A wonderful welcome to Athens - Mom and I were picked up at our hotel and were introduced to Ruslan our tour guide and John our driver. We were immediately immersed in the history of ancient and at times contemporary Greece. Ruslan was extremely knowledgeable explaining buildings, temples and architecture as John expertly navigated the traffic . The great part of this trip is that you are able to get in and out of the vehicle to view historical sites and temples or places of interest. John escorted us to purchase tickets which was easy as it was classed as off season and the queues were very small ,4/5 at any one ticket office . However, if it was later on in April Ruslan advised to purchase tickets prior as queues are long. Today, mom and I time travelled back in time with a sense of awe with the iconic Acropolis and the magnificence of the Parthenon and everything within its walls. Spectacular Vista’s took your breath away. We visited many temples and sites . For example,the Agora , Temple of Zeus , Hadrian’s Arch and Kallimarmaro Stadium made of marble, to name but a few! Ruslan insisted there was no rush and plenty of time to walk around and take in the history. Plenty of beautiful classical marble pillars to admire with beautiful sculpturing. Ruslan was great as he kept in touch and I’d send a message saying where we were and he’d come and meet us and take us back to our lovely air conditioned vehicle. This trip is well worth the money and the fact it was only mom and I meant we didn’t haven’t to wait for others and could go at our pace. As a first timer to Athens it was absolutely amazing to be shown as many sites in 5 hours. The changing of the guard was impressive and the history behind their uniforms was explained by Ruslan. Well worth watching in my opinion! This trip is suitable for anyone that is able to walk fairly well and is steady on their feet as it is rocky in places on the accent to the top of the Acropolis. Albeit at a slow steady pace, my mom 88, managed to climb to the top of the Acropolis and was able to walk around all the other sites en-route. A memorable experience, great knowledgeable tour guide and brilliant driver. Thank you.

Amazing! Would do again in a heartbeat. - A very comprehensive and personalized tour! Ruslan was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. He made an effort to make sure that my daughter and I got to prioritize where we spent time and that we got to see every major archaeological site.

Great private tour of Athens - It's our first time in Athens and I'm glad I selected this private tour. Our guide Ruslan communicated with me ahead of our trip to get our Acropolis tickets for a certain time after our tour started and answered my other questions. On the morning of, he texted me and picked us up in front of our hotel on time. He was very knowledge about Greek history and took us to all the major places to visit. Additionally he gave good recommendations for museums, restaurants, and places to shop, and other tours next time we come back to Athens. He was very courteous and would definitely recommend him.

This was a prefect... - This was a prefect introduction to Athens. Our tour guide George was really great! So flexible, knowledgeable and friendly. Having a private tour was also nice as we could spend what time we wanted at the stops, rather than be at the mercy of other travelers. Thanks for a great day George!

A great tour of the most impressive sites in Athens - While we do enjoy exploring on foot, we would have missed a lot without this tour because we were traveling with my 73 year old mother. This tour gave us a chance to visit the essential sites without exhaustion. At each site we could get out and explore, seeing the city at our own pace. Highly recommend.
