  My wife and I spent an amazing time with George and our guide Sophia touring through thousands of years of Greek history. We explored the ancient sites, modern cities, and small towns, giving us a perfect mix of both old and new. George customized the trip to our interests, finding unique, not-often-visited gems for us to see. And, having only the four of us allowed us to stop when we wanted (like stopping along the side of the road to take pictures by enormous sunflowers or in a small taverna to be invited into the kitchen to select from today's specials). The tour was well organized, with plenty of time to see the sites, visit the museums, shop, eat, and just stroll through the villages and cities. He shared his love of Greece -- and food -- with us as we explored the restaurants and selected tasty local specials.

  We recently returned from a 7-day journey through Athens and the Peloponnese with PicTours of Greece on their Paradisial Peloponnese itinerary—and it truly lived up to its name. This tour is beautifully curated. Our driver and tour operator, George, was incredibly attentive, professional and funny. He went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, arranging all of our hotels and meals with care and attention to quality and local flavour. He also made a few “adjustments” to our schedule for a couple of “shopping requests” Our guide, Babis, was absolutely fabulous. His deep knowledge of Greek history, mythology, and culture made each site come alive. He’s not just informative, he is a gifted storyteller who kept us engaged and entertained every step of the way. In addition to the historical sites, the tour included a wine tour and tasting, an underground cave tour, and even fishing for our lunch one day. These unique experiences gave us a real taste of Greek life and hospitality. We felt safe and well taken care of. If you're looking for a small group, deeply personal, immersive way to explore Athens and the Pelopnnese beyond the usual tourist track, I highly recommend PicTours of Greece. This trip was unforgettable. We shared this adventure with good friends. There was also another lovely couple in our small group for a total of 6 guests. The group dynamic was warm and friendly, which only added to the joy of the trip. We wholeheartedly recommend PicTours of Greece. If you're looking for a personalized, expertly guided tour that immerses you in greek history, culture and food….. look no further! Yamas.

  This was our 2nd tour with George, and it was *just right*. We had high expectations after our Amazing Aegean trip in April 2023, and everything met or exceeded our hopes. It's like traveling with friends who want to share all the best parts of their home with guests. The best part of the Pictours of Greece tours is that once we get off the flight in Athens, we don't think about anything again. Not where to go, what to see, what the hours are, how to navigate transit, not even what to order at a restaurant. The hardest decision is what to choose at the included hotel buffet breakfast. A true break from work and home routines. Vivi was an excellent guide, and as always, with Pictours, having the same guide for the whole trip from the Acropolis in Athens to all the other ancient sites, helps tie the history together. Every hotel was charming, every meal was delicious. Our dietary preferences were considered at each restaurant, and there were seldom repeats -- we enjoyed the specialties of each region, and George worked with the restaurants to find excellent alternatives for a vegetarian when the specialties were seafood or lamb. The only thing not perfect was a bit of rain & wind, but George & Vivi worked to ensure we had great visits and shuffled the schedule as needed to work with the unpredictable spring weather. It's still worth visiting Greece in April and early May -- mostly warm, with very few visitors, and only a little rain. Now, I'm just trying to find a George to take us our Ireland, Norway, and a few other bucket list destinations, and we'll definitely be back - we still have the Mystical Mainland itinerary to try.
