City highlights - We had an amazing day exploring Athens with our driver, Michael. He showed us all the city’s highlights and thoughtfully planned the day to help us avoid the crowds. He even made sure we arrived at the airport on time for our evening flight. We couldn’t recommend VIP Tours Athens more highly!

Must Do Private tour of Athens! - Our guide Apostolos was awesome! We knew we wanted to visit the Acropolis and have some great authentic food (he took us to the BEST) but he also took us to the highest hill to see 360 views. He also showed us a great place to shop and get some drinks to take back with us to the rental. He was so great and made our day fantastic!

We had a wonderful day in... - We had a wonderful day in Athens with our driver and guide. I highly recommend this tour for families with teenagers or kids. We all enjoyed the air conditioning car and it was a nice blend of walking/driving. The tour covers a lot of information but our guide was great at explaining everything. I was also happy to see most of the important things in Athens in one day since we had a limited timeframe in Athens. Thanks again for a wonderful tour.

A Fantastic day! - Michael was our driver and guide. We used him 3x over our trip. What a great day, an incredible company and a wonderful driver to share our day with. Extremely flexible, 100% engaging, and a wealth of local knowledge. I would not book with any other company or person. See you again Michael!!

- We were a party of three and, used VIP Tours Athens for a full day tour of Athens. From the outset communication with the company was fantastic. We had the option to purchase tickets to all the locations we were visiting the day or, VIP Tours would take care of this on our behalf, we opted for the latter as, again, it just made it far easier for us knowing that everything was taken care of. Our driver, Michael, was just amazing from start to finish. He arrived slightly earlier than expected to collect us from our hotel but, we were under no pressure to rush. Michael was chatty, personable, very knowledgeable and, we felt completely safe with him. We communicated via WhatsApp throughout the day which, worked very well. The car was perfect, fully air conditioned which, was needed as it was an extremely hot day but, again, Michael was on hand thought out the day with bottles of cold water which, was very much needed. We would recommend VIP Tours to anyone visiting the area and, if we were to return, we wouldn’t hesitate in using them again.

Amazing tour of Athens and Mateora - I can’t say enough how amazing our driver George was. He was not only very professional but also very friendly and gave us so much information throughout the journey. We took two separate tours with him and he made the experience even more special and amazing. Would definitely recommend VIP tours.
