Best way to see Athens highlights in a day! - Our group of four best friends LOVED our all day tour of Athens with Panos! He was on time, professional, very knowledgeable, engaging, friendly and also personable and funny! It was very evident how much he loves Athens and we could sense that everywhere he took us and in everything he shared. The Mercedes minivan, was clean, comfortable and he was a safe driver on the busy streets of Athens. We saw so much and appreciated that we could experience Athens this way. The lunch restaurant setting, staff and food were top notch plus the weather made for a beautiful day to dine outside. Highly recommend this tour and our guide!

Wonderful day in Athens - We had a tour with Panos. It was truly like spending the day with a friend. He knew where to go where to park and what advice to give us to make the best of our day. As he said he was our driver, our tour guide and our bodyguard. He made the day and the visit to Athens very enjoyable.
The cost of the tour was reasonable based on the activities and the pre-purchased tickets.
I would highly recommend spending the day with this company and this driver.
Thank you Panos. We will miss you.

Great day in Athens - Panos was friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. He was very considerate what we wanted to see and do. We had enough time at each location not to feel rushed or just wait around. Panos was a safe but brave driver ! Enjoyable tour!

A Perfect Day in Athens – Thanks to Haris and Olive Sea! - Our private full-day tour of Athens with Haris was truly unforgettable. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in great hands. Haris was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the ancient history of the city, but also about modern Greek culture, politics, and daily life. He wove together stories, facts, and insights that brought the ruins and monuments to life in a way we’ll never forget.
He paced the day perfectly, balancing must-see landmarks with hidden gems, and never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. His kindness and attentiveness made the whole experience feel personalized and relaxed—he even adjusted the itinerary on the fly to match our interests and energy levels.
We can’t recommend Haris and Olive Sea highly enough. If you want a deeper, more meaningful experience of Athens with someone who truly cares about your enjoyment, look no further. This tour was a highlight of our trip!

Family Day Tour of Athens - Panos our guide was exceptional! Very friendly awaiting us at our hotel. Took us to all of the sights, had skip the line tickets ready, and was very knowledgeable of Athens!
The only suggestion is if there was more time allowed at the Agora. We had an hour, but 2 hours was needed. A lot of walking to the site.

Day trip to Athens for Texans - This was the perfect tour for us because we wanted to see a lot but did not know where to start. This gave us a little taste of many different sites which was very helpful for us to plan on which sites we would want to come back too. Manos, our driver, was awesome and was very knowledgeable about the different sites he took us to. At each stop he gave us directions on where to go to enter, where to start our tour and maneuver so not to miss anything and showed us exactly where he would meet us after we were done.
The van was comfortable and fit all five of us perfectly, plus Manos had a microphone so everyone could hear him.
I am giving the whole trip 5 stars because it was stress free, booking this trip was easy, everyone communicated well, Manos was very punctual on where he would be and at what time. Highly recommend!
