Excellent tour!
christopherlB50AJ, September 2026
Excellent value. Demi was a wonderful guide, very informative without going overboard. The only minus factor was the "handover" for those of us who were returning to Athens a day earlier than other participants. We were told that a bus to pick us up from Delphi would arrive "in a little while", but had to wait about 2 hours 20 minutes while we waited for the other bus and then had to watch those passengers eating a leisurely lunch and shopping for souvenirs.

Average Tour - Some Upfront Info Would Have Been Nice
Katie_a, August 2026
First, we booked an English tour, but then we found out we were on a bilingual tour; this made certain activities longer because of duplicate explanations. Additionally, there are multiple different day tour lengths with people being picked up or added on different days. Lunches and Hotel Fees were not included but not that expensive, so might as well just include them in the price.
Day 1 - At the hotel, we were herded like cattle into different buses with no idea what our tour guide's name was. Expect minimal bathroom breaks on this day. First travel was about 2 hours, then a 2.5-hour drive. Lunch was not included in the price, but we were forced to eat at their specific restaurant.
Day 2 - vague outline of the day, over 2 hours on the road with no bathroom break. We were at the museum, and it was busy. There were no microphones with headsets like other tours, so we could not hear the guide half the time. Then we waited outside the museum for 15-20 mins while the guide bought books from the gift shop. Nice stop with some amazing pastries along the way.
Day 3 - 2 hours later start so additional people could join the tour, which made the site and museum so crowded. Our guide left the museum to go to the site and was moving so fast he lost the group. About 30 people joined the group that already had 20 people on it—so crowded on the bus. Glad we were not there for Day 4. Had to wait over an hour after lunch to be combined with another bus on the way home. At this point, we found out our guide's name, Antonio, from the new guide taking us home (George). This new guide was great, and I think the experience could have transformed if we had him instead!
Response from the operator · Chatours1 Dear Katie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that some aspects of the tour did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify several points regarding the organization of the tour.
Our hotel pick-up service begins approximately 45 minutes before the scheduled tour departure. The person accompanying the pick-ups is an escort responsible for collecting passengers from different hotels and coordinating their transfer to the departure point. There is no tour guide on the pick-up bus. Upon arrival at the departure point, passengers are organized according to their respective tours and coaches, which explains why guests may be coming together from different itineraries.
Regarding meals and hotel/city taxes, these are clearly stated as not included both in the tour description and under the exclusions. Lunch stops are arranged at local restaurants along the route between destinations, allowing passengers the opportunity to have a meal during the journey. There is no requirement to purchase lunch, although the group stops at a designated restaurant for convenience and time management.
We would also like to clarify the comment regarding bathroom stops. Restroom facilities are available immediately after the hotel pick-up at Amalia Athens Hotel, before departure. A further stop is made approximately 1.5 hours later at the Corinth Canal, our first sightseeing stop, followed by restroom opportunities at the various archaeological sites and museums visited during the tour.
This is a three-day escorted coach tour covering a considerable number of destinations, archaeological sites and museums. Consequently, driving time between cities is an essential part of the itinerary and is clearly reflected in the tour program. The itinerary is designed to allow visitors to experience several important highlights of Greece within a limited number of days.
With regard to the bilingual service and different tour durations, these arrangements are part of the advertised organization of the multi-day program, allowing passengers joining or leaving at different points to travel together where applicable.
We are pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with George, and we will certainly share your kind comments with him.
We appreciate your feedback and hope that these clarifications provide a better understanding of how the tour is organized.
Thank you
Hara Kritikidou
Customer Service Manager

Ancient Greek mythology at its finest form
Satyabrata_N, July 2026
This trip was very well organized. It was a small group of 8 people, the transportation, accommodation and food provided well exceeded my expectations. Joy, our guide for the trip, was probably one of the best and knowledgeable guide I conversed with in my lifetime. I wish I had recorded all that she covered during this trip. This trip is well worth for her explanation of the nitty gritty of these places which were one of the earliest civilizations on the surface of the earth, yet giving birth to modern medicine, math, philosophies, sports etc.

What a great way to visit these important sites! This bus tour was a relaxing, very interesting and enjoyable surprise
jennifersZ4666AV, April 2026
We had three extra days in Greece during Easter holiday week following a cruise and decided to sign up for this trip as it was going to several important sites that we wanted to see. What a good decision. Our guide, Stavros, was really good. We happened to be on the French/English tour and he easily went back and forth between the two languages. It was clear to me that both groups got the same complete information. His knowledge of the sites and Greek history really made me want to learn more. We had a good group of fellow travelers. Our driver was very calm and skilled.
We could only do the 3 day tour- wish we could have done the 4 day that included Meteori.

A fantastic excursion!
Journey300573, April 2026
We absolutely loved this three-day excursion - which was the highlight of our holiday in Greece. We were travelling as a family of four (with two kids aged 7 and 9). We saw so much of the country and learnt lots about Greek history and culture. Our guide (Joy) was truly exceptional (and great with the kids!) and the hotel accommodation and food was good quality. Very well organised, and great value overall, we would highly recommend CHAT tours.
