Recommended Company or Drivers for Tour Peloponesse

Our group of 10 would like to tour some of the Peloponesse in June. We are older and somewhat concerned about the driving. Can anyone recommend a company or drivers who could pick us up either at ATH or in Nafplio and drive us around for two or three days before taking us to either Athens or Kalamata (not yet determined.) I assume with 10 persons and our luggage, we would like need at least two larger vehicles. (Unless 15-pass vans??)

Alternatively, are there two or three days group bus tours of the area you would recommend? We are interested in seeing Monevasia (if we can work it in), and as much of Mani as possible (but not interested in Olympia/Delphi - already visited those.).

We toured with Private Greece Tours. https://privategreecetours.com

Here's their TripAdvisor reviews: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g189400-d1924860-Reviews-Private_Greece_Tours-Athens_Attica.html

We spent 5 days with their driver, George. He took us all over on a routing that we designed. The owner, Nikos, was great to work with by email to sort out our plans.

I can't give you a price for a group of 10 but they charge by the vehicle, not by the person, and so your price should be extremely reasonable - even if you require 2 vans. We paid 1650 Euros for a 5 day tour so my math indicates a group of 10 for a 3 day tour should only be a few hundred dollars each.

He's a safe driver, his English is great, he has a great sense of humor and he tailored our touring as he got to know what interested us.

Valerie,
Thank you very much for your reply. I will certainly enjoy reading your blog. Thanks for making it available. I am obsessively studying guidebooks, but often nothing beats a personal narrative of experience. Many thanks!

Fantasy Travel in Athens also will create a tour for you. I used them for a couple of half day tours and found them very good. They used nice very comfortable Mercedes mini buses and their guides were both very good.
