    COVID prevented us for traveling over the last two years and we finally made travel plans to visit Greece. We selected "Tracing the Steps of Hercules in the Peloponnese 7 days." I want to share this review because this was by far the best ever tour we have ever taken. Both Argiris (RG) and Denopolis (Dennis) made this tour Great. RG drove and Dennis did all the planning. Both provided tour information and were very knowledgeable about the history of Greece. I truly enjoyed every site we visited, every hotel we stayed in (6 nights) were exceptional, every breakfast (6), every Lunch (7) and every dinner (2) were awesome. Dennis preordered the Lunch and Dinner meals and we enjoyed many different Greek cuisines. There was always more than enough food that we often took food back to the hotel. My wife wants to share that we never had a dull moment. The country is very mountainy and the views are picture postcard beautiful. The views of the Seas and Gulfs are a must see, words are not enough. Thank you for the memories and recommendation to visit Crete. My highest recommendation to tour Greece with this tour operator Epos Ergon p.c. via TOURRADAR.

    We had a great time with George and Argyro. We had a 9 days private tour with Epos and Visited Athens, Aegina, Nafplio, Argolis, Sparta, Ancient Olympia, and Kalavryta. Each and every area we visited is unique, beautiful and lots of historical sites. Epos tour had delivered what they had promised per our tour layout. We particularily love Aegina and Nafplio. We defintiely will use Epos tour again in the future and definitely recommend for anyone visit Greece for a tour.

    I had the most remarkable tour with Epos Travel & Tours company. First of all, I would like to give a credit to the exceptional organization of this company, which this journey made adventurous, fun and knowledgeable at the same time. My travel guide was very qualified and dedicated to making this Peloponnese itinerary as pleasant as possible. I was amazed by the professionalism that this company serves. Each activity was performed in exciting and anxiety free way. I was very pleased with the diversity of this trip which it makes so special for me, such as rafting down the Lusios River, then discovering a cave of unique beauty formed by stalactites and stalagmites, after exploring Mycenae the legendary kingdom of the Atreides; tasting the exquisite Nemean wines in high quality wineries etc. I am writing this so that people can have an adequate insight into this unique itinerary that this company provides. I am convinced that you will enjoy it and feel truly positive vibes that we all search for when we embark on an adventurous journey.

    • Epos Travel & ToursOperatorWritten October 2023

      Unfortunately we do not have any people on this departure, so it would be a private one and we can do that for you. We are available for a departure on the 14 if you want.

      TravelerWritten September 2022

      I haven't planned the hotel because we will have a rental car. We plan to tour northern Greece for 5 nights. We also have a bit planned to date a Nile cruise, a NCL Greek Isle cruise and between your tour and the NCK cruise is where we want to see northern Greece. If I had your address then I can decide is it best to rent a car near the port of Piraeus or from Athens International airport. I can also rent a car from port of Piraeus and return at the airport. Your address would make things easier to decide what to do.

    • Epos Travel & ToursOperatorWritten September 2022

      Our office is in the Peloponnese, not in Athens. You can decide the pick up point, at your convenience as long as it is in Athens. We would suggest a central hotel close to Syntagma, Plaka or Monastiraki. What company you use for your rental? Usually they have offices both at the airport and in the center of Athens.

      TravelerWritten October 2022

      We have three (3) medium suitcases (less than 23kg) and each of us have a hand carry bag (about 7kgs). My wife also has her purse. I'm not sure about river rafting. Can we decide on the day?

    • Epos Travel & ToursOperatorWritten October 2022

      It is going to be just you 3 guys, so the tour is private for you and you can decide whether to do it or not. This means you can decide whether to do something or not or where to spend more time. Normally we would have the rafting on day 6 (2 of November), but the rafting company has availability only for November 1. Hence, we will have to change our overnight stays order.

    Asked on August 8th, 2022

    I am looking at doing a tour with myself and my daughter and her best friend for their graduation (they will both be 17 yrs old). We want something historical that is fully organized and guided as this will be a first international trip for one of the girls. Can you help me understand the pricing of this tour? is there a discount for a group of 3? what logistic planning is expected of us?

    • Epos Travel & ToursOperatorWritten August 2022

      No worries, all of our tours are guided and give big emphasis on the huge cultural stock of Greece. We visit the UNESCO monuments of Mycenae, Ancient Epidaurus, Ancient Olympia, Mystras, as well as Delphi, Meteora in other tours. The max number for our tours is 7 participants, because we like to keep it small and flexible. The price you see is based on double occupancy. Three is the min number of participants we need to confirm a departure but we will happily waive the single room extra cost for you!

      TravelerWritten August 2022

      Hello. Thanks for responding. My daughter is actually more interested in this tour than anything related to the sea. I am wondering how the logistics of this tour work. Do we get picked up from the airport? Or how do we meet up?

    • Epos Travel & ToursOperatorWritten August 2022

      We can arrange the transfer from the airport to your hotel with an extra small cost. We can also help with your hotel in Athens before and after the tour.
