エピダウロスミケーネオリンピアデルフィとメテオラでの4日間のスペインツアー

A very beautiful experience with an excellent guide, Panagos, who explained in detail the history of the places we visited.

We arranged this 4-day Spanish Tour of Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi and Meteora in February, an ideal month to avoid the rigors of the Greek summer. The Tour has even exceeded our expectations, which were already high, not only in terms of transport and accommodation but above all for the excellent work of our guide, Helena. Thanks to it we have returned from Greece “much wiser” even though we are aware that “we know nothing”, a famous phrase attributed to Socrates that symbolizes wisdom based on the recognition of one’s ignorance.

We loved the 4 day tour with Helena and Giórgos. It was a very good experience and she was a great guide, she got involved with the group a lot (it was a big group and she still kept an eye on everyone) explained everything super clear and created a very nice atmosphere. It really improved our trip.

Recommended itinerary. It goes through the main archaeological sites of Classical Greece and concludes in the incredible Orthodox monasteries of Meteora. Excellent accompaniment and knowledge of the guide (Mrs. Magdalene). Unfortunately sometimes time to be at each site is scarce (usually 15 or 20 minutes) because lunch schedules already agreed for the group must be adhered to. That forces you to be watching the clock instead of scouring the site and its particularities.

Day 1 Athens - Olympia. We were picked up at the Electra Rhythm hotel, 5 minutes walking from the Plaka where we were staying and qur could not access and we started the 4 day tour on a good mic. We only carry one bag. The guide very good and agile. We visit all the places planned in the excursion without any problems. We stayed at the Neda hotel in Olympia, normal 3-star, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Day 2. Olympia – Delphi. We visit all the places planned in the excursion without any problems. We stayed at the Nafsika Palace hotel in Itea, a 4 star hotel 1 block from the sea, in fact from the balcony of the room you could see it. Clean, comfortable and very well located. We were able to stroll along the coast in the afternoon night, where there are places to drink and walk a little before leaving the next morning. Dinner was the best of all and breakfast was very good. It corresponded to a hotel in Delphi, fortunately we went to this. Day 3. Delphi - Kalambaka. We visit all the places planned in the excursion without any problems. We stayed at the planned hotel, the Orfeas, a 3 star hotel that lost one along the way. The uncomfortable room, the TV didn't work, the regular cleaning, the sheets and padding guys, I actually had to lay the bed again because where I tried to get into bed everything came out. Very loose dinner in terms of quality and also limited breakfast. Day 4. Kalambaka - Athens We visited all the places planned in the excursion without problems, returning to the Plaka hotel in Athens at 18 approx. From the point of view of the places visited, the explanations of the guide and the views we have no objection, on the contrary. In that sense it was a great walk full of history. But there are other issues that the Enterprise should take into account that we in particular didn’t like. 1. Breakfast: overall they were plentiful and with good products except the last hotel. 2. Lunch: It is paid, but in one place and with a preset menu by the Enterprise, normally buffet type, with a cost of 17E per person plus drinks. The hot food offered was heavy and we chose not to eat lunch so we could enjoy the ride more (or we were going to fall asleep on the bus) and not accumulate pounds. 3. Dinner is in the hotels, buffet, is included in the price of the excursion without drinks. It is also heavy food, beyond the two or three salads available. 4. Everywhere we stayed there were around the hotel restaurants or bars for dinner. I think it would be more convenient for lunch to be included and for everyone to take advantage of it as they want and free dinner, because there is no conditioning of times and you can sit down to eat what you want. If you upgrade this and the KalambaKa Hotel, it would be a 10-point excursion.

A tour in which we have enjoyed the magnificent art and stunning nature of Greece. Very good organization, quality accommodations and all with the support of the kindness and sense of Lucas, our driver. Above all, I highlight Elena's excellence as a guide. Depth of knowledge, speech and great skill treating people. I highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful experience thanks to the attention of our guide Fanery, with an extensive knowledge of Greek culture and the way of transmitting it made the tour an unforgettable moment, thanks also to Lucas the bus driver for his friendliness and professionalism. Fully recommended.

Totally subjective opinion: The experience for me is going to be unforgettable, thanks to the knowledge - and almost more importantly, the Capacity (in covers) of our guide, Elena, that more than a guide would have been my favorite history teacher. Rating that he loves to explain, and managed to lighten the journeys in the coach. I learned, I laughed, and I enjoyed it a lot. A quiet also go with driver Lucas, patient, and always smiling and close. The objective part: As for the 4-star hotel category, it is not worth paying the difference, the 3-star hotels are of very similar quality, we even share the same hotel in one of the destinations. Places are amazing if you like archaeology-history&art, and you will also learn from mythology.

I recommend this activity because the Fanery guide of the Spanish tour, has made you see classical Greece with other eyes, has got us into the mythological history of conquerors, battles and wars without tiring with its explanations. Loved it. Thanks to Lucas the driver because he couldn't have done better, he drives very well, thanks And finally the group even if you don't choose has been great, thank you. I recommend it

In addition to the 4 days in Greece (Corinth Channel, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia, Delphi, Thermopylae, Kalambaka), we also enjoyed the Acropolis of Athens. Our guide was Helena. A great person, with deep knowledge of the history, not only of Greece, but also of Spain. With exquisite sensitivity in his explanations. Very entertaining and didactic, who could give master classes at any university. Very passionate in her expressions about historical facts, clearly differentiating these from her opinions, the latter carved by her long years of experience, as well as her academic background. For me and my family, especially my grandson, it was an unforgettable experience. During lunch stops, he always showed great concern for the group and dedication so that we had the best attention from the restaurants, as well as in the 3 hotels where we stayed. I highly recommend this trip through History, with Helena.
