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 :)

Hi we had opted for the three day islands tour in greece.The services provided round trip transfers which was in very comfortable cars.And the hotels booked were good.The drivers who picked us up from the port were helpful in giving us few details about the island.Overall good experience. I also have a question you provided us with a welcome kit in Athens which had a local soap.Would love to know the name of it.

Our group had ages ranging from 7-70. Most people would rate our experience less than a 5 because there were a few hiccups in the beginning...but I do believe it is how this company fixed the issues that I gave 5 stars. We did the 3 day/2 night Island Tour. Company was very responsive and flexible with our requests and booking/paying was easy. When we started our tour on Oct 22, our driver didn't show and we didn't have tickets for the ferry to Santorini. I had to pay out of pocket for both our taxi to port and seajet2 tickets for 6 (which were already paid to the company). Easy to write off the entire experience and focus on the bad start... but I emailed the company contact and by the time we got to Santorini, the tickets for the rest of our journey were waiting for us, all drivers were on time for the rest of the trip and accommodations were as expected. Our original driver had an accident and that can't be avoided - it happens. When we returned to Athens on day 3, our driver was waiting with an envelope that contained a full refund for what I had to pay out of pocket the first day.
We were prepared for things like this that may come up, and it could have been worse if we didn't make the boat. My only tip is if you are doing a quick tour like we did and timing of ferries/drivers are critical - have a backup plan; but know the company has a contact for you the entire journey and is very responsive and will make it right should anything go wrong. We had a blast on our tour and will use PTG in the future if we are lucky enough to find ourselves in Greece again.

Tours representative Soultana allowed us to customize this 3 days/2 nights Santorini-Mykones Islands tours to include Athens sightseeing day trip and Airport pickup and drop off. We picked 4 star hotels for our trip and very pleased with the recommended hotels. Our drivers were English speaking and very knowledgeable and very punctual. We had a great time in Greece and will definitely recommend their services to others. We loved Santorini and we recommend 2 days stay in Santorini.

Did the 3 day Island hopping tour. Communication in English was clear and timely as we don’t speak Greek. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The drivers were exceptional with providing information on local knowledge and custom. All bookings went smoothly and like clockwork. Accommodation that was arranged was wonderful - especially on Santorini. Nothing was too much trouble and all our tour and special requests were met with ease. We would recommend this tour company - very affordable and professional. Thank you for a very memorable experience.
