Amazing journey through Greece - We enjoyed an unforgettable tour throughout a large part of Greece, travelling to the deep south of the Mani ; central Greece (Arachova and Delphi), the Pelion Peninsula, Volos and Vergina in the north. The tour included outstanding scenery, amazing ancient sites, a wide range of architectural styles and some great restaurants and tavernas. Throughout the trip our driver and guide, Tas, was informative, thoughtful and above all entertaining. This was our fourth tour with Tas and it will not be our last. Each one has been a memorable experience!

The Taz Tour is a special experience - Taz is masterful at combining the best places from ancient Greece with great restaurants and great places to stay. I have done two ten day tours with my sons; in 2018 with my son Caden, a classics major in college who is now in a PHD program in classics, and in 2022 with Caden and his 17 year old brother Connor, who has also studied ancient Greek for 3 years in high school. Taz had great discussions with them. Of course, the various sites are magnificent. Taz is knowledgeable and great fun. We like to hike all around sites like Delphi, AcroCorinth, Mystra and Monemvassia and Taz never rushed us, graciously waiting while we explored these marvelous places. Taz seems to know everybody and the restaurants and hotels he selects treated us like old friends. Great food; great people. We are planning another tour focusing on Northern Greece and into Albania.

An exceptional experience getting to know the true Greece! - Our tour was nothing short of exceptional. We truly saw the true Greece , it’s beauty both historically and the breath talking landscapes and shore lines. We learned a great deal of its history and the impact on Greece today. We met beauty and friendly people and the cuisine across the country is even better than the cuisine experience where most of the tourists go. Our driver and guide, Tas, was exceptional. A skillful driver driving the challenging countryside roads and his knowledge of Greece’s history added a colourful and informative feature to our time together. We enjoyed our time together, and his choices and recommendations for different dining venues were always excellent. Thank you Tas for making our trip memorable.

Hugely enjoyable tour - We enjoyed a bespoke tour, including Delphi, Thermopylae, Meteora, Zagorohoria, Nafpaktos, Monemvasia, Nafplio and Arkadia. We had an amazing time, and have brought home a huge number of wonderful memories. This was our third tour with Tas, and as always he was well organised, timely, knowledgeable, thoughtful, caring and above all entertaining. The tour was planned to fit our requirements at an affordable price, and allowed us to visit a number of places that we have always wanted to see at a relaxed and leisurely pace. We look forward very much to touring with Tas again in the future.

Beatiful memories of winter in Greece - We had a 14 days private tour with Anastasios. Excellent experience, very well organized , timely and affordable tour that helped us to learn about the ancient Greece , Greek culture and Greek people. In a short period of time, we were able to see different parts of Greece and even added some places per our request. This tour was very well-planned and we left Greece with great memories about this beautiful country and the hospitality of Greek people. Also, all the hotels and restaurants that our tour guide recommended were excellent and affordable. Great tour company and the best tour guide that we could ever imagine. Me and my family fell in love with Greece and Greek people. Highly recommended.
