        The visit to the royal tombs at Virginia is a must do!
        Wow! What a wonderful tour! The visit to the royal tombs was the absolute highlight of our holiday in Greece. Our guide, Dimitra, was a delight and a wealth of knowledge. I warned that we intend to return to Thessaloniki to join her on another of her guided tours. This is a must do tour for any visitors to Thessaloniki.

        This was a very beautiful location. Unfortunately, you spend way too much time on the bus about four hours in each direction, but was worth the expense of going . I did enjoy myself.

        Never received ticket
        I never received my email w/the ticket. I also checked my junk mail. The day of tour, I called the number for assistance. She advised me to install the viator app & that the ticket was sent through the app. In the app however it said this was my voucher to redeem on site for my ticket. I stood in line for ticket booth for 30 minutes & was told I was in the wrong line. She said I had to download the ticket online. I had no international data on my phone. I was tired of dealing w/viator & decided to purchase another ticket if I wanted to see the acropolis. The whole experience was frustrating.

        Mycenae, Epidaurus, and Nafplio
        This was an amazing tour to Mycenae, Epidaurus, and Nafplio. The bus was very comfortable. Our guide (Irene) was simply amazing with her knowledge. I was really looking forward to Mycenae, which were so impressive, but I was really surprised with Epidaurus and how much there was there to see and what that site represented. And Nafplio was a fun stop and very beautiful.

        Beautiful sunset, many delays
        I thought everything was very delayed, told to go to hotel Athens at 3:55, bus arrived at 4:20, went to office and left at 4:45pm, after that went smooth. Would have liked more info about the site. More history. Overall, the Ruins at sunset were beautiful

        First guided tour, great tour guide, highly recommended.
        The site of the tour (Delphi) exceeded expectations. Our tour guide, Irene, from Key Tours was great. She made the trip to Delphi fun and informative. Her knowledge and great effort to provide interesting commentary on the site was very much worth the cost. I would definitely recommend an expert guided tour for all outdoor site seeing in Greece-it’s worth it. I personally would recommend against including the prepaid lunches because it was possible to get lunch at the same location for those who prepaid as well as for those who didn’t. The location for the lunch was nice but the food was a bit lower in comparison with other food I’ve had while in Greece. The bus was nice. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this tour and I’d use the same tour guide again if I come back to Athens.

        Had to call to get actual ticket. Lost a half hour in the wrong lines clearing up ticket confusion. Received a pdf that said it was NOT a ticket, and another ticket that also was NOT a ticket.

        Great trip, glad we did it!!
        The hotel was nice. There is plenty of free time after Delphi. Was able to squeeze in the Delphi Museum, which was not on the schedule. Meteora Monasteries was a bit crowded during the guided tour, but there is enough free time afterward to explore on your own. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative!

        We were never emailed our actual tickets. After waiting in line I was told my voucher would not gain entry and to contact Viator. I did as instructed on what’s app and 30 minutes later they sent a link to the same voucher. It took another 20 minutes to finally get our actual tickets. Not the best experience! The museum was awesome though despite the difficulty getting in.

      We are currently on the last day of this tour. We booked this 4 day tour directly with Key Tours in March 2022. At that time (and still currently posted on their website) they specified a maximum of 26 on the tour. We booked their tour because of this low maximum.

      We started the tour with 20 guests. On the second day we were told that 20 more guests would be joining us on the third day. As it turned out, 19 others joined the tour after lunch to pack the bus giving a total of 39.

      We no longer felt safe on the bus and reached out to Key Tours to request a refund for the 1.5 days when they exceeded their advertised maximum. Their speedy reply was: “I am sorry for this.
      The information about max 26 people, is from when the we had this restriction because of Covid-19.
      This restriction is not valid any more. By mistake this information was note updated in our website.”

      We believe that Key Tours should have notified us of the increase in group size and given us the option to cancel. Or, they could have advertised that the group number was subject to change due to COVID protocols. They did neither.

      We paid for a four day tour with a maximum of 26. Key Tours failed to deliver the product we purchased. Beware!!!

      Absolute joy, just ticked every box, would say go with the First Class accomodation. We chose standard class, the Astey Olympia hotel is amazing and worth a stay on its own.
      The sites are breathtaking, do yourself a favour and chose the 4 day as you will not regret.

      Bus comfort awesome, bus driver (Panos) was the best...our expert guide (Yiouli), well she was amazing. Knowledge and story telling is A1 first class.

      Best tour ever, really engaging and time spread well. First day was big, tour allows plenty of time to digest the wonderful sites of Greece.

      What an amazing 4 days. The tour guide picked us up at our hotel as was previously planned, and we were then brought to the main office where we were joined by the rest of the travellers. There were 12 of us on this tour at the beginning which was nice because it was easy to get to know everyone. I'm not sure if we were just lucky, but we had a great group. Our tour guides name was Youille. She was just amazing, and very knowledgeable. There wasn't really any point in the trip where my wife and I felt bored.

      On the 3rd day, we were joined by another group and at that point, the bus was now full. I'm not going to spend much time talking about all the stops, however, I will mention how this trip is absolutely worth it. The accommodations were great, the meals were fantastic, and all the visited locations were something special to see.

      Happy travels!

      A comprehensive and hectic Greek history tour. Good, if one is a history buff. The continuous lectures for 4 days were too detailed to benefit sight-seeing tourists. The knowledgeable guide's preoccupation and over-emphasis on delivering lengthy details on mythology and history, meant that there was VERY LITTLE TIME left for tourists to SEE the actual displays. Just some relevant information, guidelines and 'bullet' points would have been more helpful and enjoyable. (Further, do choose the better hotels for the same price!)

      Dear Guest, Thank for your valuable time to leave us your feedback. As far as your first comment, on a regular trip, we always try to meet the expectations of different people with different tastes. I fully understand your point but in a diversified group, there are always participants that are strongly interested in Greek history and mythology. Furthermore, we always try to choose the best hotels each area has to offer. I believe that you noticed that the villages were quite small with few accommodation options. Once again thank you and hope to give us the opportunity to serve you again. Kind Regards, Dimitris Bistolas | Managing Director

      The sights are amazing, the tour itself is very rushed. Even though you are at lunch "on your own", the bus takes you to assigned spots where the service is questionable. If you are into History, make sure to do your own research of the places as our guide wasn't very knowledgeable. Google had more answers than her. The Monasteries are beautiful and not at all what you would expect in Greece.

      My wife and I and 10 year old son recently completed the 4-day Classical Greece tour which included: Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi, Meteora. We chose this specific tour so we could see all the major ruins sites throughout mainland Greece. My son has recently read the Percy Jackson novels and is really into Greek Mythology. As I researched different tours and companies I came across this one and it seemed perfect. I ready the reviews and over and over I read about one of the Tour Guides Marianna Tsigaridou. I couldn't have been more pleased when we first arrived not knowing who our guide would be or what kind of bus we'd have. I was so thankful and blessed to find out the first half of our tour was in a very comfortable small Mercedes bus and Marianna was our guide. The second half of the tour we merged with a larger group on a larger bus but Marianna was still our guide. She is such an amazing woman who was a constant source of information for us. As we traveled from region to region she told us everything I could ever expect to know about the history and current status. At each ruins site we visited she had an incredible grasp of knowledge and had several books with her which she used to show very informative pictures. She took a special interest in my son once she found out his interest in Greek Mythology and enjoyed quizzing him. I've been on many guided tours but I've NEVER been more happy with a guide as I was with Marianna. Her knowledge, passion for everything Greece was the highlight of our 9 days in Greece. I recommend KeyTours as a company (I had several emails back and forth and the people emailing me were extremely efficient and knowledgeable), this tour (captured everything we wanted), both our bus drivers were fantastic, and with any luck you'll have Marianna as well. THANK YOU so much Marianna for making our vacation!

      Our guide Angeliki and driver Lucas were amazing! I would recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in learning more about the rich history of Greece. We chose the 3 star hotel option, the first and last hotel were fine but the second hotel in Delphi was in desperate need of some maintenance and deep cleaning though.

      This was our first visit to Greece and we wanted to see many places over a few days. This was an excellent tour. Our group began as a group of 6 which was brilliant, and 21 for the last two days. Our guide Marianna Tsigaridou provided sophisticated and insightful commentary that helped us to connect the locations, the history and the legends of the place - we were all fully engaged at all times. The combination of the sites and their associated museums was a powerful way of learning.The hotels that we used we of high quality - each very different from the other, but all with generous and comfortable rooms. Breakfasts in each were excellent and we were able to enjoy Greek breakfasts.

      My wife & I are 70 y.o. & have traveled extensively. Previously we have rented a car & booked our own accommodation. This was the first 'booked tour' we have been on & we will probably do future travels by booking tours, because it was so much easier. We were collected at our hotel, we relaxed while the bus driver negotiated the journey. Our entry to sights was made easy by our guide collecting entry tickets, shepherding us thru the entry points & providing history & details of the places we visited along our journey. When we arrived at the hotel our our accommodation was already arranged & out bags taken to our room.
      Having a competent & knowledgeable guide was much easier & more informative than reading the information panels, trying to remember & then forgetting most of it.
      Our guide Marianna Tsigaridou was excellent. She was very competent & patient dealing with all questions & problems anyone on the tour had.
      My only negative is that we elected 'Standard Accommodation'. Two of the hotels were fine, but the hotel in we stayed at in Delphi was not. The staff were fine but the hotel was old & below the standards of the other hotels in Olympia & Kalambaka.

      This tour was hands down the highlight of my two-week trip to Greece. I really had a great time touring the mainland and listening to the guide's very thorough and interesting explanations every step of the way. Mariana Tsigaridou was the tour guide, a native Greek who has been doing this for over 30 years! She did a fantastic job not only delivering all the information, telling us when great views were approaching, handling hotel reservations each night, and paying for our tickets into each monument, but she then did it all over again in Italian as well as English! Watching her switch back and forth between languages, which must be a very exhausting process having to repeat yourself like that, was really incredible -- all for just two Italian women with us. Mariana definitely went above and beyond every day and did the absolute best job possible in providing the best tour experience possible. All the hotels were very nice and with amazing views right out of the balcony. Mariana also paid for baggage services so we didn't have to carry our luggage from the bus to our rooms and in the mornings we simply put our luggage outside the door to have it returned to the bus for us. That was a really big convenience I didn't expect, and especially since I had a particularly large and heavy bag that really made a big difference in my energy for walking throughout the days.

Indeed Marianna, one of our best guides, has been doing a great job for the last 30 years and she is able and willing not only to deliver all the information, tell you when great views are approaching, handling hotel reservations each night, and paying for your tickets into each monument and able to do all over again in Italian as well as English. Hope to hear that we did everything possible to make your tour really comfortable. Hope to see you soon in one of our future tours. Kindest Regards, Dimitris Bistolas | Îśanaging Director
