We visit Kalavryta and surrounding areas as travelers, not as tourists. We get as excited as you to travel, to enjoy the history & scenery.
Schedule is flexible, but most importantly our drivers are seasoned travelers and are dedicated to helping you live the tour of your life, a combination of Nature and History.
This private tour takes you via Corinth Canal (short stop) to Peloponnese. Continue to Diakopto, from where you will take the cog railway, a unique train ride via Vouraikos Gorge to Kalavryta. From train station we drive to Agia Lavra monastery. Return to Kalavryta, explore village (visit Holocaust Museum), return in Athens by car this time. On the way we will stop at Mega Spileo Monastery (the oldest in Greece). Continue to Corinth for our last stop. Visit site/ museum

I know the company running this event did not appreciate all my messages. My friend and I really wanted to ride this train and as it turns out I was finally able to get our tickets just before we left to fly to Athens. My friend and I enjoyed the ride although it was very noisy due to school children which was not the fault of the company. One thing I will say though, the seats are meant for children, they are really small for adults. If you can tolerate that it is a good ride. Would we do it again, NO. We have done it now so now we know. The tour afterward was okay, but not memorable.

I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was Nikolaos and he was great! He took us to the mountains, museums and great places to eat. Unfortunately the Cog train was closed but Nikolaos made sure that we didn't miss a thing. Don't miss this one!!

It was a nice experience, but the train is not spacious at all. When buying the tickets, choose one seat facing the other.
Our driver, Christo, was wonderful and was attentive to all our needs, including a delicious expresso coffee!
It was really great! Thank you

We did a private tour and we were guaranteed admission to the monasteries (which we were not) as well as a English speaking driver/ tour guide. Our driver (as a driver) was great, but as a tour guide, not as much. We were dumped off in numerous places with no indication of where we were at with no guidance of the archeological sites or monasteries. No history or tour was given. It was a big let down to say the least, the sites were beautiful, but we couldn’t fully enjoy it as we had no clue what we were even looking at or where we were. Recommend maybe this tour in a larger group, but not privately.

Phillip was an amazing tour guide who picked our family of five up from a centrally located hotel in the Syntagma area of Athens. He had a lot of knowledge about the history of Athens and Corinth as well as all of the areas we visited and was very eager to answer all of our questions. Ancient Corinth and the Corinth canal were very interesting to see. The train ride was beautiful, however the cars are very small and the train was packed. The town of Kalavryta was a beautiful little town in Greece that turns into a ski town in the Winter months. We ate lunch at a small café that Phillip recommended that had good food that was reasonably priced. We then went and visited our first monastery that was built into a mountain. This was a very unique experience. We were picked up in a Mercedes van that was extremely comfortable for the duration of this tour and Phillip had plenty of water to ensure everyone stayed hydrated. This was a great value for the length of this tour considering all we were able to see and experience. If you have an extra day in Athens and want to get outside of the big city, book this tour and ask for Phillip who was very easy to understand and who provided amazing knowledge!

This was a great tour and Christos was excellent and shared his knowledge and special places with me. It was a wonderful day tinged with sadness seeing the Kalavryta nuseum and the execution site.
