Our Ardamis Traditional Guest House in Monemvasia was exactly what we'd hoped for and actually better than we expected. Historically historic, full of character, and set in a genuinely perfect location. The host provided remarkable care and attention, making everything feel effortless, comfortable and personal. Five stars, without hesitation.

Klymeni Traditional Homes in Nafplio is the sort of place you book for a night or two and quietly wish you’d arranged your life around instead. Beautifully done, new, and extremely comfortable, we found ourselves spending most of our time simply relaxing there. The terraces offer stunning views, surrounded by orange trees, and the whole setting is wonderfully peaceful. When motivation strikes, it’s easy to call a taxi into town or have food delivered. The host was extremely helpful and always on hand. We could quite happily have moved in permanently!

Arion Athens Hotel is perfectly placed for a proper Athens experience. Set right in the heart of amazing cafés and restaurants, it feels authentically local while still being within easy reach of all the major historic sites. Despite the central location, it’s remarkably peaceful, we woke each morning to birds rather than traffic. Our room had lovely views of the Acropolis and overlooked a charming little church and courtyard, which added to the sense of place. The rollaway twin bed for our son worked perfectly, and breakfast each morning was just right to set us up for a full day of exploring. Comfortable, clean, and attentive. Exactly what you want from a city stay.

The Ancient Athens Acropolis & Mythology Walk was a great way to experience the essentials. We joined a small English-speaking group and covered both the Acropolis and the lower town, which made for a well-paced introduction. Athena, our guide, was excellent, bringing the stories and myths to life in a way that kept everything engaging and memorable. The tour leaned more toward mythology than architecture, which worked well for the group, though I’d have personally enjoyed a bit more detail on construction and design. That said, it likely struck the right balance overall.

The Private Delphi Day Trip was a highlight of our time in Greece. We were picked up from our hotel and driven through some genuinely stunning scenery, our first real glimpse of the Greek countryside, which set the day off beautifully. Marcos, our driver, shared thoughtful insights into Greek culture and daily life along the way, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination. At Delphi, Theodore brought the site to life with a clear and engaging explanation of its history, all set against those extraordinary views. The day finished with a wonderful meal at a family-run restaurant overlooking the mountains and olive groves, simple, authentic, and exactly what we'd hoped for. Seamlessly organised, truly memorable, and a perfect intro to Greece beyond Athens.

The Private Tour of Monemvasia Castle with Wine Tasting was, without question, the standout of our entire trip. If one day captures our trip for us, it’s this one. Effi met us at the castle gate and guided us all the way to the top, sharing the history as we climbed. As a former archaeologist on the site, her connection to the place was so authentic, you simply couldn't take it from a book. On the way back down, she introduced us to friends who run a small shop along the main street, where we were treated to local wines, olive oil, and delicious food. They were generous, warm, and completely our people. The kind of experience you can’t plan for, but hope to stumble into. A truly special day, and one we’ll be talking about for a long time.

The Private Tour of the Villages of Mani was one of the most relaxed and enjoyable days of the trip. Kostas and Maria made it feel entirely unhurried, shaping the day around us rather than the other way round. We explored Gytheio, the Diros Caves, Areopoli, and finished in the beautiful seaside village of Limeni, each stop offering something different, but all equally memorable. The pace was perfect, giving us time to take it all in without ever feeling rushed. What stood out most was their generosity with time. Like the rest of our Greek experience, it felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with people who genuinely cared that we were enjoying ourselves.

The Nafplio eBike Adventure was a brilliant way to explore beyond the town itself. The bikes were excellent, high-quality, all properly sized, with helmets included. We were even picked up and dropped off at our accommodation. The e-bikes made the surrounding hills feel surprisingly effortless, opening up parts of Nafplio we’d never have reached otherwise. We rode to a historic monastery, up to the main fortress overlooking the town, and then down toward the coast, stopping for a thoughtful picnic of homemade food at a small cliffside church. It felt remote, peaceful, and rather special. Hurcules himself made the day. Warm, personable, and generous with his time, he shared stories about the town, his life, and his family that gave us a much deeper sense of place. Along the way, we even stopped to pick and eat fresh oranges straight from the trees. A memorable, beautifully paced day that combined just enough activity with plenty of moments to simply take it all in.

Amazing location with great staff!

Could have stayed here for the rest of my life and been happy!

Very Nice

Great location and friendly staff

Very fun and interesting.

Delicious! Felt like a local!

Very nice. Would like to have had a little more time to hangout, but amazing nontheless.

A lot of work, but some of the most amazing views Ive ever seen! Drive back down was very windy, so if you get carsick just be prepared.

So great! We had the boat to ourselves and the captain truly made us feel special. Much better than the crowded catamarans we saw around. We were able to go place to place much faster.

Best food of the trip! The culture we saw was amazing as well. Each island truly has its own history.

Made to felt like part of the family and had some truly amazing food made by us!

Another great boat day and a perfect way to end the trip. We once again had the boat to ourselves and a great crew to make us feel special.

Super comfortable room… Great view… Extremely helpful staff… Excellent restaurant… Perfect location from which to explore Sydney…

Very friendly and helpful team… Comfortable accommodations with a nice view

An elegant oasis close to the many activities of Sydney

We had a fabulous day on our tour of the blue Mountains… Karen took us to meet Australian animals, then she took us to view the beautiful Grand Canyon of the blue Mountains… Absolutely stunning… It was a misty day, which made it even more magical…

Although it was a very hot day, the area is dramatically beautiful, and the colors were amazing… Almost out of this world…

To watch the sun come up in such an amazing place is something we will never forget… Truly, one of the most unique places in the whole world

Although we had spent the morning watching the sunrise at the rock, the sunset was even more amazing

Vickie gave us a very personalized tour… She took extra time to show us the little details and back Allyz of the rocks… She loves the history of the area and it shows! A beautiful person!

From the fish market to the spice Alley to the tiger pie, it was a super fun afternoon… And we were very full!😊

Perfect location, facilities. Great hosts.

Nice facility. Great location. Only issue is that vehicle access to the hotel is blocked by ongoing construction activity.

The Blue Mountains Day Trip with Hike was absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Larry, made the experience memorable with his insightful guidance during the hike. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed stunning views from the mountains. It was a great way to explore the natural beauty of the area, and everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend it!

Our Sydney Harbour Afternoon Sailing was magnificent. It was just the two of us with the captain, Dave, who was fantastic. We had perfect winds, and Dave let me sail a bit, which was a highlight. The boat ride took us all the way to the harbor entrance and provided great insights into local neighborhoods. The day was beautifully complemented by a tremendous lunch on board. Highly recommend this experience!

The Kayaking Sydney Harbour & Goat Island tour was a lot of fun. We had a wonderful morning paddling under the Harbour Bridge and exploring the Island. It was a unique way to see Sydney, and we got a great photo of my wife with a kayak under the bridge! Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

The Highlights of Sydney Guided Walk was really fun, and our guide Steven was excellent. We got to see a lot of the city, but there was a bit of confusion about visiting the opera house. While we got a great tour of Sydney, the opera house was only pointed out and not toured as part of this activity. We ended up visiting it on our own afterwards. Make sure to clarify this if you plan to visit the opera house.

The hotel was bit far from the city and on top of a hill so it was difficult to get to but it helped us get our steps in!

The view of the water was absolutely breathtaking to walk into!

It was nice having our own little bungalow but we were right next to a busy street and there were a few bugs.

Great location and staff. The room was small since it was in a city but exactly what we needed!

An absolutely incredible experience! We got to feed the kangaroos before the park even opened with a private guide. Can't recommend this enough!

Worth every penny! The view, the private beach, everything was perfect.

Really cool birds eye view of the city but it is a bit of a longer experience.

What better way to cross off a bucket list item other than doing it with a beautiful scenery!

Great trip but bring your bathing suits!

Guide & small group and wonderful sights
