We did this tour on the last day of our nearly 2 week very packed Greece trip, and it was the third day straight we spent with Pan (we did the 2-day Meteora trip with him prior). We were very glad we decided to book Pan for the two tours in a row (you never know in advance how it will go). We were pretty much burned out by this last day and Pan was incredibly flexible as we went, even though we intentionally decided to cut the tour time down slightly. He made sure we still got to see everything on the tour list, and believe me – Pan will give you your money’s worth with a full itinerary and has no problem with extending the time as needed. He provided excellent history details as we went, gave some great lunch recommendations and made sure we had plenty of relaxation time in Nafplio. In addition to the well known, “must see” sites, he included several lesser known, but equally impressive locations. He’s an excellent driver, and after seeing what the traffic is like in and around Athens it’s clear a good driver can save you some time as well! Highly recommend.

I was born and raised in a small village in Greece, on Apollo's mountain Parnassus. I studied tourism management and have been working in tourism for more than 30 years. My passion is history and mythology, I love nature, traveling, reading and socializing with people. I have been dealing with tours for the last 6 years and having worked in the entire spectrum of Tourism, I discovered that it is what suits me best. I feel free to design and create experiences I love, in places I find unique. It is important for me to be able to share my passion with people from all over the world. It makes me happy to feel that I gave them an experience they will always remember. This fills me up and makes me feel successful. This is my goal always: not to go together, just to a popular destination, to go together on an experience you will remember forever, to see landscapes and do thinks that will fill you with emotions. Let's go! Degree in tourism management (University of Crete) Degree of teaching Tourism I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the archaeological sites or museums. But you are going to have any detailed information you need, before your entrance in an archaeological site.

Our day with Panagiotis in the Peloponnese was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. Panagiotis is a very knowledgeable guide with a love of the country that makes spending the day with him very special!
Pan went above and beyond for us! I asked for advice on "must sees" for a historian, we crafted an agenda, and he even helped me with sites for a different day. When my sister's plane delay caused her to miss the Acropolis, he added on an early morning view from the a hill across from it. Due to our interest in SO much of what we saw, we took 1 1/2 hrs longer than expected. He didn't even complain! He seems to love his country and is passionate about sharing what he loves. I am so glad we went with him!
This was our second tour/experience with Pan (we did his Delphi tour the day before). What we saw the day before, was confirmed. He is knowledgeable and engaging. He would show us things during the ride and answered all our questions. History, archeology, mythology and greek life in general were all topics he would tackle with ease. At the end of our tour, my young children ran to him to give him a hug as he was part of our family for two fantastic days.
Panagiotis (Pan) was an excellent educated tour guide. He spent the whole day with us at a very fair rate. We were able to see everything we wanted to see and more. We highly recommend Pan. You will not be disappointed. Pan is able to do many types of tours!
