Customization Made the Most of Our Day in Athens - We took this tour as part of our cruise on the Sun Princess. Our driver met us at the terminal exactly at the scheduled pick up time. We are not people who like to get started too early in the morning. Because this was a private tour we were able to set the start time to midmorning. Another benefit of a private tour is all the time you save that it takes to load and unload a tour bus. Our driver took us directly to the Acropolis where the guide that had been arranged for the Acropolis tour was waiting. Because there were only 3 of us we were easily able to navigate through the crowd, find out-of-the-way places to listen to the guide and carry on a conversation with the guide throughout the tour. The guide’s knowledge added a great deal of value to the tour. When we finished at the Acropolis our driver was waiting and we continued to the other sites. Our driver customized the sites we went to to meet our interests. While not a guide at the sites, the driver was able to narrate about Athens as we drove and provide information about the sites. He was professional and knowledgeable. We returned to the port as scheduled before all-aboard time. This tour made the most of our one day in Athens while accommodating our wishes.

A Top-Notch Tour of the Acropolis and Ancient Agora - We had an excellent tour of the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora with Eleni Maina on 5/28/24. Eleni has an expert level command of Greek history, the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora. Eleni supplemented her comments with prepared visual materials that helped explain the subject matter. Eleni speaks fluent English and she responded directly to each of our many questions. The pace of the tour was comfortable and was adjusted a bit to account for one of our party’s disability. We give Eleni our highest recommendation as a tour guide. We will tour with Eleni on our next trip to Greece and we will recommend her to our friends who travel to Greece.

Fabulous walking tour of Acropolis - Eleni is extremely knowledgeable. We were able to see a great deal in a small amount of time, without feeling rushed. We would highly recommend a tour with her.
