Greeking.me | Original Journeys to Greece & Italy Reviews 120

Our trip to Greece, thanks to the Greeking.me staff's planning, met and many times exceeded our expectations. The tours provided an excellent overview of Greece. Many memorable experiences were due to the quality of the tour guides. They exhibited in depth knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, Greek history. The quality of the guides surpassed many other tours we have taken while visiting other countries. Taking excursions to various parts of Greece provided an opportunity to see some of the most breathtaking scenery. I especially enjoyed the day trip to Delphi and travelling throughout Crete. In fact, Crete was a delightful surprise for me, the mountains, valleys, shorelines and plateaus were majestic.

I was very impressed with the friendliness of all of the people with whom we interacted. The drivers and hotel staff were so welcoming, helpful and friendly.

I appreciated that the Greeking.me staff periodically reached out to us to assure that the trip was going well and that they were available if needed. It was reassuring to know that we were only a phone call away for assistance.

I took my daughter to Athens and had everything arranged by Greeking.me. Our experience was much better than I could have imagined. We had one minor issue that Greeking.me took care of immediately. We had 4 days of private tours including Athens, Delphi, Mycenae and Crete. Our tour guides for three days were archeologists and the fourth was a historian. All were extremely knowledgeable and very professional. We had the same driver who met us at the airport when we arrived, took us to all of our destinations and back to the airport. This was the best trip ever and it was all due to the expertise of the team at Greeking.me. I cannot say enough good things about Greeking.me. I would give them 10 stars if I could!

My wife and I decided last minute to go on a honeymoon directly after the wedding as opposed to sometime next year. With the short timeframe to figure out what to do, we took to the web to find somewhere/something to do. After deciding on Greece and wanting to specifically stay at a few places in particular, we reached out to several travel agencies for assistance. After striking out with several agencies, we found Greeking.me and they were able to provide and source everything we were looking for and more! Nikos and Anna quickly created an incredible itinerary that had a variety of activities and experiences. They really made it feel like they wanted us to experience the best parts of Greece while we were there (which we feel like we did and then some).

Everything throughout the trip was completely painless! Since they are local to Athens, they were always available for any questions or concerns we had during our trip. One day it was scheduled to rain so they proactively rebooked our excursion for the day to something else.

All in all it was a great experience and we will definitely be using their services again next time we come back!

I was impressed by our initial contact with Nikos and later with Panos of Greeking.me. The detailed initial itinerary which they prepared, and their patience in answering our questions and iterating through changes we requested, made me feel very confident that we had selected the right travel company.

The friendly promptness with which we were received at Athens airport, all subsequent drop offs and pickups at our hotel and the airport, was impressive. We loved the hotel selected for us ( Electra Metropolis) which was close to the Acropolis. This was an ideal location for restaurants, shopping, and just strolling around to take in the culture of this wonderful city.

Greeking.me organized private walking tours within Athens and the one-day tour of Nafplio. We enjoyed the narration of our well informed tour guides and the beautiful sites at Nafplio.

Greeking.me also arranged a sunset cataraman sailing at Santorini. For those of you reading this review - DO NOT miss this! Wonderful lifetime experience with beautiful scenery as you sail along the coastline of this beautiful island. The half-day private drive tour of various towns and landmarks in Santorini was very enjoyable. It was not rushed and we had plenty of time to appreciate the narration of our driver/guide.

We had a fabulous time on Crete. Katerina was a splendid person to work with to setup the trip. She was most helpful even when I was making bone-headed mistakes! The Knossos tour and guide were just perfect for our party and we thought the guide was the highlight of the trip. This is saying something from one of us who was a director of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC ( and a trained Biblical Archeologist) and another who taught Art and Ancient History for 30 years. I have a great picture of the pair in discussion with our guide at the Heraklion Archeological Museum in front of the famous dolphin display.

The Wine tasting tour was also excellent. We ended up buying two cases of wine and had them shipped back home. On our free days, we booked additional tours which allowed us to explore the many wonders of Crete. I did an Off-road Safari tour that was little short of amazing -- taking the back roads of Crete to end up at the cave of Zeus. I have many many pictures! You should explore this as part of your trip plan to see Crete. We also did an architectural tour of Reythmno that was outstanding. We loved the old Venetian town and would love to come back and stay in one of the boutique hotels there. The Legacy Gastro Suites hotel was perfect. We enjoyed how close it was to shopping and downtown. The food at its cafe was excellent. In fact we never had a bad meal on Crete. As for shopping, near the Heraklion Archeological Museum we found the Irida Family Workshop(www dot irdashop dot com) with superb art objects celebrating the history of Crete. The people of Crete were very friendly the food and wine were outstanding. We had a great time and Katerina to thank for it. One of the interesting events was that we ran into the woman taxi driver who met us at the Heraklion airport to take us to the Hotel on our arrival as we were getting out of the taxi at the Airport to depart for Athens. She remembered us and came up and asked us how was our stay. Amazingly nice people on Crete and a superb way to spend a week!

So, in summary we had a great time on Crete and Katerina to thank for it.

Wonderful trip with Greeking.me. They organized our transit to & from airport, hotel and 3 days of site seeing in Athens. 100% recommend. We had 2 private food tours and 1 day trip of the historical sites.

We had an amazing experience on our two week honeymoon in Greece. The tours were informative and fun, the hotels excellent and everyone we spoke to was very helpful and accommodating! Thank you so much!

I booked this trip to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday, and to combine with our aborted 10th anniversary trip (postponed due to COVID). IT WAS AMAZING!! The entire team at Greeking.me from start to finish were phenomenal. We had such a great time doing the Acropolis tour, Sunset sail in Santorini, Taste of Greek food tour, (and so much more), all of it was amazing. The hotels that they chose were great as were the staff there. I would 10 times out of 10, recommend (and I have recommended) Greeking.me if you are going to visit the Greek Isles.

we spent three weeks in Greece including Athens and some islands. The experience was excellent being balanced, informative and interesting. The guides at the ancient sites were excellent and the accommodation well situated and very comfortable. The best was Katerina ability to chose destinations, archaeological sites and accommodation that matched our needs. The organisation was flawless and we could not recommend this organisation more highly enough.

Working with Ann was absolutely fantastic! The entire experience was top-notch and made our vacation one of the best of our lives. She worked with me to plan the perfect trip and everything was executed to perfection. The excursions and travel between locations was absolutely flawless.

GreekingMe was the best decision we made when planning our trip to Greece. Honestly we didn’t have to worry about anything and if we had questions Katerina was always available which was amazing especially when traveling abroad. All of the tours, locations, hotels and rides were great and met our expectations and went beyond them. I have recommended Greeking.me to everyone!

Greeking.me was the best decision I could have made when booking my trip to Greece. From the communication with the team at the office to the excellent tours and talented guides, everything was better than I hoped it would be! I highly recommend the company to anyone visiting the country and will definitely come back for more. Thank you guys 🤩

I would sincerely like to say thank Greeking.me for a wonderful Athens food tour exoerience. I must commend the team who has created this tour and Irene for being such a wonderful, knowledgeable, warm, funny and interesting guide. The tour was a 10/10 for me! Well done.

The tour is very well organised and coordinated. There is a good mix of information about the history, flavours and traditions of food and drink as well as information of the city of Athens put together, it is very well balanced.

There is certainly a lot of food and lots of stops. It is a very good representation of Athens and Greek food.

I absolutely loved working with this company! We had a cancelled cooking class reservation in 2020 that they honored the following summer with no issues at all. Last summer, they arranged a private walking tour in Athens that was perfect. They also arranged multiple transfers for us. The vans were spotlessly clean, stocked with water and hand sanitizer, and the driver was always friendly. They communicate clearly, have great ideas and insights, and their execution is flawless. They were an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We will use their services every time we visit Greece!

I used Greeking.me to organize several experiences for my family last summer, from the Percy Jackson Acropolis tour, to a scavenger hunt in Athens, to a full day guided tour in Santorini and many transfers. Everything was on time, adapted to kids, and well priced and coordinated. Honestly, look no further for a family-focused Greek tourism company.

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience! The communication was good, all our rides were well arranged, and we learned so much from the tour guide/archeologist. All three hotels were fantastic with impeccable service, incredible views, and luxurious amenities. Highly recommend!

Just returned from a 2-week vacation to Greece. What a wonderful trip! We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations and arrangements—it was fabulous. Greeking.me handled everything beautifully, including making some last-minute changes and answering questions while we were in Greece. The hotels they chose couldn’t have been better, all the transportation worked perfectly, and the tours were amazing, including (among others) a cultural tour of Naxos, a foodie tour in Athens, and a sunset sailboat cruise from Santorini. We can't recommend Greeking.me highly enough--6 stars!

Our trip with Greeking Me completely exceeded our expectations. In booking the trip, Nikos was able to to design our trip exactly to our specifications and it truly was just what we had hoped it would be. We had licensed tour guides for our visits to the Acropolis, ancient Corinth, Nafplio and Mycenae. All three were experts in their field and left no questions unanswered. They were friendly, helpful and we enjoyed our time with each of them. We met our tour leader, Vasiliki on our 2nd night and she, and our driver, Alex, would remain with us until we were dropped off at the airport. We could not have asked for a better team. We became fast friends and shared many great times together. As we hit inclement weather at the end of our trip, Vasiliki revised our itinerary and added activities that she knew we would enjoy. Vasiliki was a highly knowledgeable leader. Alex was great behind the wheel and the car was spotless each morning. We fell in love with the mountains of the Peloponnese and visited many of the tiny villages high in the mountains. Our driver, Alex, was from one of these villages, Vytina, and he was kind enough to show us his childhood home, took us for a walk through many beautiful streets and we had lunch at one of his favorite taverns. All the food tours and wine tastings were excellent and the hosts were welcoming. We will always remember the fun times we had with Vasiliki and Alex and hope to see them both on our next trip!
