Summary: Stathis was the best tour guide that we had during our 9 day cruise of the Italian and Greek Islands. Our tour of Olympia with him was on Sept 12, 2025. He went out of his way to make sure that we comfortable with what he had planned for us during the 7 hour tour. He meet us on time right on the dock where he had his car waiting for us. Once at Olympia, one member of our group had forgotten his sunglasses, and Stathis gave him his own to wear during our tour there! He also purchased a nice gift for each of us to remember our time with him in Olympia. He took special care to take to us places that are not on the typical tourist sites including a family run honey farm and a boutique winery where we were treated to the most wonderful layout of traditional greek foods along with our wine tastings. We also sent to a beach that was private, but he was able to get us in. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again for another tour and would recommend him 150%.
