MY TOURS' PHILOSOPHY

Each guided tour I offer is unique, adjusted to your interests and desires, as well as any other personal considerations. For families, I am focused on the children, and appropriately modify tours to their needs and cognitive levels, with fun and educational activities.
I work with small groups (2-10 persons), thus enabling the visitors to experience an in-depth insight and a more intimate look at the local culture. Most of my tours are walking tours, however those that involve longer distances where a vehicle is required, transfer is not a problem: I often collaborate with professional and excellent drivers who will cater to the group’s needs.
My priority is to meet -and exceed- visitors’ expectations with tours that will be enjoyed and remembered for years to follow.

ANSWERS TO FAQ - MUST-READ INFORMATION

  • All my tours are family-friendly. (Read more about my experience, on About and Reviews)
  • The sites’ tickets are not included in the cost of the tour; they are purchased either on the spot, or electronically, in advance -depending on the archaeological site/museum.
  • An email with the meeting point, as well as other information, will be sent to you, once you fill out the Form.
  • The Acropolis hill is slippery and rocky on the top and somehow steep on the slopes; therefore, visitors with walking disabilities must take it into consideration. (The Acropolis elevator operates only for people on wheel chairs.)
  • A deposit of 50 euros is required, so that both parties engage the date. The rest is paid upon arrival, in cash. If the tour is cancelled by the clients, this amount will be retained as compensation for the organization and correspondence work carried out before the trip.
  • The length of the tour has to be fulfilled as agreed originally; if extended due to clients’ delays, this extra time is charged further.
  • In case of extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, temperatures above 40o C and below 05o C), and according to the forecast the day before, tours are modified for indoors sites.
  • For a thematic/off the beaten track tour, you will receive further information.

I travel to different countries during my life and have met a number of guides. I can only say that Nadia is one of the best Linda Yin, Hong Kong, China
Our guide Nadia Pavlikaki could not have been more knowledgeable, considerate, interactive, and charming. She adjusted the tour to my wife and my different tastes, and her extensive knowledge in archaeology and art history gave her the skill to answer all our questions Ed and Joyce Conant, Georgia, U.S.A
She completely customized our tour based on interests we discussed before we left for our trip. Nadia has an incredible ability to frame the events and stories she shared with us in the context of that moment in history Brian McLaren, Washington D.C., U.S.A
Our guide Nadia was amazing. Her narrative was engaging, and she made sure everything we saw came alive. Going through these sites without her storytelling would not have been even 5% as much fun Niraj Ranjan Rout, Karnataka, India
