Amazing day in Athens! - I cannot say enough. Yiannis is an exceptional guide. The Acropolis was fascinating, but the Temple of Poseidon was the highlight. Amazing day in Athens!

Perfect Day! - Perhaps the smartest thing I did on our entire 14 day vacation was to add a guide to our tour of Athens. With only one day in port (on a cruise) I really wanted to make sure my family got as much exposure as possible and these guys checked ALL the boxes. Our guide Martina was able to avoid the worst of the crowds at the Parthenon and pointed out all of the hills, telling us stories about the development and history of Athens. Once at the Parthenon there isn’t much marked so my family would have just been lost and overwhelmed without Martina. Perhaps even better than the sites was just hanging out
with Martina and our driver, Panos. Their rapport with each other was wonderful, they told stories together and reminded each other of little tidbits we might want to know. Panos got us seemlessly from one place to the next, always looking out for our comfort and safety. With these two we had the best of both worlds- a deep understanding of the history and myth of Athens and a beautiful peek at the lives and gracious nature of the Greek people. I appreciate the gifts of their time and knowledge- thank you Martina and Panos!!

just do it! - We had a spectacular day with Stefanos Malatos. He truly made the day remarkable with his knowledge, humor, and genuine charm. He helped me see connections between ancient and modern worlds and cultures.

Perfect tour. We... - Perfect tour. We preferred to move at our own pace. The tour guide was amazing. Everything we wanted to get from a complete tour of Athens we got. I highly recommend!!! We only needed to book this one tour and I loved it. We were picked up promptly at 8am and went to Acropolis before the crowds arrived. I loved every moment.

Athens private tour - Our tour guide Stefano was absolutely amazing. He was so knowledgeable got us front of the line for all of the attractions. He went above and beyond sharing his stories of his country. We did not feel like we were with a stranger. We felt like we were with a friend, he took us to a local restaurant and had the most fantastic meal. I would recommend to anybody that wants to see Athens with Friend.

Great all day tour of Athens and Temple of Poseidon - Chris was exceptional driver & tour guide. Very nice and very accommodating to all we wanted to see and experience.
There were 9 of us so a private tour was way to go. Chris met & exceeded all our expectations.
Highly recommend Viator and Olive Travel (and Chris).
