We booked this tour last... - We booked this tour last minute and it was worth it! We saw all the major landmarks, the driver was great, the van was clean and best of all we were able to move through traffic easily because of a holiday that had a lot of folks out of town.

Great last minute booking! - What a great day! This was a last-minute booking and it did not disappoint Spyros picked us up promptly at our hotel. He had all of the great sites for us to see and gave us plenty of time to look around and take photos, he even made suggestions for us. Honestly, this was a great day in Athens.

Perfectly executed tour - We were in Greece for only a short period of time. Andreas and his wife created and planned a very efficient itinerary for us to see and experience as much as possible. It was the perfect balance of guiding us on the history and amazing architecture to giving us enough time to ourselves, to explore on our own. Highly recommend this company on any of their tours!

Your inside people in Athens! - Had a lovely experience both during the tour with Andreas as well as with planning and hotel transfers working with Marina and Konstantinos. Andreas was very knowledgeable and personalized our experience very well. We hit all the major sights within a short time and felt we had a complete experience despite our short stay. Highly highly recommend the team for all your transportation and touring needs in Athens.

This is the tour you want ! - We took a tour in Athens yesterday, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Upon confirming our purchase, Marina immediately reached out to ensure all our needs were met for the tour. I shared what we wanted to see and do, and she connected us with Konstantinos, our guide for the day. He was incredibly knowledgeable, showing us both the well-known and hidden gems of Athens, while providing detailed explanations at every stop. We enjoyed our time with him far more than we anticipated, and I highly recommend him and his company for anyone looking for a top-notch tour in Athens.

Private drive, not necessarily a private tour - Not bad. On time and took us around, but be aware. This is a private drive around, not necessarily a tour. The driver explained us a few things, but we are left to explore on our own. Not bad for the price, but to be noted it's not a tour.

Tour guide was awesome! - The tour was really nice. The tour guide was very informative. The only issue is I would have liked the tour guide would have joined us on the tour. He told us a little bit about place and then dropped us off and we toured alone. For the price we paid, it should of been included.
