Wonderful tour of Athens! - Tolis was our fabulous guide. Tour was excellent from even before we began, with great communication re pickup. Tolis was very friendly, great sense of humour and incredible knowledge of historical sights and the changing of the guard. Highly recommend requesting him!!

Remarkable landmarks enhanced by passionate guide - The tour was three days ago and we’re still talking about how great it was. Stefanos was passionate about Greek culture and contributions to society. We hit all the major landmarks: the Acropolis, the agora, the changing of the guards, the Olympic stadium, and much more. Stefanos was so enthusiastic and so passionate, he filled the space with Greece’s rich history & personal stories while we were driving in between locations. It was a nice balance to then walk some of the sites on our own while absorbing what Stefanos shared with us. We asked (challenged) him with questions which handled with ease & a sense of humor. One of the best tours we’ve been on.

Athens in a day- great experience! - Terry was amazing. On time, attentive and full of information. He planned everything with perfect timing, and thought of everything from water bottles to umbrellas. Showed us the best parts of Athens, and helped us understand the rich history.

Highlights and recommendations galore - Tolis did and amazing job! He was right on time picking us up from the cruise port. He took us to all the highlights in Athens. We went early to avoid the crowds at the Acropolis, he told us all of the Greek Mythology as we drove to the site. He was very attentive and answered all of our questions. He made sure we saw the changing of the guard and that we had the best view. I would 100% recommend him to anyone! He recommend great restaurants for after our tour and even made sure it was ok before we left him and he texted later to make sure we had gotten to the second location.

Excellent Tour with Andreas - 10/10!!! Andreas exceeded our expectations. He’s extremely knowledgeable about Greek history, enthusiastic, and very obviously a good person. He cared for my wife that’s pregnant as an older brother would- holding doors for her and just so gentle overall. We got to see the city from his eyes and it was that much better. Perfect experience.
