We did the 3-day tour of ancient Corinth, Napflio, Mycenae, Epidauros, ancient Olympia, and Delphi. Our driver Petros FAR exceeded my expectations. He was so kind and polite and took great care of me and my husband and our two teenagers. He kept us engaged with many interesting details and thoughts about Greece throughout our drives. He’s a highly educated guy who has lived in the U.S. as well as different parts of Greece, and we truly enjoyed the conversation. We also took plenty of naps during our drives, which helped us be rested for each site. I recommend bringing along the travel pillow you use in the airplane. The drive from Olympia to Delphi is long (4 hrs) and windy. We hired private guides through Warm Penguin for each site we visited, and Petros coordinated handing us off to each of them and picking us up directly from them at the end of each site. The guides were very knowledgeable and experienced and we enjoyed each one. One of the guides had a slower speaking style and our two teens got a bit bored, but that was minor. We stayed at Amalia Hotels in both Napflio and Delphi. Very high quality and comfortable. We slept well. Both had wonderful breakfast buffets. The Napflio breakfast was especially outstanding. Petros had restaurant recommendations in several of the places we stopped. The restaurant To Patriko Mas in Delphi is exceptional. My husband had the lamb chop, I had the rooster, both very tender and tasty, not gamey at all. The porcini mushrooms were superb. Of course the sites and museums have plenty of interesting sites, statues, etc. We are completely happy we chose this tour. This was my daughter’s high school graduation trip..
Dear Sarah Your wonderful review was really nice for all of us to read. Thank you so much for choosing us for your tour! We hope to see you back again in the future. Best Wishes from all of us at Warmpenguin Tours
We highly recommend using Warm Penguin for an amazing in-depth tour of the major historical cities of Greece. Our driver/guide was wonderful, and the sites and scenery are spectacular. The tour was very customizable, and the overnight hotels were wonderful and included full breakfasts.
Thank you for leaving us such a great review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your tour with us. We hope to meet you again in the future. Warmest wishes from all the team at Warmpenguin Tours!
As our first visit to Greece, the 3 day Classical Tour connected the dots of Greek climate, history, culture and mythology. Demetrius, our driver, was professional, knowledgeable and attentive to the needs and questions of his 4 senior passengers (and the Mercedes van had WiFi!). Each stop was preceded by an explanation of mythology or history and we had plenty of time to explore/visit each site and museum. The two overnight stays gave us the opportunity to stay in a comfortable resort style hotel and a small family owned guest house in a seaside village. Although this tour at times included long stretches of driving, the stunning views, driver commentary, and stops to stretch or snack kept us engaged and comfortable.
Dear Alyson Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your tour with us. We hope to meet you again in the future. Warmest wishes from all the team at Warmpenguin Tours!
Our guide was extremely kind, funny, and knowledgeable. He ensured that we had a unforgettable and fun experience. Quality accommodations fantastic food, and unforgettable sites. This was the best way to experience Greece.
Thank you for your lovely words. We are so glad you had a great time exploring Greece. We hope to see you again in the future!
Highly recommend WarmPenguin for any of your tour needs while on the mainland of Greece. The company communicated well to accommodate a 2 day and night tour including hotels and private Mercedes minivan covering Delphi, Olympia, Corinth and other smaller stops. It was nice having back ground information and local recommendations while driving and then exploring sites on our own. They even took us to the port the next morning for our Ferry to the islands. Just ask and they will work hard to accommodate your wants and desires. Overall, it was an excellent tour. Our driver/guide, Bill was the best. He went above and beyond to make sure our trip was great. The only reason not 5 stars is hotel selection on first night was problematic. Very old hotel with uncomfortable beds. Surprisingly the hotel had 5 star trip advisor rating. Also, I thought we could have stayed a little closer to Olympia because the second day was very long compared to the first. I absolutely would use WarmPenguin again and make sure to ask for Bill. He made the entire trip totally a pleasure.
Thank you so much for your kind review, and our appreciation of our flexibility in organizing your multiday tour. Regarding the location you mentioned, we choose this to give a more 'real Greece' feel to the tour rather than only seeing the main tourist track sites, however, in light of your specific comment, we have adjusted this tour to add a choice of accommodation in Delphi also for future guests. Thank you again & we hope to ee you returning soon!
Our driver, Vasilis, was absolutely fantastic! He took the time to explain the lands history and culture. He picked out fantastic restaurants and hotels, ones that I would like to make an additional trip to see again. He was very patient and friendly dealing with my three children and maneuvering around the covid restrictions changing daily. Thank you very much for the adventure!
This is a tremendous value and the best way to see the incredible Peloponnese (plus Corinth and Delphi) sites! Vasilli was very informative, knowledgable, and just fun to spend time with. Not only did he take us to all the sites listed above, but chose some great "off the beaten path" hotels and eateries.
We had a fantastic 3-day tour of Ancient Greek sites through Warm Penguin. Our guide, Panos, made the tour. We were traveling with our 11-year old twins and Panos was flexible and always knew when it was time to find gelato to perk them up. We absolutely loved Olympia and Delphi. We also loved our evening in Galaxidi, a fantastic small seaside town that we never would have discovered on our own. This was an incredible way to discover Greece and see a lot of the country on our first trip here. We highly recommend this tour.
Great trip our guide Konstantinos was great very knowledgeable new the area very well , the accommodation was very good
We did a two day tour + return to Athens on the third day of the historic highlights of the Peloponnese--Corinth, Mycenae, Epidavrous, Olympia, Mystra and based in Nafplion. The driver, Vasilli, was not only an excellent driver but also a terrific source of information and advice about the sites. With his assistance and videos before visiting a site there was no need for an on-site guide. We were a group of 6 and the vehicle was very comfortable. Vassilli kept us hydrated with bottled water throughout the trip. If you can afford it, it is the best way to see lots of sites in comfort and style.
