Great experience!

Yvonne is a very sweet woman who took us on an off-road trip through the mountains. And what a good driver this woman is! She also really wants you to enjoy this experience and takes all the time to make stops, eat some goodies and enjoy the surroundings. We had a very nice day, it felt like a real adventure!

Wonderful Experience

Our guide was great! Very knowledgeable of the area we traversed. We got to see goats, sheep, and a horse. We picked fresh fruit from the vine, delicious, no pesticides, only water. Highly recommend this adventure. We had 2 kids ages 7 and 10 that also enjoyed themselves and may have found some water to play in. Parents bring an extra set of clothes.

We’ve had an amazing time...

We’ve had an amazing time with Yvonne from Off Road Experience! We truly saw another side of Greece. The mountains were beautiful and the scenery stunning. Lots of cold water and some freshly baked pastries which were delicious. We even stopped by to pick fresh fruit - figs and grapes, helped a tortoise who was lying on her back and stopped by a river with lots of fish. A truly wonderful and unforgettable experience :).

its was so AMEZING that we are realy considering returning to Athens just for this. Thank you very much !

we are 2 brothers the went to the tour with the guide Yvonne and its was incredible! we made an incredible ride through the wooden areas of the mountains surrounding Athens. The guide was very personable and a great conversationalist. She told us about Greece, the population of the outskirts of Athens. Our first experience of ozo and great homemade potato stuffed pastry with olive oil. We've seen goats, birds ,turtles ,old churches and stunning views throughout. One of our best experiences in Greece. Thanks Yvonne!! 💙🤍

Superb and beautiful off roading in rural Athens experience!

Yvonne absolutely wow'd us on this trip. She is a brilliant guide, excellent off roader and the trip out around the olive groves, reservoir and beautiful streams/rivers was amazing. Yvonne even prepared hearty food including homemade marble cake - it was delicious! We would highly recommend this stunning trip out - we remain in awe at Yvonne's master handling of her superb off roader vehicle and she is an excellent teacher for those taking the wheel, too. It s such fun!

Fun, different and educational

A very fun experience for those who love adventure, nature and history. We were picked up and dropped off from our accommodation by Yvonne who was an expert and informative host. We drove off road through the beautiful area stopping to sample fresh figs, grapes and pistachios. Plenty of photo stops to view the panoramic Marathon lake and learn the history of Marathon. We had an opportunity to view and learn about the historic Dam at Marathon. Tasty picnic snacks were also provided. We all enjoyed the experience very much.
