Magnificent guided tour of the Acropolis and Museum

Our private tour was exceptional and our tour guide, Marie, freely shared her vast knowledge. Antelope Travel made the whole process so easy from connecting with Marie to entering the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. I can see how both venues could be overwhelming without the help of a professional. Marie brought it all to life and made the history come alive. While it was crowded, she knew the best vantage points. The length of the tour was perfect and we departed inside the museum where we enjoyed a nice lunch at the cafe and then wandered the museum for a while longer.

Wonderful Planning, Communication, and Customer Service

After an amazing honeymoon trip to Athens and Santorini planned by Antelope Travel, I left my luggage in Athens. The team at Antelope went to the airport and searched for hours and eventually found my luggage and kept it at their offices until a friend of mine was traveling to the area. They ended up driving with my lost luggage to meet my friend at the airport and our luggage was returned. Truly impeccable customer service on top of an already seamlessly planned vacation. Antelope was very helpful with accommodations regarding travel, and Konstantinos and Harry provided wonderful communication and recommendations to make our trip the best it could be. So thankful.

5 Hour walking tour is a must if you visit Athens

Our walking tour with Dora was the highlight of our trip! She was so knowledgeable and explained so many things about the Acropolis and history that we would have never known. This tour was part of a package we had prepared by Anastasia from Antelope Travel. She was the best! We planned the 14 day personalized trip to meet our needs and every part of our trip was fabulous. I highly recommend Antelope Travel and Anastasia if you are thinking of planning a trip to Greece in the future. You can't go wrong!! If you have a chance to go on this tour - DO IT!

Athens Private Tour-Greece Trip

Antelope Travel saved our trip. We were anxious about our trip to Greece and didn’t know the best routes to booking what we were thinking about experiencing. Anthony from Antelope is the kindest and sweetest human we’ve interacted with in some time; very understanding, listened to our personalities and literally booked us the perfect vacation for US, swaying away from what social media says to do. We would have been miserable. Antelope is well established to book private events, receiving the best for every occasion. We were set up for Athens, Crete and Santorini, Greece. I was even assisted in setting up a proposal, making the process so smooth, and everything could not have been more perfect. We were given the absolute best guides for our trip and we cannot thank Anthony and Antelope enough!

100% Recommend Antelope Travel!

We had the BEST time on our recent trip to Athens, Crete, Mykonos and Santorini! A HUGE Thanks to Anastasia and Antelope Travel!! Every aspect of our trip was fantastic! We loved every Island we visited and all of the planned excursions we participated in. Anastasia was more than great to work with. She listened to our wants and made sure things were just as we requested. She was prompt and helpful every step of the way! The tour guides and the drivers were very well educated on the sights and history and so very kind and a lot of fun! The hotels/resorts were all beautiful and the accommodations were fantastic! The only thing I would say is if you are going in late September, the pools are not warm! It was beautiful and nice to have them at the places we stayed, but more just to sit around rather than swim in! But hey, we had the sea, so everything worked out just fine! We loved our trip so much and if we ever get a chance to go back, we will DEFINITELY use Antelope Travel again! The islands, the sights, the history, the PEOPLE, the food was all more than we could have ever imagined. We absolutely LOVED every bit of our trip!! Thank you Anastasia, Antelope Travel and all the others who we met along the way for making our trip/vacation one we will cherish and remember forever!!! Kristi Hamilton

Athens, Crete and Santorini tour

Anthony was a fabulous tour planner for our family, multi-generational trip. He put the itinerary, tours, transportation and hotels together seamlessly and everything was wonderful. He really listens and can modify things to suit your particular needs. Took all the stress off the trip.

Perfect trip to Skopelos and Athens with walking tour of Athens

Anastasia at Antelope Travel organized an amazing trip that for us - we postponed it over 20 years and the trip planned with Anastasia lived up to the expectations. We knew we were going to fly from the UK to Skiathos as we wanted to spend time on Skopelos. While I usually do all of our travel planning personally, we decided to give a travel agency a try at the recommendation of a friend. Everything was so simple and went so smoothly, with transportation arranged from plane and ferry to hotels, a car arranged while on Skopelos brought to the hotel, transportation from the ferry at Agios Konstantinos to Athens by Iannis, who was both a very friendly driver, and very knowledgeable, with recommendations and history information as he drove. While in Athens we took the 5 hour walking tour of the Acropolis and museum led by Maria. She knew a few days in advance we needed to leave an hour earlier than planned and made sure we were in line just as the Acropolis opened, saving us hours of wait time. Without her knowledge both the site and the museum could have been overwhelming, but instead we felt like we understood both the ancient nature of the site, and the current archeological situation. She was outstanding. The entire trip went without a hitch, and was simple so all we had to do was relax on the island and enjoy the sites in Athens. The hotels were lovely with great breakfasts. I would book with Antelope again the next time we go to Greece, they made it all so easy.
