What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Greece
- Paradisial Peloponnese | Semi-Private 8-Day Guided Tour
We did the Paradisial Peloponnese tour. It is an amazing tour full of variety. The accommodation is of a very high standard. The food is all inclusive and is delicious and plentiful. We tried so many different things. We even got to catch our lunch and enjoy grilled trout straight from the water to our plate. Our guide was so knowledgeable and painted pictures in our minds so vividly, we could almost believe we were in ancient Greece. Do not miss this tour. It is the most interesting, enjoyable and fun tour we have done.
- Grand Classical Tour Of Greece plus Mani and Monemvasia (Small group - In depth culture, Historical, Nature, Culinary guided tour)
My husband and I did the 10-day Grand Classical Tour of Greece as a private tour and loved it. With George as our guide, and Christos as our driver, it was one of our most memorable trips. George is incredibly knowledgeable and Christos a great driver. We learned so much about Greek history, mythology and culture. Greece is an amazing country - so the tour was really engrossing. We tried all sorts of Greek food- food is a big part of the experience. George knew all the best places to eat! Because my husband and I are physically active, George made sure that each day included a nice amount of walking - around archaeological sites, up to ancient castles, etc. (I think this level of activity may have been somewhat customized to us). Epos was very easy to book with- they were responsive, accommodating, and very knowledgeable- we really appreciated the personalized attention from Dionysis during the booking process. By the end of the tour, saying goodbye to George and Christos felt like saying farewell to family. Thank you George, Christos and Dionysis for a wonderful tour!
- Mystical Mainland | Semi-Private 7-Day Guided Tour
The mainland mystery tour offers a unique experience of the mainland ranging from visits to the Acropolis to small monasteries in the mountains.. Given that you’re accompanied by two local guides with extensive experience in all regions of Greece, you quickly understand and experience the culture and history of Greece. One of the guides had a Masters in European history , and was able to make ancient history come alive and become relevant to our current times. The accommodations and meals were excellent. Each hotel offered a different experience from a city hotel near the Acropolis to small mountainous resorts high in the hills. Each request whether it was for type of food, wine or cultural experience was enthusiastically received and fulfilled. After having this tour I feel I have a cultural and historical understanding of Greece that could be obtained no other way. The personalized attention of the tour guides was unsurpassed. I recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to become immersed in Greek culture, ancient and modern and experience the beauty of the mountainous region and small towns that few visitors will ever see, all surrounded by the comfort and welcoming experience created by the guides.
What our customers ask about Greece Guided Tours & Trips
What unique benefits does a fully guided tour offer for exploring Greece's historical sites?
Professional licensed guides on fully guided tours provide detailed context that transforms visits to Greece's ancient sites. At the Acropolis in Athens guides explain architectural elements of the Parthenon and Temple of Athena Nike that most visitors overlook. Sites like Ancient Delphi and Olympia come to life through stories of Greek mythology and athletic traditions. A TourRadar traveler's review of G Adventures tours noted: "Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic making every historical site come alive with fascinating details and stories that we would have missed exploring alone."
What's included in terms of meals on fully guided Greece tours?
Tour packages generally cover daily hotel breakfasts at properties like the Athens Avenue Hotel and select group dinners. Many tours add special food experiences such as Greek cooking classes or family-style taverna meals. Lunches stay flexible allowing travelers to explore local dining spots independently. According to one TourRadar review: "The included breakfasts at the Grand Meteora Hotel were excellent with both hot and cold options while group dinners gave us the chance to try authentic Greek specialties like moussaka and souvlaki recommended by our guide."
How does the accommodation vary on fully guided tours in Greece?
Tours typically book 3-4 star hotels chosen for convenient locations and reliable comfort. Athens accommodations like the Fresh Hotel or Athenaeum Grand Hotel put travelers in the city center while properties near Meteora offer monastery views. A TourRadar guest noted: "The hotels were excellent especially the Amalia Hotel in Delphi with its mountain views and the Hotel Europa in Olympia." Standard amenities include daily breakfast rooftop dining pools and updated rooms.
How does the seasonal timing affect guided tours in Greece?
The season shapes every aspect of guided tours in Greece. Summer months (June-September) bring ideal swimming weather at beaches like Voidokilia but also peak crowds. Spring and fall offer pleasant temperatures for exploring ruins like Mycenae without summer heat. One traveler shared on TourRadar: "We visited in May and had perfect weather for climbing around ancient ruins plus the wildflowers at Delphi were stunning." Winter tours mean fewer tourists and lower rates though mountain areas like Meteora may face weather disruptions.
What types of transportation are used on fully guided tours?
Modern coaches with air conditioning handle overland routes between major sites like Athens Delphi and Meteora. Island visits incorporate ferry transport to places like Santorini and Mykonos. A TourRadar review stated: "The coach was very comfortable with large windows perfect for enjoying the scenic mountain routes to Meteora." Tour operators manage all transfers including airport pickups and local site transportation.
What is the typical group size on fully guided tours in Greece?
Most guided tours accommodate 12-25 travelers though select companies like Epos Travel cap groups at 6 people. Smaller groups allow better access to guides while exploring places like Crete's Palace of Knossos or Epidaurus's ancient theater. As one TourRadar participant shared: "Our group of 15 was perfect - large enough to be social but small enough that our guide could give everyone individual attention at archaeological sites and ensure we could hear all the historical details."
