Eukanubauser, Jul 2022
Nicko was incredible. Full of life and information. A true pleasure to tour with. He knew the best spots and was very accommodating. The last part... we were boarding ship that was set to leave in an hour when I figured out my 7 year old had placed my phone in the side pocket of the car's door. I frantically waved down a taxi to see if they knew our driver (all of Nickos contact info was in said lost phone). Apparently, everyone knows and loves Nicko and they called him and he made the journey right back for drop off. That could have been bad. Thanks to Nicko's quick action and loved character, I tracked down and got phone back. Highly recommend for tours and even slight emergencies.

I travel to Olympia, Greece with my wife and two friends. John was our driver. He did a really good job taking us around the island. Though he was not a tour guy, he was able to provide us with enough information for us to enjoy our visit to the Olympic museum as well as a winery. He monitored the level of activity at different tourist areas and was able to help us make the most of our day. He took us to an excellent winery Turrisi, where they produce both wine and olive oil. There we had a great tour and were able to sample some of the wines and olive oil. I strongly recommend to anyone taking this type of a tour to realize the difference between having a driver and a license tour guide. In this instance we were able to plan our day with John and had a great day.
