About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- dybelinda0 contributionsUnforgettable private tour of breathtaking Hydra IslandIt was my first trip to Hydda Island; I didn’t know it would be the most perfect island hideaway! It was so picturesque but without the crowds of the more popular tourist places like Mykonos or Santorini. It was love at first sight! Plus, I had the best guide anyone could have ever asked for, Panayiotis! He was not only knowledgeable about the island, he was also very attentive, considerate, and protective of me, specially since I was alone on this trip. He would ask me my preferences every step of the way, and he would adjust the schedule accordingly. I wanted to take a lot of pictures, and he patiently and willingly became my official photographer for the day!🥰 It was indeed a memorable trip for me, and I hope to be back in Hydra Island again soon❤️Written October 8, 2024
- juliemG2856FV0 contributionsGreat Private Tour to Meteora and DelphiMy husband and I had a wonderful experience with Eudaimonia. Within an hour of booking through Viator, Niko sent an email confirmation introducing them. Our original trip was a one night, two day trip to Meteora, but after discussing date challenges with Niko we turned it into a two night, three day trip to Meteora, Delphi and Galaxidi. Our guide Panayiotis was fabulous. He spoke English quite well, was very knowledgeable, and we had very interesting conversation during the car rides. He really made the trip enjoyable. We made the mistake of leaving our passports at our first hotel on night one and did not realize it until midday of day two. Instead of letting it ruin our entire day, Niko and Panayiotis worked diligently to get them sent by courier back to Athens in time for our cruise ship embarkation. Their efforts above and beyond made us eternally grateful. We will definitely use Eudaimonia again if in Greece and will recommend them to all our friends.Written October 6, 2024
- FrankZ1090 contributionsGreece unwrapped.From the moment we contacted Nikos on WhatsApp we felt confident that we would enjoy this long trip and were in safe hands, and so it turned out to be. I must admit Greece was never on my travel radar and how wrong I was. We started our tour in Athens with an airport pickup. This is highly recommended for safety sake. I don't intend to describe our tour in detail as it can be found on their web site. The tour was split in 2 halves as we went during the busy summer period and bookings were difficult for Nikos to get. The first 4 days of the tour was with Theo who was a fabulous tour guide, driver and meal planner. He took us to great restaurants and carefully selected food that our diets tolerated. He carefully explained the history of each site, was patient and helpful. Some days were very long, in excess of 10 hours. Nonetheless no short cuts were taken. Nikos was our guide for the second part of our trip. He was careful with hotel selection - never settling for second best. The tour itself was most informative. He drove long distances in having us see only the best of Greece, picking the most historical and picturesque sites. His lunch selections were always spot on, and dinner advice based on many years of experience. All said I could not recommend this tour more.Written October 1, 2024
- glendad9570 contributionsBest day ever in Athens!We had just one day in Athens after leaving our cruise ship! Our tour guide, Theo, was so conscious of our time and fit in all the highlights he could according to traffic conditions and locality. Our lunch was amazing, and it was a perfect day to eat outdoors at a quaint restaurant that Theo chose for us! We felt very catered to as we indulged in delicious traditional Greek dishes and their own version of baklava made with pistachios! Acropolis tickets are extra (20 Euros each), but so worth it if you have not been there! We waited too late to book ours online for the 8 or 9 am slots as our Eudaimonia planner, Nikos, recommended! Listen to him, and book those slots online ahead of time! He knows best! At 11 am, it is crowded with tour bus visitors! We chose not do the museum due to our time limit. The changing of the guards in Athens is different than any other you may have experienced! It’s a must-see! Theo timed everything perfectly to get us there just prior, drop us off, and no waiting to pick us up! Nikos’s wife also treated us to homemade cookies made with ousa and raisins! So, so delicious! An unexpected treat! We really hated for our tour to end and we saw much more than I’ve mentioned here! From our pickup at the cruise port to our drop off at our hotel, our 9 hours with Theo was well-spent and thoroughly enjoyed by four of us! We loved asking him all kinds of questions and getting to know him. We learned about his life as well as the culture there and the city of Athens! He was very knowledgeable, had just a charming personality and was such a gentleman! We felt we had the cream of the company’s tour guides! From the moment we booked, Nikos was in contact with us by email/What’s App to help him get to know us and make suggestions for our tour. Feel confident that when you book with Nikos at Eudaimonia Private Tours that your tour will be customized to your needs/likes and will be well worth your time and investment!Written September 27, 2024
- LHS1234560 contributions4-Day tour of Nafplio, Olympia, Delphi and Meteora.Went on this tour with Eudaimonia - arranged by Nikos who was very responsive to queries and arranging this wonderful tour. Our driver/guide was Theodore, an exceptionally great guide - very helpful with info and an archeologist which obviously made a difference before visiting the ancient sites. Accomodation was excellent (for the price of the tour), local food fare was good (we should have listened to Theo for his recommendation for dinner!). Plenty of time to explore the sites and always with an informative overview of each site by Theo. Overall, I highly recommend Eudaimonia and especially Theo for his excellent services. Kudos!Written September 25, 2024
- LexEspana0 contributionsIncredible Private Tour of Greece, highly recommend!Eudaimonia Private Tours and Nikos will organize an outstanding tour just for you! Our guide, Panayiotis, was the perfect match! He went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. From beginning to end our experience was memorable and educational as we hoped. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous AND fun! We had a lot of laughs and learned so much about Greek culture. We enjoyed the city of Athens; the towns of Dmitsana, Nafplio, and Mycenae; the island of Hydra; numerous archaeological sites; a wine tasting and private tour at Skouras winery, and hiking to name a few. Driving through the all around beauty of the Peloponnese was breathtaking. Eudaimonia takes the stress out of planning tour sites, restaurants, hotels, and getting from one location to another. Panayiotis took us to delicious local restaurants for lunch where we happily let him order and were always very pleased with his choices. We would recommend our tour to everyone! We’ve only scratched the surface of discovering Greece and would go back to Eudaimonia Private Tours, Nikos and Panayiotis again and again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!Written September 20, 2024
- scotthJ3266CG0 contributionsLove the tour and our guide was outstanding!Our time with Panos on this tour was absolutely outstanding. We were scheduled to go to the Meteora Monasteries but pivoted due to iffy weather. We could not have been happier with the change of plans. Panos , our guide, was courteous, kind, extremely well informed and willing to share with us all he knew of our destinations and Greece in general. He was a well of information and was able to answer our many questions about Greek culture and traditions. As a plus, Panos took us to a local restaurant for lunch where we had an excellent meal. We never would have found this place and the experience was outstanding! We would recommend this tour and this guide service! Panos was excellent.Written September 18, 2024

- yowenfraz0 contributionsPhenomenal. Dreamy. Do it.Phenomenal experience with breathtaking views as well as historical, religious, cultural and architectural inspirations. We concluded the tour with a delicious local Greek meal chosen by our guide, which just made the overall experience dreamy. Panayiotis, our guide, was informative, professional, helpful, hospitable and knowledgeable while also being personable, engaging and fun. I highly recommend this private tour and will definitely choose Eudaimonia on our next Greek adventure!Written September 15, 2024
- 221menis0 contributionsDoor to door top serviceThe tour was modified to suit our requirements with no fuss. It was a special day and nothing was too difficult for Panagiotis. My cousin and I truly enjoyed ourselves and the service was top notch. Thank you for a very memorable day.Written September 3, 2024
- Meander606212740650 contributionsGreat island and great tour guide!We loved Panayiotis and the picturesque Hydra Island he guided us around. Panayiotis was incredibly fun and informative with sharing his vast knowledge and experience about Hydra. He made us feel very comfortable and safe exploring this serene and relaxing little oasis. Also, he made sure we ate some delicious local food. We highly recommend this trip with Eudaimonia private tours and Panayiotis! David and LeslieWritten August 30, 2024
- melaniemX7127JC0 contributionsJust great!Great Island with nice restaurants! The Scenerie is very calming yet exciting as you can see breathtaking architecture and still see authentic greek lifestyle there. Our guide Panayiotis was amazing and has taught us a lot about life and history on the island. He was very friendly, professional and empathetic. I would always book the trip again or contact the agency again. Great work!Written August 29, 2024
- grondinj700 contributions5 star company!Where do I start? Can't say enough about how fantastic this company is. Nikos, whom I communicated and organized our trip over several emails, assisted us in a custom tour of Greece, understanding our needs and dreams come true. He is very attentive and responds quick to detail and making sure we will get the best vacation that suits our needs. 5 stars to Nikos. Our driver, Theo, another 5 stars is punctual, professional and always making sure we are comfortable throughout our new journeys exploring the city and countryside. Theo is very educated and knowledgeable, and personable, sharing information about the area and history. He would be a great ambassador for his country, and if people were more like him in the world, we would live in a better place. Eudaimonia Private Tours in Greece is highly recommended and you surely won't be disappointed.Written August 9, 2024

Picked out a delicious lunch and had great bar/restaurant suggestions in Athens. This trip was a great value and worth the drive from AthensWritten July 29, 2024
- JoeJones20610 contributionsA DAY IN DELPHIFirst and foremost Panayiotis was AMAZING!!! My partner and I along with two of our friends did the Delphi private tour. We explained to Mr. P as we like to call him that my partner was recovering from some health issues and he would be moving slowly as the trek to the top might prove challenging for him. Panayiotis assured us it would not be a problem and we didn’t feel pressured to move quickly. He was attentive and considerate of our pace. As far as the tour itself….. It was breathtakingly beautiful! Panayiotis was informative and knowledgeable, he was fun and engaging with a great sense of humor and kept us laughing the whole time. It was indeed a pleasure to meet him and have him as our guide. Thank you Mr. P.Written July 13, 2024

Our mother-daughter exploration of the Peloponnese was a dream trip long time in the planning, and Nikos helped us customize an 11-day itinerary that made it memorable in so many ways. Nikos' thorough communication both during the planning and travel phases ensured that all of our intentions for the trip were met. He even helped build in a day to visit a mountain village not usually considered in the itinerary to seek out family connections, and this was an experience that held a lot of personal sentiment.
Our guide Theo was both personable and professional, and he made it easy for us to savor every moment. This included driving safely through narrow and windy roads (sometimes with goats as traffic!), expertly translating and helping us communicate, filling the table with wonderful food everywhere we went, and answering every question we had even when it was obscure. He offered the balance of flexibility and structure that we could not achieve if traveling on our own or in a larger group.
We really appreciated all aspects of the trip including the accommodations, vehicle, knowledge, locations, and personal touches. There is clearly a lot of pride that goes into running this business, and it shows in the quality of experience.

Review of Mythical Peloponnese and Hydra Island 10 day tour
Wow! Where do I begin……we have just returned one of the best and stress free holidays we have ever had. Apart from an hour conversation with Nikos as part of the planning we didn’t have to do a thing except turn up!
This holiday was part of our 60th birthday celebrations and planning started back in January. We arranged a WhatsApp call with Nikos, not easy with the time difference as we live in New Zealand, we chatted for over an hour to discuss what we were looking for, it was clear from the start that we would enjoy a ‘unique’ taylor made experience.
It was lovely to meet Nikos for a coffee prior to starting the tour, we spent time with him exploring some, less well know, parts of Athens. A fabulous experience.
Pick up was very early on a Sunday morning. Our guide and driver, Theo, has a masters degree in archeology and history so was extremely knowledgeable. He was excellent company for our whole tour, by the end we felt we had made a friend! We were very happy that he was driving, so calm and confident through the many narrow cobbled streets and mountain roads with tight turns and hairpin bends.
This tour is not just about the history, scenery or culture it is also an outstanding food experience. Trust your guide to do the ordering, everyday Theo took us to a local restaurant. There was always a speciality local dish local which were excellent. The food for the entire tour was absolutely delicious, as were the local beers and wines. As lunch was normally between 2-3pm, and plentiful we never needed dinner in the evening.
If you want to experience and explore the real Greece, see amazing scenery, beaches, castles, historic sites. monasteries and much more with an experienced and wonderful guide then this company won’t disappoint. It is clear that everyone who is evolved with Eudaimonia tours take great pride in their work and want you to have the best experience
10/10 from the kiwi’s!!
Thank you so much Nikos and Theo

Nikos and Theo really knocked it out of the park for Eudaimonia Tours! Nikos was super communicative and accommodating when it came to planning tour logistics months in advance when we booked. From pickup times and locations, to detailed info about our guide, Theo, and even food preferences, he really took the time to personalize our experience.
Theo was an unbelievable guide. He was extremely punctual on all pickups and drop offs, and I’m talking about getting us to the airport at 5pm on the dot after learning our needs - NOT 4:59, NOT 5:01, but 5:00 EXACTLY. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about all of the historical and cultural aspects of the tour at every location. He truly made us feel like close friends he was sharing the experience with, not just clients on a tour. He was happy to chat with small talk, go into detail about Greece, or simply drive in silence while my wife and I napped intermittently on the travel segments. He was great at reading the situation. His advice led us to discovering new foods and getting opportunities to photograph areas many tourists don’t have opportunity to capture.
Even after the tour was over, we continued communicating with the owner, Nikos, about additional transportation we required for returning to the airport after a subsequent stop in Santorini. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Eudaimonia tours, and was not disappointed with any aspects of the trip! We will absolutely book with them if we’re ever traveling in Greece again!
