    Kirsten about Thomas

    "My daughter and I had a fabulous day exploring Napflio and seeing the Corinth Canal with Thomas. The day started with punctual pick up at our lodging. Thomas generously supplied us with a cooler of water and iced coffee for our journey. His knowledge and love of Greek history made the experience so rich. On top of our tour, he messaged us with so many recommendations for things to do, restaurants to try for our remaining days in Athens and Naxos. He truly went above and beyond and is just a lovely person to spend a day with. We highly recommend Thomas!"

    A day with Ioannis

    "Ioannis is a charming, knowledgeable host with a warm personality and a good sense of humor. He was accommodating and flexible throughout our time together, a great driver, and a wonderful storyteller who brought Greek history and interesting facts about Greece to life, while sharing fascinating information that we had never known before. As a world traveler and terrific conversationalist, he also shared stories and insights from his experiences in other countries. We were truly delighted and grateful to have Ioannis as our guide and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching experience in Greece. "

    Anchovies with Ioannis

    "My husband, mom (85 years old!) and I had the best day with Ioannis. We learned a lot, laughed a lot and saw a lot. After seeing many things along the way, we had a fun lunch in Nafplio where we ate fried anchovies and mussels. Both delish and Ioannis successfully coaxed a picky 85-years old to eat not one but three anchovies. A real accomplishment! At the end of the day, Ioannis graciously helped us with a hotel transfer which was above and beyond. Do not hesitate, book a day with Ioannis and enjoy his knowledge, perspective and great sense of humor."

    Fantastic Nafplio & Epidauros Day

    "A day trip to Nafplio and Epicurus was not long enough. Both places had so much history and the scenery is beautiful. Ioannis our guide is so knowledgeable in Greek history. Friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend Ioannis to anyone who would like to know more about Greek culture."

    Great host.

    "We had a very memorable and enjoyable experience with Ioannis. It was not just a guided tour, but a very warmly felt time spent with a great host, being so knowledgeable, accommodating and caring. Our time at Nefplio was fascinating with Ioannis taking us on a guided walk of the town, showing us every heritage fountains in the neighborhood. I fully recommend Ioannis if you are looking for a friendly and affectionate host, to have a relaxing and worthwhile time for your travel in Athens and nearby."

    Anesha about Ioannis

    "We had a wonderful tour of the Peloponnese with Ioannis. It was great to hear his perspective on the country, its history, and culture, as it added a layer of insight you wouldn’t get from a typical tour. Since we visited during the low season in winter, he also thoughtfully suggested alternative stops along the way so we could still make the most of our time. Before each site, Ioannis prepared us with helpful background and context, which made the visits more meaningful. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a more tailored and insightful way to explore the country."

    Lovely trip to Nafplio + many other sites

    "We had a great day out with Thomas to visit not only Nafplio, but also the sites of Mykines, Ancient Corinth, the castle of Akrokorinth, the Canal of Corinth, the world's oldest bridge, and last but not least the Ancient city of Epidaurus. Although it was raining the whole day, Thomas went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and he was very knowledgeable on several historical topics. We went for lunch in Nafplio in a typical Greek tavern where we enjoyed the perfect Saganaki. On our trip back home we discovered we shared the same taste for 80's music and he treated us to the perfect DJ-set. We will definitely contact Thomas again when we're back in Athens. Efcharisto poli !"

    Fantastic Nafplio Tour with Thomas

    "We had a fantastic day with Thomas on our tour to Nafplio and the Theatre of Epidaurus. He is extremely knowledgeable about Greek history and culture, and shared his insights in such an engaging and enthusiastic way that the whole family enjoyed it. Thomas is also very warm and friendly, and clearly passionate about Greek heritage. He went out of his way to give us a thorough and memorable tour, showing us not just the highlights but also the details that brought everything to life. With our two young kids along, we also appreciated how safe and careful he was as a driver — we always felt at ease. All in all, Thomas is an excellent guide and a genuinely great person. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an insightful, safe, and enjoyable tour experience in Greece"
