Our tour with Dimitris was fantastic! He picked us up our hotel right on time and we were on our way to Corinth. He shared stories about Greek mythology and history during our drive to the Canal. He then took us to ancient Corinth and the Acrocorinth, an amazing hike with incredible views. At that point Greece was experiencing record temps over 100 Fahrenheit. Most Athens historical sites closed for the afternoon. Rather than our original itinerary to tour Athens, Dimitris recommended we visit Peloponnese and the historical city of Mycenae. This place was not on our radar but it was spectacular. We then visited Nafplio on the coast, a beautiful town, before heading back to Athens to visit the Acropolis museum. Along the way Dimitris used 3D models on his iPad to help us visualize the sites we visited. He is an excellent tour guide and we highly recommended him.

My family and I had a great tour with Dimitris. He was very knowledgeable and flexible with fitting to tour to the desires and abilities of our large group. There were seven of us. The tour was the highlight of our 10 days in Greece for the history buffs of the family! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the informational videos played throughout the tour regarding the various locations as well. The van was comfortable. It did get a bit warm on occasion but overall the a/c worked well enough. Thanks again!
