“Amazing Private trip with Manos - My wife and I did this trip and we were SO lucky to get Manos as our driver. He is very knowledgeable, patient, accommodating, and provides valuable suggestions for your time in Athens. Literally the best experience. He even went above and beyond to help us retrieve a lost item at the airport!” (Reviewed at: 2025-01-24)

“A day back in time - We took our tour to Thermopylae & Delphi with our guide Costa. From the moment Costa met us at our hotel, he was ensuring we were comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. His commentary and our discussions along the way were always engaging and interesting. Even when it wasn’t directly related to the tour. He took a genuine interest in our country (Australia) and the similarities and differences to Greece. The Delphi site is amazing and worth the long climb to the stadium perched at the top of the mountain. Our optional lunch in the village was tasty home-made fare with stunning views over the valley to the gulf. All in all a great day out.” (Reviewed at: 2025-05-14)
