  The travel itinerary and places to stay were well thought out. The guide and driver were exceptional. Costa's knowledge of history, customs and culture of the region were unmated by any other guides I have encountered on extensive travel. Well done!

  Epos Travel and Tours, a family owned and operated tour company, provided a wonderful tour of the Peloponnese Region of Greece for my husband and me. We visited ancient ruins, Byzantine sites, temples, churches, beaches, mountain villages, caves and historic towns. Our guides were all professional, warm and happy to answer any and all questions we had, and the extensive knowledge of Greek mythology, history and modern events they shared with us, made this a trip of lifetime. They chose restaurants and food that was unique to each region we visited - all delicious, fresh and more than enough to fill us up. We also took a detour to Aegina Island, which was not on the original itinerary, where we stayed in their cottage for a few days exploring the area. This island is filled with its own history, ancient ruins, Byzantine churches, beaches, 2000 year old olive trees, and lovely beaches. We highly recommend this tour and a visit to Aegina Island, to anyone who wants to explore Greece.

  From start to finish we were looked after superbly by Epos Travel. At the start of the tour,they came to greet us from our hotel and at the end of the tour saw us safely back into our next accommodation. The tour was well devised and offered a good balance of the rich historical legacy of Ancient Greece and also introduced us to some wonderful natural sites of great beauty. The Peloponnese region is very diverse and we enjoyed charming seaside bays, towering mountains, shady forests and gorges. The hospitality was second to none, we had gastronomic lunches where our hosts encouraged us to try a wide variety of food and wine. Our guide and driver were very thoughtful, they generously shared their knowledge of Greece , both ancient and modern. They altered the itinerary to match our energy levels but made sure we missed nothing. Epos is a family business and they make you feel part of the family. Some of the visits are on ( for us, as senior citizens) challenging paths. We were helped, when we needed an extra bit of support, on some sections. We always got to our destination! Nothing was too much trouble from supplying cold water just when you needed it or fitting in a quick coffee en route. The tour offers a very full itinerary which helps you see a different aspect of Greece. The days were full and we stayed in a variety of hotels, from small family run places in the mountains to more international ones in the larger towns. Our care and comfort was always checked to see that we were happy with everything. We really can’t find enough superlatives to say how fantastic it was. We would thoroughly recommend Epos to anyone interested in discovering the area. Two very satisfied guests, Christine and Edward Hammonds

  This tour allowed us to see and learn about the many ancient sites in Greece. This beautiful country is rich with history, our tour guide George, had a wealth of information on the history. We went to many areas of Greece that were hidden Gems. Our driver, also named George was fun and we enjoyed the beauty of Greece. All the food and accommodations were wonderful and we loved exploring the caves and river rafting. We would highly recommend Epos tours and travel.

  We recently completed the 10-day tour “Tracing the Steps of Hercules in the Peloponnese”; it was a truly wonderful adventure. We made stops at most of the legendry locations for Hercules’ 12 Labors. But in addition to that we experienced the many famous and little known sites in the Peloponnese of multiple eras: from the time of Homer to the powerful kings of Mycenae to isolated monasteries from the Byzantine age and up into the influences of the Venetians only 200 years ago. It was the diversity in both sites and activities that kept the trip lively and fulfilling. Our days were loaded: in the morning we might visit a ruin and museum, have a leisurely lunch at a beach taking in a swim and then off to another site, ending the day at one of a number pleasant towns. We traveled from the sea to the mountains, from ancient to not quite as old, from small cities to tiny villages and from touristy to remote. Some of the roads, I know, I would never have found (much less driven) and thus missed the unique experience around it’s corner. We had special treats of wine tasting, hidden beaches, old olive press techniques and homage to the little known Temple of Hercules. Thank you George and company for providing us such a well-rounded and fun filled trip.
