“Me and my partner really enjoyed my tour, everything organised perfectly from start to finish. Highly recommend!”
A long Athens day trip to Meteora: visit 3 monasteries inside, spot all 8 from viewpoints, see Badovas caves, and enjoy Greek lunch.
“Meteora was spectacular, truly a place that everyone should experience. Our guide Clement was very knowledgeable and informative about the history of the area. It’s a very long day but definitely worth it. The only disappointing aspect was the included lunch, the food left a lot to be desired.”
A guided day trip from northeast Crete to Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Spinalonga by boat, with free time and a swim stop.
“Lovely day trip. The guide was very good and the transportation was spot on. Loved visiting both places and it was well worth the extra 20€ entrance fee into the island of Spinalonga. We would highly recommend this trip.”
Luxury Santorini catamaran with hotel pickup, open bar, Greek lunch, snorkel stops, volcanic hot springs, and sunset views near Oia.

Small-group day trip from Athens to Delphi’s Oracle ruins and museum, plus Arachova village time and scenic Parnassus views.
“It was everything I expected and more. The small group size was perfect, and everyone was on time. Both Delphi and Arachova are truly worth visiting, full of history and breathtaking views. The trip felt relaxed, with enough time to visit the museum and wander around the town. Everything was very well organized, and the…”
Guided Delphi day trip from Athens with Temple of Apollo, Delphi Museum, photo stops in Arachova, and optional lunch. English tour.
“The pluses. Delphi itself was amazing to see. The area is beautiful. With respect to the tour itself. Our driver did an amazing job. Our tour guide was excellent.

Day trip by fast ferry to Symi and Panormitis Monastery with free time in town and a seasonal Saturday swim stop at Nymporio Bay.
“Symi is a beautiful island, well worth visiting. we could easily have spent longer there, and we had 4 hours on the island as our trip didn't include a swimming stop. panormitis monastery was fine. I had overlooked that this wasn't a guided stop and I would have liked that, as we didn't get any…”

Santorini day trip from Heraklion: high-speed ferry, guided Oia and Fira, about 5.5 hours to explore, plus optional hot springs.
“In the morning getting the tickets and boarding the ferry was seamless. Though the trip took 2:30h there and back, me and my girlfriend were not used to sea so obviously we got sick, thankfully pharmacy at Santorini fixed it for us on the way back. The island is beautiful, we started at Fira instead…”
Guided day trip to Delos from Mykonos with a ferry ride, wireless headset tour, and well-preserved ruins like Apollo’s Temple.
“Don’t even think of going to Delos without a guide! There’s just too much to see and take in on the island, and even with a guide you’ll only be scratching the surface. With that said, Celia, who was our guide, was superb. Insightful, funny and full of knowledge, she made the tour feel too…”
Rhodes day trip to Butterfly Valley and Seven Springs. Shaded walks, free time, AC pickup, and tunnel cool-off. Tickets extra.

Our driver Apostolo DiCaprio(hope im spelling the name right) made the experience much more enjoyable — a true gentleman who kept everyone smiling!”
A 10-hour Delphi and Arachova day trip from Athens with a guided UNESCO site, museum stops, and mountain village views.
“Absolutely wonderful tour of Delphi. The bus was comfortable, the tour guide was great. Highly recommend getting a donut at the stop on the way up. The food provided on the your, if chosen, was not worth it and would recommend grabbing lunch on your own. Highly recommend this tour and seeing another part of…”
Soak at Pozar Thermal Baths and see Edessa’s huge waterfalls from Thessaloniki, with a local Orma lunch and market time.
“Eleni was an excellent tour guide. She kept the tour well organized with her excellent communication skills and was also very informative of all the historical aspects of the areas we drive through and visited it. Learned a lot of Greek history from her as well as enjoyed the thermal hot springs and waterfalls. Our…”
Small-group Zakynthos day trip to Navagio Shipwreck Beach, Blue Caves, Xigia sulphur springs, and panoramic viewpoints with swim stops.
“The description of this tour seems misleading. Of the 9 hours we spent between pick up and drop off, only 2 hours were actually in a boat. And it wasn’t a glass bottom boat as advertised. Further, while you will see some caves near Shipwreck Beach and swim in one if you’re lucky, it’s not…”
