While exploring the archaeological site, you will encounter the Temple of Apollo (situated on a rocky hill), the Theatre, the Roman Odeon, the Glauke fountain carved into natural rock, and the Archaeological Museum.

Informative tour with all the sights of Athens - We had a great day with Pedro visiting all the sights of Athens. We started with the Jewish History visiting Etz Hayim and Beth Shalom Synagogues, the Wall of Tears, the new monument to the Greek Righteous Among Nations, and the Holocaust monument. After a great lunch at a local restaurant, we were on to the Greek highlights visiting Ancient Agora, the Acropolis and Museum, changing of the guard, National Library of Greece, Mount Lycabettus - the highest spot in Athens, Olympic stadium, the Temple of Zeus, ZEA Marina and finally a beautiful sunset before returning to the port.

Wealth of information! - We utilized JG Athens for personal guidance in traveling to the Hosios Loukas Monastery and the Delphi ruins. The driver was very helpful and took us to the places we asked. He was a wealth of information regarding the places we visited, and also provided us with recommendations for wonderful places to have a late lunch. On the second day, he took us to the Peloponnese peninsula to see the Corinth canal, Nafplio, and other ruins. The tour was expensive, but the driver was timely, had a clean and well equipped vehicle and all went perfectly and safely. We enjoyed the tour!

Highly Recommend! - John personalized a 3 day/2 night tour for my wife and me through the Peloponnese, including Stemnitsa and Zigovisti. It was an excellent tour, with John proving again what a great driver and guide he is. My first tour with John was pre-Covid so I was very happy to engage him again three years later. We highly recommend John, and plan to use him again ourselves.

Two great trips! - We had a great time with John and I very interesting trips. We were there always before the big buses came with the other tourists. So we had always time to enjoy the place and to make some great pictures. The car is comfortable and John is a good driver. We stopped at nice places and he had a lot to explain. During the drive we could also watch interesting Videos about the places we visited. That was a very good preparation for the ancient spots.
We can recommend John a lot, he is a nice guy with a Hugh knowledge. We made two trips, first day we went from Athen to Delphi and Thermopolis and back to Athen and the second day from Athen to Corinthos, Mycenae, Nafplio and then to Porto Heli. There we said goodbye to John and stayed 3 more days in Porto Heli. A normal Taxi costs also 220 EURO from Athen to Porto Heli and with John we paid 320 EURO, but we saw all the interesting Places on the way and had all the good informations from him, that worth a lot more!!
All was excellent! Thank you very much!

excellent - I had a really great experience. The fact that I was virtually alone due to limited visitor numbers due to COVID was certainly a part of it. But Apostolos was really knowledgeable about Greek myths and history, and the big Merc was a dream. We had a great day chatting about a whole lot of subjects while driving through the rugged countryside. For the small additional cost above the bus tour, it was well work it to have the sites almost to myself. Mycenae and Epidavros are amazing too.
