Reviews of Small Group tours to Greece
- 2 Greek Islands Tour - 5 Days - Paros & Santorini - Premium
We had a good time and we found everyone involved helpful and efficient. We enjoyed Paros in particular but had a good time on Santorini too.
- The Peloponnese wine roads (3 days - small group, escorted, cultural, culinary
What an amazing experience travelling the Peloponnese with George and Argiris. The quality of the tour, the variety of wineries and historical sites we visited, and the knowledge they had of the area was simply outstanding. And the food – let’s not forget about the food. Plentiful and delicious! I would highly recommend this tour through Epos travel - it was one of our best experiences while travelling in Greece.
- Greece Discovery Tour
Just got back from a tour organized by Effie, guided by Eleni with Taki as our main driver and everything was stupendous. Way more than we were expecting for the money we had no regrets and would definitely do it again. The good: Eleni was an awesome guide who kept everything moving without feeling rushed and got us through all the big highlights in and around Athens. She had a background in classical archaeology and even did some field work in school so her knowledge of ruins and excavations was amazing. Our transportation was a very comfortable and cool Mercedes touring van driven by Taki who was an incredible driver capable of maneuvering that thing flawlessly through narrow winding streets. The first half of the tour was very busy with several stops per day and the last part of the trip becomes more relaxed with time on the islands and consecutive nights in hotels. Logistics were slick everything was always on time on point and Effie was constantly available to trouble shoot any problems. We decided to alter the tour to include a few more days on one of the islands rather than in Athens as listed on the standard itinerary and Effie was able to quote us and work that into our itinerary while we were on the road very great service. The bad: A couple of the included meals at the hotels were very lackluster buffet meals, but one of them (at Olympia) was also one of the best meals and times we had on the tour and it was never inedible food just uninspired. On Santorini, we had to purchase a day tour separately to see all the sites and then do the sunset on the cliffs. It wasn't particularly expensive but we got lucky and were able to split it with our tour companions. It would have been nice if that were included since Santorini isn't super easy to get around without a car and Taxis are very expensive there. The ugly: Nothing really. If you want to see all the high points of Greece at a reasonably price in pretty swanky accommodations and with the peace of mind of a solid organization handling the details look no further.
What our customers ask about Greece Small Group Tours
What is the typical size for small group tours in Greece and why is it beneficial?
Greek small group tours keep numbers between 2-15 travelers which lets everyone get proper attention from the guides. At destinations like the Kalambaka hotel in Meteora smaller groups can eat at local restaurants where large tours can't fit. Recent travelers point to the benefits: "the semi-private tour was perfect we never felt rushed and our guide George in Santorini was very knowledgeable and well-spoken." The smaller size means quick changes to plans when needed and better chances to experience local life like tastings at family vineyards or meals at neighborhood tavernas.
How does the accommodation differ on small group tours in Greece?
These tours focus on smaller hotels and family properties instead of big chain hotels. In Santorini groups often stay at the El Greco Resort in Fira or the Strogili Hotel which looks out over the caldera. Past guests have noted "The hotel selections were excellent especially in Santorini where the location provided perfect sunset views." The smaller size lets groups book interesting places like guesthouses inside Monemvasia's castle walls or local hotels in old town Nafplio.
What kind of transportation is used for small group tours in Greece?
The tours use Mercedes Sprinter vans or mini-buses that can handle narrow streets and reach places big buses can't. For getting between islands groups take regular ferries with the option to upgrade to faster boats. A recent guest said "Transportation was excellent with modern comfortable vehicles and our driver was able to navigate the narrow streets of Santorini with ease." This means groups can visit hard-to-reach spots like Meteora's monasteries or quiet beaches on Milos.
What is the ideal duration for a small group tour in Greece?
Most tours run 5-11 days with 7-9 days being the sweet spot. A typical 9-day trip might spend 3 nights in Athens 3 in Santorini and 2 in Mykonos. Travelers say "The 7-day itinerary was perfect giving us enough time to explore each destination while still having free time for ourselves." This length strikes a good balance between planned activities and free time to explore.
How does dining work on small group tours in Greece?
Tours usually cover hotel breakfasts and some group dinners at local tavernas while leaving room for meals on your own. The Classical Tour for example includes daily breakfast and 3 group dinners of Greek dishes. As one guest put it: "Gastronomy is one of the main aspects of the tour experience - all meals are at selected traditional taverns with high-quality dishes."
What unique experiences are possible with small group tours in Greece that aren't available with larger groups?
Small groups can do things big tours can't like staying at family hotels eating at tiny local spots and visiting places away from tourist crowds. You might stay at places like the Grand Meteora Hotel in Kalambaka or find dinner at small restaurants in villages like Kardamyli. One traveler noted: "The small group also allowed us to go to more intimate/interesting hotels and restaurants."
