          Athens private family tour
          We had a private tour to the Temple of Poseidon as well as Lake Vouliagmeni. Our driver was very courteous and took us to a great beachside location for lunch. He was very kind and friendly to our kids (3 kids between 7 and 12) and even ensured they had their favourite music for the trip. Our guide for the temple was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging with the kids, which made the experience a delight for all the family (happy kids = happy parents). I would highly recommend this tour operator, their communication was great and were polite and helpful with all our requests and needs, even when it wasn't one of their typical tours.

          Amazing views.
          It is a very long day, but it is well worth the time. Over 3 hours drive in the morning and another 3 hours in the evening. The place is amazing. We saw incredible views and heard a lot of interesting facts about the place. Meteora is different from everything that I have seen so far. The monasteries are very interesting, but in my opinion, the tour is worth for the views alone. Our guide was Mr George and he is very entertaining and easygoing. Aside from the story of the place, during the long ride, we talked about greek politics, culture, economy, and international relations. Don't miss the chance to get a deeper understanding of the culture. Overall I recommend this tour 100%. The stop at Thermopolis battle place in the way back is a bit disappointing, as aside from a monument, it is not like we imagine after watching the 300.

          We went on a rainy morning and had the place all to ourselves. Giorgos was a great driver and guide and made sure we had the experience we wanted.

          Beautiful Sunset Tour to Cape Sounio
          ​We recently took the half day sunset tour to the Temple of Poseidon, and I cannot tell you how great an experience we had! Our driver, Theo, was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. You could tell that he took pride in his country and was excited to share it with others. We got to the temple in time for a majestic sunset. The views were spectacular! It really is a place you should visit. The setting and scenery is far more beautiful and intimate than the commercialized and crowed Parthenon. Theo made us feel like out-of-town friends visiting with him and showing us the sights! He went above and beyond what I would expect from a tour guide, giving us insider tips and showing us sights "off the beaten path." On the way we stopped at other sites including Lake Vouliagmeni and more. Theo took pictures for us and added local flair to the entire trip! We enjoyed that tour so much that we wished to schedule another tour. I was having trouble booking online (it looked like there wasn't availability) but when I reached out to Crispy Local directly, they were very accommodating and even asked if we would like to have Theo again as our driver. We were thrilled that Theo agreed to take us on this second tour as it was his scheduled day off! The second tour was even better than the first. I would highly recommend Crispy Local and Theo especially!

          Such an easy day tour from Athens especially if you are short on time from visiting the farther islands. Get to see 3 different islands all unique in their own way. Jordan who lead the VIP experience was amazing!!

          Highly recommend this tour and would use Crispy Local’s services in the future.
          We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Cape Sounio. Our driver, George, was full of interesting stories and explaining points along the way. We opted for a guide of the Temple, which was well worth it. Our guide, Terpsi, explained the significance of the temple, its strategic importance and some fun facts that you would not know of unless you had a guide. Our tour included lunch, which was delicious. Fantastic experience.

          "Exceptional Second Tour with Christy Local & George!"
          "We recently completed our second tour with Christy Local and George, and once again, we were thoroughly impressed. The day in Korinth, including the captivating caves and the scenic train ride through the valley, was impeccably organized. Our guide at the ancient city of Korinth, Vera, was truly outstanding. She brought the history to life with her insightful knowledge and engaging presentation. The chosen restaurant for lunch was a delightful experience with delicious food. Throughout the day, George's attentive care and consideration for every detail made our journey truly special. We wholeheartedly recommend Christy Local for anyone seeking an exceptional travel experience. Their commitment to providing top-notch service and creating unforgettable memories is evident in every aspect of their tours."

          Wonderful way to learn about the Acropolis and the history of Greece!
          Excellent way to visit the Acropolis Museum and site. Our guide, Anda, provided us with a depth of knowledge about every item in the museum and guided us to overlooked aspects of the site. Her passion for the history of Greece was infectious and she provided a broad, balanced amount of information. She was accommodating of our needs and able to adjust the tour to our specific interests and physical abilities. It was very enjoyable to spend the day with her and we left feeling that we got much more out of the experience than if we had visited alone of in a larger tour group. Additionally, she pointed out all of the best angles for photography and took some great photos of us that we will treasure. We highly recommend this tour.

          Great tour, Mr George our driver was excellent, punctual, knowledgeable,providing a running commentary on everything we passed as we drove around.The sights were amazing particularly Mycenea which was something we had wanted to see for years, could not fault this tour in any way, and would highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Athens and wanting to see the sights outside the city.

        These sites are absolutely worth seeing to complete your knowledge of Greek civilization. In particular, Chirinth Canal is a marvel, the ancient theater of Epidauro is amazing and walking in Nafplio, by the sea, is fantastic and relaxing.
        We enjoyed this tour a lot also thanks to the professionalism of the driver Alex, who was an excellent and very kind guide and recommended us a very nice and quiet restaurant near Mycene!

        Ioannis (John) and his team are amazing. Personalized and very flexible. My family highly recommends Crispy Local! The trip to Mycenae to see the Mycenaean ruins was well worth the short drive and the stop at Nafplio with lunch at a local seafood restaurant was the trip of a lifetime.

        Thank you John!

        This trip is one of the most favourite trips in Greece. My guide for this tour was Mr. Ioannis, a thorough gentleman. He knows the stories of each site right back of his hands. He has a wide knowledge on the Greek mythology and history along with current affairs. This trip is a long trip duration-wise as there are multiple stops. I was left to explore and see the sites at my own pace due to which I ended spending more time than it usually takes.

        We stopped for lunch at a curated cafe in Nafplio which serves fantastic local food. The tour ended with a nice stroll in the beautiful bylanes of Nafplio. Though this is one of the longest day tours from Athens, never once you will feel bored as Ioannis keeps you engaged in interesting facts and stories about Greece.

        This is a must do tour if you are ever visiting Greece and Crispylocal is the best tour provider you can find as they will customise as per your need.

        Our driver & guide Ioannis made our whole holiday. This was the second tour of the Athens area that we took with him because the first was so memorable. Our 10 year-old son loved Ioannis as well and asks if we can have him as our guide each time because he was so friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Giorgos our tour guide explained much of fascinating Greek ancient and modern history, stopped often for amazing photo opportunities and providednus with a wonderful Greek loukumi treat.

        We booked this private tour last minute and we are very glad that we did with Crispy Local! Totally professional and punctual driver, John really exceeded our expectations. The places were amazing and full of history! Greece is full of fascinating stories and myths. Last but not least, Nafplio town was the highlight of the tour. Quiet, clean and picturesque, its a place that we would come again to stay and explore more! The restaurant that John suggested was great and we tried some of the local wine, that we really enjoyed! We 100% recommend this tour with Crispy Local!

        What a wonderful trip! Our driver was George, a senior travel advisor, and he was great. He was personable, knowledgeable, and flexible based on what we wanted to see. He was so familiar with the sites and shared so much information about them. It was so interesting and we all (5 adult family) really enjoyed the trip. I would definitely recommend him and the company. Great interaction when we booked to make sure they know what we wanted from the excursion. Highly recommend!!

        Ioannis is an incredible person and guide. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. Ioannis made sure that we had what we needed at all times and was so beyond knowledgeable about everything Greece. From the history to all the local places to visit we were set the rest of our trip with his guidance and recommendations. There’s no way to not have an incredible with Ioannis!

        2: We wanted to show a taste of the countryside for our guest friends. This trip was awesome. We saw many great archaeological places and heard a lot of mythology from our driver. He suggested a traditional tavern with authentic Greek dishes that our guests loved! The whole experience was great and we will book again with Crispy Local!

        My daughter and I had a great day trip to Mycenae and a couple of other stops. Harry, our driver, made the day very pleasant for us and we had a great time chatting with him on the drive. Visiting the archeological site at Mycenae was the highlight of the trip for us and lunch in Nafplio was very nice. It’s such a pretty town. Overall it was a great day and I would recommend it as a day trip to anyone who is visiting Athens.
