Alexandros organized for us a fantastic trip. We had a great time in Greece! We were booked in a luxury hotel in the center of Athens where we had the best room with a view of the Acropoilis. We were able to watch the fireworks over the parthenon from our balcony on New Year’s Eve.

The private guided tours were all outstanding. Nota gave us a wonderful tour of the Acropolis. She is a huge source of information and explained to us the Roman agora, the Persian wars and the interesting unique structure and history of the parthenon and the other temples on the Acropolis. It would have been impossible to appreciate the site without such a knowledgeable guide.

George was an extremely interesting person, a painter, saxophonist, owner of nine cats (!) and an expert on prehistoric Mykenai. He gave very passionate explanations about this amazing place.

We very much enjoyed our food tour with Eleni. She is a treasure. I must have gained many pounds sampling lots of dried fruit, raisins, cheese, fine meats, sweets, Greek coffee and wine. The market was a lot of fun to watch and these beautiful food shops were fantastic.

Penny was also wonderful and did a great job showing us the intriguing site at Delphi. It was extremely interesting and the scenery was beautiful.!

Our driver, Yiannis, who took us on two trips, is a very special person. We very much enjoyed our conversations with him during the long drives and our walk with him through beautiful Nafplio. The company is lucky to have him.

All in all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! We highly recommend Greek Insiders!
