5-Day Ancient Greece & Zakynthos Turtle Island Tour

10 out of 10 private tour

Spyros, our driver, was an absolute legend. He was fun, respectful and very knowledgeable. His driving made us feel very safe and comfortable. Spyros suggested delicious restaurants, stopped at fantastic places for photos and accommodated our requests. He always had water and never complained about our very heavy luggage. Spyros drove us around on his day of rest and acted as a tour guide when the third party operated boat cruise was cancelled due to low numbers. Before the tour even started our travel specialists Patty and Silia were so helpful over email. Always getting back to our questions in a really timely manner and accommodated our family of 4. The hotels we stayed at and the places we visited on the 5 day private tour with Zakynthos were so nice and the staff were all very friendly. Everything was organised for us which eliminated a lot of decision fatigue. We cannot recommend this tour enough and thank Spyros, Patty and Silia.

Excellent holiday in Greece

We spent 9 days touring Greece with Private Tours Greece, combining Athens with other destinations. The agency was extremely professional, polite and helpful booking our holiday, and best of all, they provided us with a driver called Spyros. Spyros was a gentleman and an excellent driver who made sure we were in all the right places at the right time, whether it was catching a ferry or pre-empting coach tours to avoid the crowds. Spyros was always cheerful, informative and helpful, with plenty of advice on the local stuff, and he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our holiday, for which we are very grateful! He knows the roads of Greece backwards and knows exactly where to stop for the best photo opportunities. We saw lots, had fantastic local guides (also booked by PTG), stayed in excellent hotels and had a wonderful time! As far as Greece goes, it is an amazing country of welcoming and generous people, excellent food, breath-taking views and mind-blowing history. Unless you are an expert on Ancient Greece, we highly recommend booking the tour guides. They are all local and professional guides who bring each site to life and make sure you leave with a greater understanding of the life and times of long ago. We are very happy to name the best of them here: Maria (Souninon), Elena (Olympia), Mirsini (Delphi). Patricia (Meteora).

Viator overly priced tour

Great tour and totally loved our tour guide! He was the best part of our trip! But would not recommend booking any tours through Viator because we found out afterwards that Viator charged us 4 times more than our tour guide worked for. Very disappointing to our budget for this very expensive trip. Cruise was disappointing, overbooked and no experiences at all with turtles and hotel on Zakynos was bad. But still loved our tour guide...will book with his company and ask specifically for him on our next tour.

George made the trip!!

7 of us friends, including 3 couples, took the 5 day tour. It was a great time, and we learned a lot. Having the tour guides at each spot was really helpful to hear about the history without having to read about it ourselves. A warning though…it is A LOT of driving. The last two days are basically all day in the van. Also, due to wind, we didn’t get to do our boat trip to Shipwreck Beach while on Zakynthos. No one’s fault, but I hadn’t really thought about the potential of missing that. But I have to say that our driver, George, was absolutely awesome!!! He was SO much fun and accommodating and you could tell he wanted to give us the best experience possible!! HUGE thanks to George for making the trip great!!

Ancient Greece - What an amazing culture!

My daughter and I enjoyed an amazing 5 day tour of Ancient Greek sites. But it was so much more than that. Aggelos, our driver, gave us insights into Greek culture, politics, everyday life and most importantly, the history of the sights we visited. The car was great and everything was extremely well organised. We had some interesting adventures along the way and Aggelos handled problems with ease. The sites themselves were absolutely mind-blowing and will stay with us forever. To touch the ancient stones at Mycenae, to see the ruined Temple of Zeus, to see the stadium at Delphi were just a few of the many highlights of the trip. I would recommend this company to anyone. We have had the best tour!
