Cruise-only Corfu shore excursion with Paleokastritsa beach, Monastery views, and Corfu Town free time by air-conditioned bus.
“Penelope was absolutely fantastic. She sent texts with photos and instructions of the meeting point. She was friendly and approachable. The car was spotlessly clean. She gave interesting information along the way and clear instructions about where to meet and advice on what to do at the stops. She even gave us extra time in Corfu Town which was appreciated. She gave us chocolates upon departure and bought my daughter a lovely bracelet as a gift. There was never ANY worry or doubt about getting back to the cruise ship on time. For the cost I can’t recommend this trip enough. 5*****.”

“We had an absolutely fantastic time on today’s Mykonos tour, thanks to our wonderful guide, Andrea. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but she also had the perfect sense of humour that kept the entire group smiling and engaged from start to finish. Andrea’s storytelling brought every stop to life, and she made the experience feel personal and effortless. Her passion for Mykonos is infectious, and her fun, approachable style made the tour both informative and genuinely entertaining.”

Private half-day Kefalonia shore tour with sea turtle harbor, early caves, Assos and Myrtos views, port pickup, AC car.
“Kefalonia Greece! Wow what a surprise! Private tour that took us into 2 caves and after that we drove to 2 or 3 different little towns and then had lunch in a little town with a beach. It was such a lovely afternoon and Kefalonia I would love to come back to visit.”
Walk Athens to the Acropolis from Piraeus, with a guided route, key landmarks, and time in Plaka, plus optional prebooked tickets.
“This was a great tour but it was incredibly hot and there was a lot of walking. We started our on a walking tour of Athens, visited parks, and then climbed the Acropolis. If we had gone first to the Acropolis, we would have been there at a much cooler part of the day, and would have spent enough time at the Acropolis to really see everything. I stead, we were rushed, hot, and uncomfortable. The guide had some interesting stories, but a lot of the facts and stories as we walked around Athens seemed designed to simply fill time until our timed tickets at the Acropolis.”

“The tour was excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our wishes.”

“Great tour guide. "Georgia" was very good at explaining the area and for taking our pictures. Lots of walking over 3.5 miles in a 4hr tour. A little riding in a van across the island. Many places we went were great views of the water and area. If you're ok with walking I would definitely recommend this tour.”
Private Katakolon shore trip to Olympia, a family winery, and Agios Ilias Beach, with port pickup, skip-the-lines help, and self-paced ruins.
“Status was amazing and catered this trip to what we wanted to do. I was pleasantly surprised that he remembered towels for our teenagers since I forgot them. He even bought us souvenirs out of his own pocket since it was his son’s birthday and said it was b/c of that. Very sweet ❤️ he got us a reservation at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the water at a beach the locals go to and ordered our food for us so we could try traditional Greek food. It was only €55! We skipped the winery since we have 2 kids that would like more time at the beach. He was very…”

“Our guide George and the driver did an excellent job of showing us the Hidden Treasures of Santorini. We loved seeing the island from top to bottom. The walking was not too much.
