Greece Private Tours |
|
Classical and enchanting, Greece offers travelers a warm welcome. Take a Greece tour with a local guide who can show you the country's most popular sights - and best-kept secrets. Your guide is eager to help you understand this Aegean nation's fascinating history and contemporary culture on an entertaining private tour.
Feel your spirits lift when you first spot the Acropolis rising boldly above the Athens skyline. Travel to Delphi - the 'navel of the gods' and explore the ancient ruins of the Temple of Apollo, with its stunning setting on the slopes of Mt Parnassos. On the island of Crete your guide will encourage you to hike the beautiful Sumeria Gorge, then cool down with a swim in the turquoise waters of Elaphonisi Beach. And make sure to witness at least one unforgettable sunset from the edge of Santorini's ancient Caldera.
Along the way, make sure to enjoy a bracing glass of ouzo with your guide who hopes to help make your Greece tour the trip of a lifetime. |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Greece requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
Licensed Tourist Guides are the only professionals permitted to conduct tours in all sites and museums within a city. Licensed guides are required in those areas where the local authorities state that one of them is mandatory.
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities. report error
All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer. |
