to run in parallel and were mostly connected. The water was SO blue, and clear it was amazing.

Wonderful - We had a wonderful day on this tour. Giorgos picked us up right on time and the car was clean and comfortable. He provided us with background information on the places we would be visiting and we enjoyed pleasant conversation and learned about Greek culture. There was a lot of driving involved for sure, but we were able to relax and request rest stops as needed. Monemvasia is spectacular! I would highly recommend.
