Mystras Castle Town full day tour.

Aristoteleia was an absolute delight! She was incredibly flexible, picking us up right from the Monemvasia port in her lovely car and taking us on an amazing tour of Mystras and then on to Sparta. Her warm personality and extensive knowledge of the region’s history made the trip truly special. She shared insights and local stories that made the experience come alive. Not only did she drop us off with amazing recommendations for food, but she also made sure we felt like locals for the day. Highly recommend Aristoteleia for anyone wanting to explore the area in a warm, authentic way

This was an amazing day! Aristoteleia met us right on time at the cruise port in Gythion and had brought along a guide Stavros who was fantastic and shared so much knowledge about Mystras Castle and the ancient ruins of Sparta, which were better than expected. The Mystas portion far exceeded our expectations and we were impressed with the incredible views of the surrounding mountain and valleys from up there. Stavros brought the history of those places alive! All 4 of us highly recommend this tour!

Tellei was a great guide for our brief time off the cruise ship in the port of Gythion. Her English is excellent, she was entertaining, and a great driver, and very knowledgeable about Greek history. We spent out time in the medieval town of Mystras, and then she recommended a place by the wharf for us to sample authentic Greek "street" food for a late lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with her, and highly recommend her as a local guide.

We had a marvelous day! Getting away from the port and other tour groups, we had a comfortable drive through the countryside. We started at the top of the ruins and then walked down to our awaiting guide. We then had a nice lunch in Sparta before returning to the ship. It appears that the cruise ship tours only take people to the bottom of the ruins with half the time to visit and they never got up to the castle or saw the view. So this TBL tour is the way to go. Our guide was helpful and friendly.

Teleia is very educated and knowledgeable tour guide. She provided me with an outstanding history of Mystras, a UNESCO designated site. She had me start at the top Gate so I could climb to the top of the beautiful Watch Tower of these ancient ruins, provided me with a very in-depth pamphlet to use during my hike down to the bottom gate (approximately 2.5 hours later) and then on to wonderful Sparta. The OLive Oil Museum in Sparta was excellent and the dinner we had there was Fabulous! Highly Recommend
