"I have visited Athens three times before and this was my first time truly understanding what I was looking at. Elena's depth of knowledge is astonishing. The early Acropolis visit — just our small group and the sunrise — was magical."

"Delphi was the unexpected highlight. We never would have gone without GreceTour and it was one of the most moving experiences of our lives. The archaeologist's storytelling made it completely alive."

"Excellent organisation, beautiful hotel, wonderful guide. I would have loved one more free day to explore Athens solo, but every single guided moment was outstanding."
