Our children still talk about him, even almost 6 months after our trip! Reach out to him and his company and have them plan your ENTIRE trip to Greece. He knows what he’s doing. The town of Kalavitra was amazing. We had our best meal of the entire trip at a restaurant Nikos took us too and ordered for us. The train ride was amazing, Corinth and Acrocorinth were incredible, the cave of lakes was breathtaking. And he was so knowledgeable. The next time we come back…”

“I spent a wonderful afternoon with Mr. Sam. It’s not just about the tour and what you get to see, but about the gentleman himself, who impressed me with his knowledge and the way he shares it.
