This is the BEST way of traveling through Greece! Nikko picked us at our hotel in Athens and the next 5 days drove us through the Peloponnese and provided a head-ache free vacation. He checked us into all the hotels, and gave us clear directions re walking through museums and archaeologic sites. Seriously appreciated the history of Olympia, Spata, Mycenae....Nikko was a wonderful driver, and had planned out a wonderful tour---His choice of food venues was spot-on and he did a great job getting to know us in an effort to customize the tour TO OUR NEEDS. I strongly recommend this tour ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF NIKKO!
