モネンバシアの中世の要塞都市とスパルタへの 1 日プライベート ツアー

Fantastic tour. Worth the drive. The olive oil museum is very well done and informative. Sparta was interesting. The highlight was Monemvasia! Wow. Try to spend most your time here! The car was excellent, the driver , Dimetri was courteous and informative.

It was exactly what I was looking for and I am glad I did this tour. Monemvasia is stunningly beautiful, a true gem. Would recommend seeing. I have been to Athens several times before and had already done the more common day tours. I had always wanted to see Monemvasia but I only had 1 day free and thus this booking was perfect for me. Was picked up on time from my hotel in a clean, comfortable air conditioned Mercedes SUV with charging port for my phone. The drive is long but gorgeous scenery along the way in the Peloponnese with sights of mountains, farms of olive trees and water views. There was enough time for stops including 2 bathroom/ coffee stops. There was a quick stop at Corinth Canal for classic photo stop along with a quick stop at Leonidas statue in Sparta. Ruins at Sparta are sparse, not much there, but it was free and had beautiful vistas. The Olive Oil museum is small but interesting. These stops broke up the drive. But the true highlight was the medieval fortress town of Monemvasia. No cars inside main gate, just a labyrinth of winding streets of shops and restaurants, surrounded by a fortress wall and stunning views of the sea sparkling in the sun, the bluest of colors. Had time for lunch at a restaurant recommend by the driver with one of the most picturesque views overlooking the water that I have ever eaten at, and good Greek food too. Only had 2 hours to enjoy the town so it was short but I am happy I got to see it. The young driver Jason was very friendly, curteous and prompt (and English speaking). He is not a licensed guide so he did not go over history or accompany me on sites, I explored the sites on my own but I was expecting this when I signed up as it was as described as such on tour page. I had just wanted a private driver to get me/to from Monemvasia in a single day and the trip was exactly as promised. Lots of driving for sure, about 10 hours total, but it went by fast and was comfortable drive.

Truly the highlight of our trip. We loved every minute of it. The food, the wine, the conversations, everything was incredible and perfectly timed. Can’t recommend enough!

Definitely one of the hidden gem tours from Athens! Our tour guide Harry was very accommodating and knowledgeable which makes for good conversation on the commutes.

This trip is well worth the experience. George our driver was very knowledgeable about the history and culture and he made our day more enjoyable. Would recommend.

We had the most amazing time on our trip! Theo was incredible—knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make it a special experience. Even though it was a full-day trip, it went by so quickly. He planned the stops perfectly so it never felt long or tiring. The company was also very accommodating and allowed us to customize one part of the itinerary to better fit our interests, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!

This was a very long day but so totally worth the time. George was our driver and a great ambassador for Greece. When we asked if we could see the sites of ancient Corinth from Biblical times he was glad to add that to our trip. That was a highlight to us! Sparta and the Olive museum were quaint and a nice break on the drive. But the real highlight was the trek to visit Monemvasia. This ancient town was so worth the drive. This is a great tour to see a lot of southern Greece!

Find a tour operator that cares more about their customers. The night before this tour was set to begin, the manager messaged (no call, I didn't see the message until hours later) me and says there could be delays to due farmers strikes. I didn't know what that was at the time so I wasn't too worried. Until I was stuck on another tour, waiting in traffic for hours where people literally had to exit their vehicles to relieve themselves. This obviously is not the fault of the tour operator but I messaged them again asking if we should cancel, they said it should be fine. I then discussed with locals and other tourists who explained the issues they faced and it sounded like a nightmare for a tourist. So the morning of, I said I didn't feel comfortable with proceeding but the driver showed up anyway and the manager refused to cancel and refund or reschedule the trip. The driver was incredibly nice and patient and this doesn't reflect him at all. The company itself should be more flexible with their customers. They're dealing with people in foreign environments and comfort matters. Given what I was told by others (multiple locals, drivers, operators) and my own experiences, I didn't think it was advisable but they disagreed. They are the experts so I'm sure they are right but their information came from local police and the police were the ones blocking the roads so I find that to be unreliable information. If they had given me more notice, perhaps I would have canceled within their refund window but they themselves didn't tell me the tour was going to be delayed until that window closed anyway, that should go both ways and if something unexpected like this happens, there should flexibility on both sides. I could have done the tour another day, accepted a partial refund or anything but they did not work with me at all. We're talking about protests and police road blocks being added to an already full day tour. So again, I would look elsewhere or just rent a car. Viator has requested a refund for the second time so we'll see if they make it right but until then, I feel I must warn other travelers. The company will probably respond saying they showed up and waited and it was outside of the refund window (all true) but again, things changed, new factors were introduced and this is a customer service business. I'm sure this tour would have been great given my messages with the driver but don't expect any support or kindness from the management.

The trip was wonderful! Theo was amazing! He picked us up right from our doorstep on time with a big smile and big heart! We had great conversations on the road on politics, history, cultural and many other topics which was great. On top of his description, he prepared a two-page info sheets to read before each site which we found very helpful. He was very attentive, accommodating and went way and beyond to make us comfortable. We are a family of 4, with two kids 14 and 8. We all enjoyed the trip very much. Highly recommended.
