Athens - Best tour ever - This was the best tour of any city in Europe we did. Our driver Dimitrious was as amazing! So knowledgeable and friendly! We would do this again if we knew we had him as a driver/guide. Thanks so much for everything!

Hands down the best Athens tour on TripAdvisor - We had an amazing time on our full day private Athens tour. Our private driver Manos is amazing, very knowledgeable on everything about Athens. It was a pleasure to get to know him and enjoy his stories and knowledge, we were very pleased with this tour. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking to see all the highlights of Athens in the comforts of a private tour and large Mercedes sprinter van. Love the whole day,
A big thanks to Manos for making our trip to Athens so memorable.

Outstanding tour guide in Manos - Manos our tour guide was amazing. He was a true, vivacious, joyful Greek. He was so knowledgeable of the town of Athens as well as the culture of Greece. He could be serious, but also kept us laughing. Excellent tour. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Extraordinary day in Athens - Manos was amazingly wonderful from the moment he picked us up to the time he took us back to the port. He was a funny genuine individual who was so knowledgeable of Athens and Greece. Also, we really enjoyed Alisa’s tours of the Parthenon, changing of the guards, Agora, and Olympic stadium. The day was one of many memories for our family.

Best way to see Athens in a day - Our tour guide Manos was excellent. He arrived at our hotel early, his car was clean, and he explained the itinerary to us for the day. We appreciated all the stops and photo opportunities, and the historical perspective and his kind demeanor. Highly recommend and would certainly book again.
