A once in a lifetime experience

Dimitra, It is now four months since my companion and I enjoyed our wonderful tour of the Peloponnese that you arranged for us.
I look at photos and memorabilia I collected on the trip, and memories come flooding back. Your staff were so knowledgeable and helpful that the 7 days I spent on your tour were the highlight of my 7 week European holiday. A blend of ancient Greek history and spectacular, interesting scenery.
Dimitra,if I am fortunate enough to have another Greek holiday, I will certainly be in touch with you.
Thank you
Regards,
Phil Hassett, Australia

Athens and the Peloponnese

What a wonderful tour! Thank you, Dimitra, for personalizing the route for us and giving us Stathis (an expert, professional and personable driver) and Yianni (a very knowledgeable, helpful and enthusiastic guide). They made an interesting trip more wonderful and enjoyable. We got to see the archaeological and historic sites we were looking forward to, but also through Yianni's coaching, tried some charming and off-the-beaten-path tavernas and cafes for some delicious Greek meals. Wherever possible, Stathis chose roads rather than freeways so we could experience more of the country and he anticipated our desires for "photo ops" managing to stop for optimal photo taking. How refreshing to be in a comfortable van where the needs of only us 4 travelers plus driver & guide had to be considered.
The hotel accommodations were great, with plentiful breakfast buffets every day. You really provided high value for our cost.
I've been singing your praises to everyone and I hope this post helps other travelers to consider booking with Private Tours Greece. Thank you.

6 Day Tour In the Peloponnese

PTG are an excellent company to deal with, response to any communication was within 24 hours and they worked with me on the itinerary to fit in extra sites we wanted to visit. Our driver Mr Kostas is absolutely fabulous, always on time, very knowledgeable of Peloponnese and nothing was too much trouble for him. The minibus was new, air conditioned, clean and comfortable for 4 adults. The Hotel accommodation (4 star) booked was comfortable. I would highly recommend PTG for any private tour of Greece and would have no hesitation in booking with them again.

6 Days in Peloponnese and Meteora

My friend and I just got back from a wonderful trip with Private Tours. We did the 6 day tour of the Peloponnese, Delphi, and Meteora. Our driver, Nikos S., was fantastic. It was the first time in Greece for both of us, and Nikos took complete care of us, shared his love of his country and the many wonderful sites, and gave us insight into the modern and ancient culture of Greece. He made sure our site-specific guides (all excellent) knew that we were archaeologists and so the site tours were geared towards our specific interests. Definitely ask for Nikos if you use this company. Everything was arranged in advance and worked perfectly.

Perfect private tour

I took this company's 6-day classical tour from April 25th to April 30th. Luckily weather was perfect and I had nothing but fond memories. When I signed up this private tour, my decision was based on all those favorable reviews here in Tripadvisor. And I have to reassure you that their reviews are correct. Of course, the only contact I had was the driver, Nikos Sachinis, and the car I rode for 6 days. So I cannot say anything about the company itself other than my experience. However, I have to emphasize that Eleni, a customer service lady, was extremely helpful and courteous through emails from the beginning to the end. I wish I had a chance to meet her to say thank you. Nikos turns out to be the perfect driver as well as a perfect travel companion. Very pleasant, knowledgeable, and intelligent. At first, I was somewhat uneasy about driving through winding and narrow roads in Peloponnese peninsula, but his driving was conservative, always safety first, strictly following speed limits, and I felt so comfortable riding his car. He also has a lot of knowledge about archeology and history of the sites we visited, and his tips helped me a lot in walking around those sites. I highly recommend this company, if you are, like myself, not comfortable driving a rental car in Greece where you cannot read road signs and any emergency messages, and cannot ask help in local language. Public transportation in Greece is, unfortunately, not good in Peloponnese peninsula, and considering all hassles of arranging transportation in remote areas of archeological sites, this private tour is worth the money you will spend. I should also add that their selection of hotels is also very good. I don't know of any other drivers in this company, but if you have a choice, get Nikos. You will never be disappointed!

Great Peloponnese trip!

Four of us booked a six day private tour of the Peloponnese and it exceeded our expectations!
Our driver, Giannis, was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He was always punctual, very knowledgeable of the area, a careful and considerate driver, happy, friendly, courteous and he made our trip something special. We were very Lucy to get Giannis!

We took a one-day tour to Delphi. The logistics worked out exactly as promised (comfortable vehicle, arrived exactly on time) and our guide was simply excellent. Very knowledgeable, full of great insights and stories along the journey and at the site. She really made the day special.

We took a 1/2 day tour to Corinth from Athens with Me Nikos. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. Unfortunately, we were not as impressed with the guide we booked in Corinth. He spent all our time inside the museum, so we barely had any time to look around, and didn't really listen to or address our questions. We were also disappointed that we were unable to see any of modern Corinth or the church that was listed in the itinerary, because it was closed. Overall, tho, we enjoyed the tour and I would recommend Me Nikos as a host :)
