We gave our time frame to George and let him do the rest. There was a public holiday during our trip, but George was able to put together a great itinerary that worked around it and made great use of our 4 days with him. Along with our guide, Stavroula, we had great commentary and the history of all we were seeing and visiting. In addition to the "must see" sights George led us to fish farms in the mountains, wineries, ancient small towns and great food we would not have found on our own. Pick ups, drops offs, communications, and hospitality were all excellent. We heartily recommend George and Pictours to all visitors to Greece.

What our customers ask about Greece Guided Tours & Trips
What unique benefits does a fully guided tour offer for exploring Greece's historical sites?
Professional licensed guides on fully guided tours provide detailed context that transforms visits to Greece's ancient sites. At the Acropolis in Athens guides explain architectural elements of the Parthenon and Temple of Athena Nike that most visitors overlook. Sites like Ancient Delphi and Olympia come to life through stories of Greek mythology and athletic traditions. A TourRadar traveler's review of G Adventures tours noted: "Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic making every historical site come alive with fascinating details and stories that we would have missed exploring alone."
What's included in terms of meals on fully guided Greece tours?
Tour packages generally cover daily hotel breakfasts at properties like the Athens Avenue Hotel and select group dinners. Many tours add special food experiences such as Greek cooking classes or family-style taverna meals. Lunches stay flexible allowing travelers to explore local dining spots independently. According to one TourRadar review: "The included breakfasts at the Grand Meteora Hotel were excellent with both hot and cold options while group dinners gave us the chance to try authentic Greek specialties like moussaka and souvlaki recommended by our guide."
How does the accommodation vary on fully guided tours in Greece?
Tours typically book 3-4 star hotels chosen for convenient locations and reliable comfort. Athens accommodations like the Fresh Hotel or Athenaeum Grand Hotel put travelers in the city center while properties near Meteora offer monastery views. A TourRadar guest noted: "The hotels were excellent especially the Amalia Hotel in Delphi with its mountain views and the Hotel Europa in Olympia." Standard amenities include daily breakfast rooftop dining pools and updated rooms.
How does the seasonal timing affect guided tours in Greece?
The season shapes every aspect of guided tours in Greece. Summer months (June-September) bring ideal swimming weather at beaches like Voidokilia but also peak crowds. Spring and fall offer pleasant temperatures for exploring ruins like Mycenae without summer heat. One traveler shared on TourRadar: "We visited in May and had perfect weather for climbing around ancient ruins plus the wildflowers at Delphi were stunning." Winter tours mean fewer tourists and lower rates though mountain areas like Meteora may face weather disruptions.
What types of transportation are used on fully guided tours?
Modern coaches with air conditioning handle overland routes between major sites like Athens Delphi and Meteora. Island visits incorporate ferry transport to places like Santorini and Mykonos. A TourRadar review stated: "The coach was very comfortable with large windows perfect for enjoying the scenic mountain routes to Meteora." Tour operators manage all transfers including airport pickups and local site transportation.
What is the typical group size on fully guided tours in Greece?
Most guided tours accommodate 12-25 travelers though select companies like Epos Travel cap groups at 6 people. Smaller groups allow better access to guides while exploring places like Crete's Palace of Knossos or Epidaurus's ancient theater. As one TourRadar participant shared: "Our group of 15 was perfect - large enough to be social but small enough that our guide could give everyone individual attention at archaeological sites and ensure we could hear all the historical details."
