Where We book Our Tours
Viator – Save Up to 20%
Most tours have a “free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour” policy and a flexible option to reserve the tour and pay later if you want to save a spot but don’t have your credit card with you. My favorite tour was the helicopter tour in Lake Tahoe!
Get Your Guide – Huge Selection Of Tours
We did a trip to Greece & Belgium and booked 5 tours including a chocolate making tour in Brussels and the Greek Wedding Show in Santorini! Tours were the best part of the trip because they created such unforgettable moments!
How to get around
Transportation Recommendations
Discover Cars
If you need to rent a car, go to Discover Cars. You’ll find the cheapest prices with no hidden fees and free cancellation. There are 25+ car suppliers with 1,900+ cars available in California so you are bound to find the best car for you.
Welcome Pickups
While we drive around in our own car in California, we recommend this option if you need a ride to transfer airports or sightsee and don’t have a car/rental car. We used Welcome Pickups to be picked up and dropped off at the Athens International Airport. The entire process from signing up to being dropped off was smooth.
Pro Tip: Plan your trip around when the rental car prices are the cheapest.
