          George was great!
          Highly recommend this. The temple is beautiful at sunset. There’s a cafe before you get to the ticket booth for the temple. The drive down to the cape was very scenic with George pointing out lots of great neighborhoods, beaches and coves on the way. He pulled off so we could get some photos at a beautiful spot near where he went to university. Definitely worth it if you have a long enough trip to fit in the city center monuments and museums, or if it is your second time to Athens.

          Private Transfers in Greece
          Kostas and George were the best! We had a private transfer from the airport to Athens and even after some changes in our plans and locations, they were able to accomodate us! They really take pride in sharing what this beautiful country has to offer! George went above and beyond even making a few added stops for coffee, groceries, and to take some pics of the beautiful mountain side views. We can't thank them enough for making our first visit to Greece so wonderful and stress free!

          Exceptional Transportation & Sightseeing Experience
          Our group of 16 had an amazing experience with Enjoy Greece Tours! Kostas and Jim went above and beyond to make our time in Athens unforgettable. Due to the size of our group and the amount of luggage we had, Kostas arranged a 50 passenger bus for our group. This allowed us to keep our luggage with us as we toured Athens. We were very comfortable and grateful for the extra room while touring. Jim and our driver treated us like royalty as they toured us around town. We had an excellent meal at a local restaurant in Athens where we were able to taste Athens delicious cuisine. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone visiting Athens as they went above and beyond to make our experience in Athens wonderful!

          Extraordinary site with incredible guide
          Kostandinos was an amazing guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Our crew was 4 adults and 4 children, ages 14, 8, 5, and 1. On the way to Meteora, Kostandinos took us to a local bakery that was incredible. He was friendly and told stories and interesting facts about the countryside throughout the drive. He was great with the small children we had with us. He and the almost two-year-old became friends and he took her to get gelato in one of the towns. On our way home, he and the fourteen-year-old bonded over basketball and he made a special stop at Giannis Court where the fourteen-year-old got to play a pickup game - a must do for his trip. The Meteora rocks and monasteries are an incredible site to behold - unlike any other site. We visited two of the monasteries which were interesting but the drive to them and viewpoints along the way were the most spectacular part of the trip. We also had lunch near Meteora and stopped at the site of the Battle of Thermopylae (the 300 Spartans). It was a 12 hour + day but it went quickly and we had a great time. Highly recommend this tour company, especially with Kostandinos as your guide. We booked directly with them. They were easy to contact and always replied almost instantly.

          Driven to Delphi - Divine Destination
          George was friendly, informative and professional. We were grateful for his insights, the terrific tour guide he arranged at Delphi, the cold waters, his safe driving and the delicious seaside cafe he brought into for our afternoon meal. We will request George for our next adventure in an around Athens. Thank you so much !

          Great Team to work with in Athens for tours or private transfers!
          Overall, working with Kostas and his team was so easy especially after we booked the wrong date for pick up. His friendliness, attentiveness during communication and overall professionalism caused us to extend our booking from just a private transfer to also including a half day trip to Temple of Poseidon and a private transfer from city center to Airport the next day. Would highly recommend working with this group - very knowledgeable and willing to help make your Greek experience extra special.

          Best Meteora day trip experience ever (solo female traveler)
          I was in Athens for a business trip and had some open time. I had read the Meteora were a must do so I started researching - I was solo and without a car therefore it was important that the 5 hour one way drive (x2) also be nice. (Note some other tour operators actually discouraged me from this trip because of the driving time but it was on my bucket list so I proceeded anyhow.) Enjoy Greece Tours EXCEEDED expectations! George and Demetrius were my drivers and we had a blast! They were very chatty and I felt so comfortable and relaxed. I learned quite a bit about Greece - the people, the history/sites, the food and more - and had a lot of laughs too. They were polite and very considerate - I felt as if I was travelling with good friends! Once we got to Meteora they had arranged a private guide for me and made sure I was well taken care of. They drove me to many photo op locations and were super accommodating. We had a lovely meal together in addition to stops for treats and coffee. I highly recommend Enjoy Greece Tours - especially George and Demetrius - you will not be disappointed in fact you will absolutely thrilled with your experience! I will be sure to look them up when I go back!

          Excellent transfer service
          If you are looking for a transfer service from Athens airport to the city center, look no further!! Kostas and his team are absolute professionals-attentive, professional and responsive to all the questions I had. We even hired them to drive us around one day while in Athens and the experience could have not been better. Thank you Kostas for all your help! You and your team were fantastic.

          Great opportunity to learn more about Ancient Greece
          We would definitely recommend this trip if you are interested in learning more about the ancient civilisations of Greece and seeing some amazing views - especially in Mycenae and Nafplion. Our tour driver, George was friendly and knowledgeable throughout the drive and recommended a great gelato shop in Nafplion and showed us multiple great photo opportunities!

          Beautiful night sights of Athens & Piraeus
          Had a wonderful evening with Enjoy Greece Tours. Began our outing from the port and were shown all the sights in Piraeus with an absolutely delicious dinner at a local restaurant on the water for the sunset! Then off to Athens to see the sights by night culminating with the changing of the guard and the Acropolis all lit up. George our guide was very knowledgeable and funny so the entire evening was a huge success!

          Amazing sites and experience!
          This is a great tour! We really enjoyed Mystras castle and ruins. Our driver, George was very knowledgeable about the sites and everything in between. On the way from Sparta to Olympia, he decided to give us more of a tour of the mountains of southern greece than we would’ve experienced by highway, stopping at three different mountain villages with a fantastic stop for lunch in one of these villages that we would not have known about otherwise. All in all, this was a fantastic trip and some of our fondest memories of Greece as a whole. Would definitely recommend this tour and the Enjoy Greece team!

          Great experience in Delphi and Meteora!
          We had an amazing experience on this tour! Our tour driver, George, was very friendly and knowledgeable and recommended a great taverna for dinner during our overnight stay in Meteora. It was very easy to organise our tours with Kostas and he responded quickly to all of our questions. I would definitely recommend Enjoy Greece Tours!

          Reliable drivers, not tour guides.
          The tour guides are only drivers. They are very reliable with getting you to a destination and picking you up. There is little conversation during the drive and the tour guide was not knowledgeable. He kept talking on the phone to his friends. All tickets are extra and they will inform you at that moment to purchase the tickets. For the Poseidon tour which included Lake Vouliagmeni, there was a fence and you could not even get inside to see it. I would not recommend this unless you are only looking for a reliable driver.

          Excellent trip with an excellent guide
          What a fascinating trip this was, a good whistle-stop tour around four historic sites in a day, including the area where it's believed the Apostle Paul lived when he wrote his letters to the Corinthians. George was a friendly, courteous & knowledgeable tour guide with plenty of interesting information about the history of each place we visited - we really enjoyed his company. Leaving from the hotel @ 7am was initially a bit of a struggle while still adjusting to the 2-hour time difference from the UK, but we soon understood the benefit of leaving early to climb up the heights of Corinth Castle before the sun really got going! Highly recommended. :-)

          Great Tour, Jim is fabulous!
          Jim was great! He was very knowledgable in his history and facts. He also heard our dietary preferences and made appropriate recommendations. Would recommend Jim 1000/10.
