アルカディアの村々山＆クリフトップ修道院プライベート日帰り旅行

Our tour guide was excellent. Harry explained everything that we saw. His sense of humour and flexibility with photo stops made this an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this tour.

Harry was an excellent guide we already did the touristy stuff on previous cruises so we booked this one to do something a bit more adventurous and it turned out to be the best excursion on our 12 day cruise. The scenery was beautify, the mountain villages are also amazing and the highlight was the cliff top monastery. The views were incredible. Harry was an excellent guy, very knowledgeable and very pleasant. I do suggest tennis or hiking shoes for this one! And once you’re at the monastery, you can’t wear shorts. They do have clothing outside the monastery that you can put on for a temporary visit so if you don’t have anything handy, you’re still OK.

We booked three consecutive days of private tour with Crispy Local and this is the second day. We enjoyed this trip a lot with Dimitris as our driver. 🙂 It was a wonderful and relaxing drive to the region seeing a different side of the countryside in Greece with rugged mountains, valleys, the traditional villages etc. We are also pleased to have Dimitris as our driver as he is friendly, welcoming and easy to spend time with. 😊 He is also knowledgeable about many things (history of Arcadia region or the places we drove past e.g. Ancient Corinth, Greek Revolution of 1821 among others.). For all three days that we did the tour with Crispy Local, both drivers (Harry and Dimitris) are welcoming, informative and the whole tours were handled professionally. I highly recommend Crispy Local. :)

I spent the day going around Arcadia’s villages and monasteries with Giorgos. He was a great guide, and as this was my second tour with him I got to know him well. We always had great conversations and was very knowledgeable and answered the questions I asked. He took me to amazing monasteries and gave me plenty of time to enjoy them, and I spent time enjoying the villages in the mountains. He also gave me the option to have a traditional meal in a village tavern that was less for tourists and more local for an authentic Greek food experience and it was great. I had time to do some shopping and get some gifts. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to get out of the busy city for a day and experience a quaint traditional Greek way of life for a day.

Our tour guide was prompt and picked up at our hotel in a van. If you're looking for a tour outside of Athens and have had several days in Athens, this may be a good choice but only if you've seen all that interests you in Athens. One of the villages was interesting, shops were open, the other was not especially interesting, everything was closed, and the tavern where we ate was very disappointing. There was no atmosphere at all and the food, which we paid for, was TERRIBLE. When we asked about the monastery, we were particularly interested in touring a clifftop monastery (listed on the description), the guide drove us to a distant viewpoint where we could see a clifftop monastery but there was a absolutely no way to reach it from where we were. We would have had to hike down into a valley (many switchbacks) and then hike up a long distance to the monastery. We saw two monks coming up from the path with donkeys and loading potatoes to take back. By the time we got to the viewpoint and saw the monastery, late in the afternoon, we knew that there was no way we could get there and back (that would have taken at least an hour, and we are all very fit) in daylight. We headed back down the mountain in the van and our return to Athens still took over 2 hrs. It was an okay day but only just okay.

Anthony was a wonderful guide and driver who brought us on a tour of Arcadia. The spots he picked were beautiful and we didn’t feel rushed. He told us much about the region and its mythology on the way.

Great day trip to mountain villages, monastery and the river. Villages were picturesque. Great view of the mountains. Villages are very close to skiing slopes. We hiked down to see a monastery. It’s a 20 minute walk from parking lot. Very interesting place, highly recommend to visit. Lunch was good and very reasonably priced. Harry was a good driver and had a great personality.

We weren't sure which tour to take but we are glad that we have chosen this one. The views are marvelous, the villages are from another era and food was amazing.

Everything was great loved the quaint villages & beautiful mountainsides on the drive. Nice stores & delicious lunch.
