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.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. it is great that you enjoyed the visit to the first village. As these are remote small villages, it is not usual to have shops and a lot of entertaining. That is why we visit these beautiful places away from the big cities, to see the beauty and calmness. The restaurant that you visited is the best in the area with great reviews and authentic as only locals visit it. The menu is not of a modern restaurant and this is what people look for. If you had in mind a modern restaurtant with a specific atmosphere, then this tour is far off it. Regarding the walk to the monastery, it is only 15 minutes. Our driver advised you that some people even do it less than 15 minutes. He even showed you a gps map to be sure. As a rule of thumb, before booking an experience, is strongly advised to always check the "what to expect" info in order to have a good idea of the whole itinerary and stops. Thank you again for your feedback and we wish you a great time in Greece!
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.
