Hello, would like some input from anyone who has used private tour guide drivers from Athens. There's one company I'm interested in called "Private Greece Tours" which does 1 day or multiple overnight day tours to various places in Greece. This interests me since I'm traveling solo and don't want to get tied down to a large tour group where you are shuttled on large buses like a herd of cattle.
I've relied on trains and buses in other countries in Europe but obviously Greece is less conducive to that. I could rent a car but it's not very relaxing for a solo traveler to do all the driving nor appreciate the scenery when driving especially on winding roads. I'd rather not deal with it, is the bottom line.
I'm in the early stages of planning a trip in March to do the mainland (no islands) and I flipped when I saw Private Greece Tours. They have a 2-3 day tour to Delphi and Meteora which interests me. Basically a private driver.
I'm a little averse to getting into a vehicle with a man that I don't know...so there's that.
The other thing is the price. It's okay I suppose but I feel I could get a better deal on a group tour. This is not a group tour, but a private driver, which explains the cost.
Does anyone know of a better deal--a small group tour that offers overnight trips to Meteora and Delphi? I don't want a one day tour to Meteora. Taking the train in this instance doesn't appeal to me as I still have the issue of getting to Delphi, which is basically on the way.
