Wonderful Private Tour to See Everything! - We had a great experience on the private tour with Alex! Alex was knowledgeable, pleasant, flexible and was super accommodating with all our requests and answered all of our questions in detail. We saw wonderful sites and leaned the history and stories behind each place we visited. Alex speaks English very well and helped us navigated threw the city we visited the first time. He even went out of his way to recommend restaurants for our following destinations. We will definitely reach out to him if we come back! Highly recommended! Alex - thank you for helping create a tresured memory for our family!

Perfectly Organized and Fun for the Whole Family! - We had a fantastic time on this half-day private tour of Athens! Everything was perfectly organized, and in just four hours we managed to see all the key highlights: the Acropolis and its museum, the Olympic Stadium, a breathtaking panoramic viewpoint over the city, the ceremonial changing of the guard in front of the Parliament, and more. My teenagers (of different ages) and I all truly enjoyed the experience. Our driver and guide, Panos, was incredibly polite, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout. Highly recommended for families looking to explore Athens in a short time without feeling rushed!

Athens Half Day Private Luxury Tour - A simply fabulous way to see Athens especially in the heat as car was very comfortable and cool. Got to see places we would never have seen otherwise as well as usual tourist spots. Guide/Driver (Periklis) was superb. Very knowledgeable, excellent English and perfect mix of interesting information and humour. We were on cruise and driver was waiting for us at terminal 2 (as arranged) Piraeus Cruise Port at 09.15 and we were back on board by 13.30 having seen loads in a relaxed, comfortable manner. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent value for money informative tour - Ioanis was an excellent guide and we were very lucky to see all of the Athens highlights at a very good pace. We opted not to buy entry tickets and this allowed more time to fully explore Athens. Ioanis' commentary was informative and interesting and covered not only the Athens highlights but also broader topics of life in Athens and Greece. A wonderful tour and excellent value for money.

A Day in Athens - Loannis, was a great tour guide, he was extremely knowledgeable and informative about the whole schedule program, he included a free time stop where he recommended a great restaurant with great food. He was super friendly and attentive to detail. Would definitely recommend Loannis to be your next tour guide when you come to Athens. Thanks for a great day

We went with... - We went with Ioannis(apologies about spelling) who was so knowledgeable about the city, super friendly and tailored the experience to our needs. It was a wonderful introduction to Athens and having the car meant we could cover alot more than if we were on foot.

Worst experience of my traveling career - If I could give this zero stars I would. The guide was supposed to be English speaking. And while he was, his accent was so strong he was hard to understand. Im fine with that. I am. I get it. Im in their country not mine. But not when im paying for an English guide! He did have a lot of knowledge that he told us about (when we could understand him). Thr guide picked us up at the airport but then we sat there for over 10 minutes due to some parking pass issue. I had to pay extra for airport pick up (which i was fine with ) but they said the tour was 4.5 hours long. Getting into and out of the city took an hour each way....they ended up trying to build both things on to the tour time. Im sorry. What. When I contacted the main office about the issues they were EXTREMELY rude and terrible. They said that I was being difficult and expecting them to work for free when I never did so. I always asked how much for whatever I was asking for. But then I would pay and then they would change their itinerary and length. I kept shelling out money and did not get what was agreed upon. The guide did more "well the office" talk then he did actual tour talk. We had toyed with the idea of extending the tour in the beginning becuase we had the extra layover time and all i did was asked the office if it was possible and then It became impossible to even enjoy our tour becuase the whole time we were getting bombarded with the office sending a million WhatsApp messages about everything when we all agreed in thr beginning that we would see at the end of the tour if time permitted. And like I said the guide talked more about the office then anything. They made our athens day trip so extremely miserable and upsetting that it made me hate the entire day and stained Athens for me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!! We are an extremely well traveled couple going to more then 30 countries all over the world. Self guided, private guided group guided layovers you name it we have done it. I have NEVER had an experience like this before. I spend soo much time looking and comparing for the best option and this one got me! Please. Find a reputable guide and company. Not this one! And I know that this company will probably backlash and try to argue with everything that I just said becuase they already told me they would so its expected at this point! But please trust me. This is a terrible company and I actually felt bad for the driver to have such a terrible boss.
