The tour driver is not a licensed archaeological guide to accompany you on your walk to archaeological sites or museums. If you require an archaeologist guide to tour the sites with you, you need to hire one additionally (in prior time). If you have any questions you can contact us on the phone number.
Accommodation: Please book this tour, at least 2 weeks prior, as we need time to reserve rooms for you and your driver.

Driver’s room complimentary). If you wish to do your own hotel reservation, you need to reserve an extra room for your driver.
For Day or Overnight tours, we use taverns/restaurants (are family run – traditional Greek – offering best quality) and suggest hotels / mansions B&B (A’ class), which maintain the traditional style combining peace with luxury and cleanliness, with stunning views, in well chosen locations in the big cities or towns or in the beautiful mountains of the mainland.
For taverns and restaurants apart from the taste, tradition and value also played a part in our selection. And only the best coffee houses or cafes have been chosen, the places where we ourselves stop for a coffee or just a small break.
Important Note: A day tour or a long day tour can be effected from weather conditions or day light save hours. (End October – End March).
Gratuities in Greece: As the competition between companies and drivers is high, our offers cover our main costs (Fuels, road tolls, accommodation, taxes…etc).

There is no standard amount, but depending on the trip’s total cost, this can range between 10% to 20% for daily tours or 5% to 10% for long tours.
