Amazing, bespoke experience - This was 1 of the 4 tours I booked with Crispy Local during my vacation to Greece. All were fantastic. Both the Driver and Tour guide were excellent, spoke perfect English and made the experience very enjoyable by providing a private, bespoke experience. Our driver was a wealth of knowledge and made the drive seem short - he seemed to know everything about the region, the culture, the wildlife, and history. We arrived in Mycenae and met our guide, who navigated us through the ruins. Our questions tested her multiple university degrees and her knowledge was very impressive - she even remembered each of our names. She then jumped in her own car and met us in Epidaurus to walk us through more ruins and the impressive amphitheater. We said goodbye to our tour guide and the driver delivered us to Nafplio where he recommended a great local restaurant and gave us time to explore. Honestly, we fell in love with the quaint town of Nafplio during our short visit (with a small harbor and lots of little shops) and vowed to return for an extended visit in the future. During our full day, of driving and exploring, both the driver and the guide helped to pick the most impressive highlights during the trip so we maximized our short time in these amazing places.

Great tour - Dimitris was our driver and showed up in a very new Mercedes car which was very comfortable. It way my wife and I and we thoroughly enjoyed the four stops. Our driver filled us in on the country and its history as we went around, however he isn't allowed to enter the sites as he is not a licensed tour guide. We would definitely do a tour with this company and driver again.

We an absolutely... - We an absolutely wonderful time with our driver, Dimitris! He was very knowledgeable about so many things about Greece, made sure that we were fully stocked on water between stops, and even taught us some Greek words to use for the rest of our time in country! The Mycenae archaeological site was well worth the climb and the Epidaurus theatre was incredible. Dimitris also recommended a wonderful restaurant in Nafplio called Kellari that we thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, if you’re looking for an easy day trip where you still see a lot, this is a strong choice!

Peloponnese - Georgios was exceptional! We are on a "girls trip" and he let us take our time and stop as needed. Simply fabulous! I highly recommend him!
