Mini FAQ

How much walking is involved, and is it physically demanding?

This tour involves moderate walking over uneven, ancient terrain (particularly at Mycenae and Epidaurus). While we set a relaxed pace tailored to your group, guests should be comfortable navigating some inclines and cobblestone paths. Unfortunately, the ancient ruins are not fully wheelchair accessible.

Is this tour suitable for young children?

Yes, we love welcoming families. Private tours are ideal for children because we can easily adapt the schedule for breaks, snacks, and shorter attention spans. If you are traveling with infants or toddlers, please inform us during booking, and we will provide appropriate child safety seats in the vehicle free of charge.

Is this tour suitable for people with disabilities or mobility limitations?

Because our experiences are completely private, we can adapt the pace and itinerary to accommodate varying mobility levels as much as possible. However, please note that certain historical destinations and ancient monuments involve uneven terrain, steep inclines, or stone steps that may not be fully accessible for wheelchair users or guests with mobility challenges. We strongly encourage you to contact our team prior to booking so we can discuss the specific accessibility of your chosen sites and tailor the best possible route for your group.

What happens if it rains or the weather is bad?

Our tours run rain or shine! Our premium vehicles are fully climate-controlled to keep you comfortable between stops. In the event of unexpected rain or high summer heat, your guide or driver will proactively adjust the day's schedule on the go, such as prioritizing indoor museums or shaded areas, to ensure you still have a seamless and enjoyable experience. Only in the rare event of very extreme weather conditions or other urgent cases will our team contact you directly on your phone prior to the tour to coordinate any necessary changes or cancellations for your safety.

How can I book for a group larger than 19 people?

The prices in the online booking are for up to 19 people (Van). For large groups of 20-49 people, please contact us via email or Whatsapp and we will send you a quote. We respond quickly.
