Had an awesome tour. - Dimitrious was very accommodating and flexible. He gave us information and history that was helpful since he does not accompany you into the Acropolis. It was a lovely day. After the time climbing the Acropolis he took us to a few other really high sites to help see the city from above. My hub has knee issues so outside of the Acropolis- the rest of the tour was doable bc we were driven. The vehicle was nice and clean and he kept us hydrated and comfortable. Would do it again.

Amazing half day private tour with Dimitris! - We had a great day seeing all the sites in Athens. Dimitris was so knowledgeable and nice. He answered all of our questions and took us to a yummy local spot for baklava! I changed the date multiple times due to changes in my trip and he was very accommodating with that as well. I highly recommend a tour with Athens Tour Driver!

Simply the Best. - Konstantin is a knowledgeable, organized, friendly, and reliable guide. He has a real passion to tailor the best of his city to his guests. We learned more on this trip than our two previous visits combined ... all while having great fun. Konstantin will show you an Athens you never knew before, and one you won't soon forget. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Tour guide very accomodating. - The tour guide was great. We were 4 older ladies who don't like walking so he was very accomodating. We very much enjoyed the changing of the guards. The tour guide spoke good English and was knowlegable.

Morning tour of Athens - Tasod was a great guide and driver. We had a lovely morning. We saw the Temple of Zues, Acropolis, parthalon, changing of the guards and Olympic stadium. So glad we booked in the morning. 1/2 a day was the perfect amount of time.

Perfect (half) day. - We managed to make the most out of the few hours we had to explore Athens. Our guide Dimitrios was excellent. Full of knowledge, energy, and great attitude. We kept hopping from one location to the other using his luxurious van And it was very convenient, efficient, and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Great experience, but should come with a special advisory for purchasing tickets. - Lambros, our private tour guide, was great. However, the etickets we were advised to purchase for the Acropolis, from Hellenic Heritage, were a major frustration. Our party is from Canada and the USA. We were all over 65 years old, so I ordered 15 euro tickets (normally 30 euro). When we arrived at the gate, we were told this discount only applied to residents of Europe. We were denied entry by two grumpy employees, and told to go to the long ticket line to buy appropriate tickets. There was no consideration for the money already paid. We had to pay again, the full 30 euros for each person, and the delay almost caused us to miss our time slot. Why do senior Europeans get a discount and other countries do not? That's discrimination! Please advise your clients to be aware of this issue, so that they are not treated the same way we were at the gate.
