Kalavryta, Rack Railway & Cave of Lakes Full Day Private Tour

The hidden gem of Greece

This is a true gem of a tour. The Pelopponesian peninsula is stunning. My driver Georgios was willing to teach everything from Greek language (how to read and pronounce), history of the areas and gyros vs souvlaki and the proper way to order it. The tour itself was a hidden gem. There were very few foreign tourists and mostly Greek people on holiday which made me feel like I was truly experiencing Greece as a local. The rack rail train trip was simply stunning and well worth it for the views. Kalavryta is a gorgeous town with great coffee. The scenery everywhere was stunning but the Cave Lakes were magical. I will visit again when the water is higher. The museum at the caves was very educational. I highly recommend this trip for anyone ago wants to see a less than common part of Greece. Ευχαριστώ (thank you) Georgios.

8 Days Peloponnese: Sightseeing, Historical & Tasting Private Tour from Athens

Terrific tour of the Peloponnese

We did a 6 day private tour of the Peloponnese with Christos as our driver. The trip was everything I hoped it would be, and Christos was a fantastic driver and very knowledgeable about everywhere we went. We did not have a guide inside the sites, just wandered around on our own, but because of the great background Christos gave us at each location we did just fine. We prefer to eat local rather than in tourist restaurant and Christos gave us great recommendations. We were very comfortable in his car and he was a very conscientious driver; the roads were windy but his driving was smooth and while I can sometimes get car sick on that kind of road I had no problem at all. Given that it was just the start of the tourist season we had very little in the way of crowds. The weather was perfect. The hotels that were chosen for us by Greece Taxi were terrific, and we especially loved the Hotel Europa in Olympia. The private tour that we did was similar to their 8 day tour but without Delphi (which we did while we were in Athens) and a couple of other places. Christos usually took us the scenic route so we had the opportunity to see a lot of the country in addition to the ancient sites. The ancient sites are uneven and can be hot and dusty; I recommend sturdy shoes or light hiking boots at minimum. Don’t let that s are you away from seeing them; they are unlike anything you have seen anywhere else! This was a perfect tour for us and just what I hoped it would be.

Kalavryta CogTrain Anci.Corinth Private Tour from Athens/Nafplio

A nice day away from Athens

After a long day in Athens the day before, this tour hit at just the right time. We were met at the hotel by our driver, Christos, who was prepared for our day with plenty of cool water and information. As we drove to our destinations, he expertly explained what we would be seeing and their significance. He allowed for plenty of time for breaks and photos. The spot he selected for our lunch was so perfect...delicious examples of Greek cuisine. The train portion of the excursion was particularly awesome, but by no means the only good part of the tour. And at the end. Christos grabbed my phone for me before he left after dropping us back at the hotel. I highly recommend this tour, and if you're lucky enough to get Christos, it will be even better!
