Fantastic tour guide Great group of travellers Everywhere we visited was of interest
Thoughts on Group Leader
Georgios shared his vast knowledge very sensitively, he told the history through stories, appropriate length to sustain interest, showed us very clear pictures of how the buildings would have looked when they were first built. All this helped bring the ancient history alive. He was thoughtful throughout, moving at a pace to suit everyone, stopping regularly and choosing shade for the stops. If he (rarely) didn't know the answer to a question he would research and provide the answer later.

I think the entire holiday was very well organised and had an interesting and enjoyable itinerary.

Delphi, Mystras and Messene.

Very enthusiastic and helpful.
Highlights of Ancient Greece
The expedition was simply wonderful and passed all expectations. The Guide was so knowledgeable – dates and places and people at her finger tips and such a lovely person. She also told us much about Greece and Greek society. She organised everything so well. I had long wanted to see these sites and learned far more than I expected to and extended my thinking on how we all live as a human race. Food was usually fresh and interesting and hotels fine everywhere
Most Inspirational Moment
Nestor's Palace near Pylos found in the Odyssey and I think Epidaurus.

Stefania was a wonderful guide - she knew so much "off the top of her head". Always interesting with history so well conveyed. Very lucky to have her on our trip
Highlights of Ancient Greece
Our tour guide Georgia’s is without a doubt the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. His knowledge of Ancient Greece was incredible and he curated the tour in a way that told the story of this wonderful country with imagination, insight and passion. Very impressed with this tour.
Most Inspirational Moment
Messenger was a great highlight. The trip notes didn't go into great detail about the site which meant it was a genuine surprise as we arrived. Restaurants chosen by our guide were all outstanding. Georgios himself was the best part of the tour.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I've been on 7 trips with Exodus and many others with other companies and hand on heart Georgios is the best guide I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. His knowledge of his country's history was so extensive it was like travelling with a history professor and his ability to relay facts, dates, myths and context in a way that was always fascinating made this trip exciting and informative. I'll be recommending this tour to everyone I know based purely on his skills as a guide.
Highlights of ancient Greece
The trip is very comprehensive seeing all the major sites and some of the lesser known sites but all added to the sense of the sophistication of Ancient Greece. George our guide was able to bring these sites to life with the stories of Greek mythology. There are some long-ish driving days but the scenery is stunning and was a great opportunity to bond with the group.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the acropolis and the vast collection at the Athens archeological museum.
Thoughts on Group Leader
George was very knowledgeable on Greek history and culture, Greek ancient mythology and very engaging with random topics of discussion. He was very organised and the trip went without any glitches.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Touch up on your Greek mythology and try to add some extra days at start/ end of your time for Athens exploration and a day trip to the Meteora monasteries (the trip used to include the Meteora monasteries but this has been dropped from the itinerary now).
Excellent trip
Really a fun and educational trip. Highly recommend for those interested in a broad overview of Greek history.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing several sites that I've heard about my entire life.

Eva is excellent. Superb........
Incredible History and Sights
The vast timeline of history on this trip was truly amazing. Many of the archeological sites we visited were in breathtaking locations. I was in awe the entire tour. Even the times we were driving from one location to the next was amazing as the landscape is so beautiful.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the old theatres, sitting in the stands and imagining what life felt like during these times. Oh and running on the original Olympic track of course!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Maria has a large and incredible knowledge of the sites we visited - we were able to ask intricate questions and receive an in depth response.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Brush up on your ancient Greek history before the tour - this will allow you to truly appreciate the sites and artifacts you see.
Ancient Greece and more

Most Inspirational Moment
Messene and Meteroa.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Maria was a very well informed guide, always happy to answer questions.
Greece from the Bronze Age to the Byzantine, with some lovely scenery too!
Thoroughly enjoyable. A good introduction to the classical sites of ancient Greece. We feel we have a much better grasp of Greek history now. We covered a lot in the time, but the pace of the trip was about right.
Most Inspirational Moment
The amphitheatre at Epidaurus, Mycenae, Meteora, Messene and the optional boat trip in Navarino Bay were all highlights.
Thoughts on Group Leader
'George' was a good tour leader. He was very knowledgeable about the history and mythology of all the places we visited. He was friendly, organised, and he worked hard to ensure that we all had an enjoyable trip. A bonus: he was a fully-qualified guide, so we didn’t need any additional local guides.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Good walking sandals are OK at many sites, but shoes are often more comfortable as it can be rough and gritty underfoot. If you are staying at the Achilleas Hotel in Athens for the second night of the trip, or are having some additional nights at the end, we can recommend two nice, unpretentious local restaurants: Neoklassiko, on the corner of Lekka towards Syntagma Square, and To Triantafyllo tis Nostimias (The Rose of Taste), which is almost opposite the hotel. The latter does great food and is a real locals’ place. Also, if you’re staying on in Athens at the end of the tour, check museum opening times as many are closed early in the week. Make sure you visit a rooftop bar at night for a spectacular view of the Parthenon.
