Tour di 4 giorni della Grecia Classica: Epidauro, Micene, Olimpia, Delfi, Meteora

Apart from fabulous sites, reasonable food (for buffet style) and a wonderful hotel in Delphi we had a fantastic guide in Katarina.

It is a group of 14 for my tour and the coach is very comfortable. Driver George done an excellent job and the drive is very smooth. The tour guide Stephani is very knowledgeable and well-organised. She speaks very well and I have a good time there. It is the best way to visit all these site by joining this tour.

Some of the most spectacular sites of Ancient Greece, plus the extraordinary monasteries off Meteora, packed into four days with a great guide and comfortable hotels. Our only criticism was the choice of usually no-choice lunch stops as we did not want to sit over lunch when we had eaten a good breakfast and had an evening meal to look forward to.

This tour was excellent in terms of the tour and guide and would have scored 5 stars but the hotel accommodation and included meals were disappointing, hence the deduction of 1 star. Our tour guide Eleni was fantastic. As a former archaeologist her knowledge was encyclopaedic. She didn't use any notes, knew exactly what everything was, answered every question without hesitation and kept us really well informed on what we would be doing each day and she made sure that everything ran to time. At every site we were given a good understanding of the site but also time on our own to explore and take photos. The travel was really first class with our group of 13 accommodated in a luxurious 20 seat coach with full leather reclining seats, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and USB sockets at every seat. The driver, Theonassis, was courteous, always attentive to the passengers and drove smoothly and safely for the whole trip of about 1,200km over the 4 days. The hotel accommodation and meals were disappointing. We paid the extra fee for the 1st class accommodation and to be honest I have no idea what the extra fee provided. All 3 hotels were the Amalia brand (owned by the company providing the tour, CHAT tours) and claim to be 4*, which I suspect is based on facilities, however the rooms were very basic and the food unexciting. I would class them as 3* at best. There was no tea and coffee making facilities in any of the rooms. There was no complimentary water. There were no snacks or minibar. Two of the rooms only had one available power socket and the third had only two sockets, so we had to unplug the fridge, TV and bedside lamps to be able to charge devices. The dinner in all three hotels was basically typical business lunch fare: one of each kind of meat in different sauces, fish in a sauce, salad of varying quality, rice, bread and desserts. At one dinner coffee was included while at another we were told we had to pay extra. There were no other dining facilities. The breakfast food was generally not very hot. One day my wife found eggshell in her omelette. I would advise eating a good meal at lunchtime (at your own cost) and just having salad and dessert in the evening. In the first hotel we were given a room with 2 single beds, which they changed when we asked for a double-bed room. In the second we were told that they had no double-bed rooms in the hotel and we spent an uncomfortable night in single beds. So looking back would I still take this tour? Yes I would, but I would set my expectations of the hotels and food much lower than it was at the start and I wouldn’t pay the 1st class supplement.

The guide was excellent, bus comfy, hotels good, sights wonderful. It was great getting out of Athens and seeing the country.

We enjoyed our four-day excursion. Our guide, Joy, is extremely knowledgeable and shares many stories with the group. It maintained a good pace and we were able to adequately rest every evening at the hotels provided.

Highly recommended!

This was a great way for a solo traveler to see much of the country - much more than I could have done on my own. The tour guide Joy was excellent, very informative, and the majority of the tour was in a small group. The hotels were nice, the food ok, but the sites amazing. Well worth it, felt like the value was excellent.

The four day bus tour exceeded all my expectations. The guide had taught Greek history, mythology, ancient Greek language in an exclusive university preparatory high school for 20 years. She brought passion, knowledge and insight to every place on the itinerary. She also was wonderfully organized and kept us all on a tight but enjoyable schedule. The hotels were only B-class. Not really 3 star. The breakfasts were good and varied menu. The sites visited were extremely challenging due to uneven walking surfaces and many, many, many steps. Definitely this is not for persons with mobility issues.

Amazing beyond words!! Our tour guide, Stephas was incredible! His presentation and style kept me involved and anticipatory for the next chapter. He can be likened to your favorite history teacher if you had one. The Mercedes coach was very comfortable and our driver Mikey moved us through each location safely and with ease. I highly recommend this tour!!
