- Since all the tours we offer are private we have the flexibility to discuss with you any changes you wish to make in the itinerary.
- During summer time because of the hot climate conditions in Greece we always suggest you to wear light clothes, bring with you a hat and sunscreen and make sure to wear non-slipper comfortable shoes due to the slippery terrain in the archaeological sites.
- Also we always provide child seats or boosters whenever is needed with no extra cost. In case there are children between the passengers and you need a child seat we can provide it with no extra cost.

Theodore was incredible in helping us book our full day tour being very response, kind and patient since we were first time travelers from the US and had a lot of questions for him. The full day tour was absolutely incredible. A fantastic driver with so much incredible knowledgeable of Greece’s history and politics that he shared with us throughout the tour. I highly recommend Exceptional Tours Greece for any and all tours, you will have a fabulous time.
