George is a great driver and guide! Five stars for not only flexibility but local knowledge. George picked out a restaurant and extended our trip.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad to hear that our driver made your experience enjoyable!
Katerina has the number one thing we cherish in your guides: passion. She is warm, friendly, accommodating to children’s lack of flexibility, and became a fast friend.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're happy to hear that Katerina made such a positive impact on your tour. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon!

Maria was amazing and especially was extremely patient with a large group. We went to the right places and took care of each of the 13 women in our group
Thank you so much for your kind words about Maria. We're happy to hear she provided excellent service and ensured everyone in your group had an exceptional experience.
The Landlife Travel team were excellent, both in arranging the tour and providing such a wonderful experience. The team were responsive and helpful in organizing the logistics for our tour, and our guide was excellent - friendly, knowledgeable, and easy-going. We were especially interested in this tour as it included a visit to Ancient Corinth, which most tours do not provide. As well, it was just me and my wife, and the price for this private tour was a great value. We loved the experience, learned a lot of local history, and had a wonderful time on our tour. Our experience was so good, we signed up again with Landlife Travel for a separate trip from Nafplio the following day, to the amazing sights at Mystras, where again the guide was super-friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the tour and especially the Landlife Travel group.
<p>Excellent personal tour of three of the most important sites in the area plus a peer into the canal. Costas, our guide had a wealth of knowledge on Greek history, architecture and even the old myths and was constantly pointing out things of interest as we travelled. A fascinating if fairly full on tour and a cold beer at the end is fully deserved.</p>
