          Wonderful private excursion of Oia, Fira and Perissa Beach
          We were on a Mediterranean cruise and one stop was in Santorini. We did not want to book our cruise ship tours so we booked a private driver through Siva Private Tours who took our family of 14 on a private tour of Santorini for a 6 1/2 hours independent tour. Our driver picked us up at Fira Cable Car and we drove to Oia where we spent 2 1/2 hours sightseeing and shopping. Then he drove us to Perissas Beach that he recommended where we had lunch and had 3 1/2 hours of beach time on the black beach. After swimming he drove us back to Fira where we took cable car back to cruise ship. They got us back in plenty of time to board our ship. Siva was extremely helpful in planning my tour and I highly recommend them.

          Best Private tour!
          Our private tour lead by Sotiris Pirounias was phenomenal. He was sooo knowledgeable and engaging. I could listen to him talk all day! He even took photos for us and found the best viewpoints. We would never have learned nearly as much if we had not had his expertise. Our driver was also very professional. 10/10

          Great tour, better guide!
          Our guide was so nice and knowledgeable, she took to to ask what we wanted to learn about and tailored our half day to us. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone, especially if they get our guide!

          Fantastic Athens Tour!
          Our tour guide, Natalia, was fantastic. Super friendly and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our day especially the Acropolis museum tour.

          Siva all the way
          We booked a long excursion through Greece through a travel agent in the US (Audley). They worked with Siva for the on-the-ground logistics and details. We used private drivers and guides for our family. It was nothing but top-notch the entire time. We went all over the mainland to many sites throughout Greece and also spent some time in Crete. Every single time the driver was on time and professional and the tour guide was informative. In addition, the hotels were very nice. Well done, Siva.

          You will not be disappointed
          My husband and I went on the Delphi tour today with Constantine (Deana). She was absolutely amazing. We could not have hoped for a better experience- she was very knowledgeable and able to share the history in an interesting and easy to follow way. Her love of the history and her enthusiasm were delightful. I am already looking on the Siva website for other tour offerings because we were so happy after our experience today. We did take a different company for the Acropolis tour before this Delphi tour and this tour was 1,000 times better!! If I could do the Acropolis tour over I would have chosen Siva.

          Excellent and very intellectually stimulating
          The whole thing!!! Joanna, our guide was extremely knowledgeable, patient and so informative with all the sites and history. We then went to the Acropolis Museum which tied everything we saw and heard about together and into reality. We then toured the city and she showed us the highlights of the city before taking us to a nice Greek restaurant called Kozina. We have never had a bad meal in Greece yet and this one certainly didn't disappoint! Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend the service and, especially, Joanna!

          Acropolis tour
          In September 2022 my wife and I were in Athens, Greece. In Athens we wanted to see the Acropolis & the Acropolis museum so we decided to book a private tour with Silva Private Tours. Our private tour guide Ourania Panoutsou was awesome. She was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the Acropolis. She was able to answer all of our questions and took her time explaining the history of the Acropolis. If you are in Athens and want to tour the Acropolis I highly recommend that you contact Silva Private Tours and request Ourania Panoutsou as your private tour guide. You will not be disappointed.

          What a great way to learn about Athens. The city is magnificent and our guide provided a wealth of information about the history of what we had seen. She was very personable and accommodating. The driver was very personable and the car was spotless. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Athens.

          Well worth doing. Eva was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. She brought the city, it’s history, sites and museum to life. If you have limited time in Athens then this is a must to enrich your visit.

          Beyond Athens!
          What a fabulous day!! We saw so much and its detail was explained in such easy to understand terms that the past truly came to life. We had the best guide ever!! She knew so much and answered every question. She took us to a great place for lunch and continued our education of Greece over lunch. We were tired but happy at the end ot the tour. This is a must for the realization of the past we have read about but never seen! The personalization of a private tour made this experience even more meaningful. Totally recommend this agency

        We choose this trip because we really wanted to experience Delphi without driving. Our bus driver was skillful beyond tourists comprehension. We made one stop each way.

        The site was wonderful and worth experiencing. Our guide was informative; but, there was not enough time to climb the whole site. The Delphi museum entrance fee was included. Some of the members of the tour wanted to climb up to the stadium which wasn't in the timeline of the tour; so, we opted to forgo the museum and climbed higher to include it which was worth it.

        Coming back into Athens, some of the streets were blocked off as a result of a demonstration. Our guide and bus driver were flexible to drop us off safely at our designated hotels. We stayed at an Air BNB and we were picked up at a near by hotel which the touring company arranged.

        The lunch was great. Those who did not choose the lunch option at the time of booking were able to opt into it on the fly. The others were dropped off in the closest town and were given a time for pick up.

        Today's tour of Delphi was amazing. Anna found us at our meeting place in the Plaka, and accompanied us with rich narrative for the rest of the day. George, our driver, drove fabulously through dynamic city traffic and winding roads.

        As another reviewer commented, Anna was encyclopedic in her knowledge and passionate about Greek history. She brought the ancient tales of the Greek gods alive in a way that I have not experienced before. She was attentive to our needs, our pace, and our myriad of questions.

        Absolutely worth it - both the tour, the guides and of course the destination.

        Our private day trip to Delphi was all we expected and more! The historical site was well worth the trip! Our guide, Foteini, was very knowledgeable and had so many interesting things to tell us! Our driver, Yannis, was great and the van that was provided for four of us was very comfortable. Lunch in the town of Delphi was delicious and the view from the restaurant was spectacular! We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends.

        Our family enjoyed a most delightful day with a knowledgeable and gregarious private guide and driver as we were able to tour the amazing archaeological sites and artifacts of Delphi and the surrounding area. The museum's stunning collection and our guides insights proved enlightening and memorable. Our guide and driver shared a most incredible local restaurant for lunch which remains one of our best experiences during our time in Greece. Thank you!

        Stephanie was our guide and Eddie was the van driver. This tour is on time and well organized for information and sight seeing. Our guide discussed history and mythology because of my groups' interests, but she also answered many questions about Greece today. Eddie drove 5 guests and Stephanie in a Mercedes van, very comfortable. Eddie was super helpful and thoughtful all through the day. The lunch spot was excellent for food and wine, looking out over the sea. All aspects were orchestrated for our pleasure and comfort. My friends and I strongly love this tour. Highly recommended.
