Quality experience
By actually participating in the adventures we design & by listening to feedback from returning travelers, we are continually improving our trips — adding a quiet meal in a typical restaurant or a private visit to an intriguing but relatively unknown archaeological dig or substituting a hotel to an exclusive Boutique Hotel. We have partnered with the most capable in-country operators & without exception, we work with experienced, resident guides who are among the most knowledgeable & enthusiastic people in their region. Our guides offer you an insider’s perspective, showing you hidden corners of their country that you might never discover on your own.
Like-minded traveling companions
Private Greece’s small-group programs consistently attract thoughtful world travelers who are repelled by the idea of being herded from site to site. They are innately inquisitive & relish the idea of personal participation in their vacation. Our guests have ranged in age from 7 to 77 with most being in their mid-thirties to mid-fifties. They are individuals from all walks of life who follow a healthy, active lifestyle & who are responsible, well-informed citizens with a sense of adventure & a strong interest in & respect for nature & local cultures. If you are a single traveler, contact us to find out which departures have small groups forming that you can join.
Exceptional value
You will find the prices of our adventures to be very competitive with those of other first-class tour operators who have been in the business for 15 years or longer. But it is the something extra that comes from outstanding personal service, attention to detail & a quality experience that exemplifies Private Greece’s exceptional value. It is the hassle-free planning of having all of your trip logistics, accommodations, meals, transportation & the best local guides taken care of. It is the peace of mind derived from having experts oversee the details that will ensure that you have a safe & enjoyable journey. It is the security of knowing that you’ll receive what is promised in our literature & the opportunity to relax because all you need do is open yourself to new destinations & enjoying life & your travel companions. Finally, it is the sense of satisfaction & the great memories you get from having received the richest travel experience possible – start to finish.
Responsible travel
We believe that all operators have an obligation to conduct their business in a conscientious, responsible & sustainable manner insuring that their presence in a region has the most positive effect possible. Our philosophy & business practices have embraced the concept of ecotravel since our inception. Our travel style focuses on keeping our groups small – typically 4-8 guests – assuring that our programs have a minimal impact upon the people we encounter as well as on the wilderness areas we explore. Our small group size also allows each trip member to receive personal attention from their native guides, their in-country staff & from our experienced Greek team. We respect & strive to preserve the cultural integrity of the locals we meet & we educate both residents & visitors with regards to practicing minimum impact travel. We are actively involved in regional & local conservation efforts & we maximize the economic benefit of our tours to our host land.
