George is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had! - We did several tours with George and by the time our tours ended we were so sad to see him go as he had really become a part of our group. He was professional, safe, always early and wonderfully patient about answering our many questions and giving us a good understanding of what we were going to see and where to meet him back. He really made our trip and the places we visited special. One of the members of our group lost her cell phone at Mycenae and George not only got on his phone and started calling the places we had been but then detoured back there after their closing hours and asked them to wait so she could get it back. Easily something that could have ruined her trip but instead George quickly sorted it out and reassured her 50 times that it was not a big deal and it wasn’t ruining his day (not sure if that was true but definitely what she needed to hear). Would not hesitate to book any tour with George anywhere anytime!

Highly recommended! Great alternative to the group tours. - Wonderful experience! Our driver and tour guide was very friendly and polite and gave us a great tour. The car was cool and comfortable. The views of Temple of Sounion at sunset were amazing. We highly recommend especially in summer when you may want to have a cooler afternoon.

Best way to spend day - Having a later flight out following disembarking a cruise we booked a tour with Athens Limos at 9am with & airport drop off at 3pm. Very hot day so we were grateful to be able to hop in & out of the vehicle. Had a lovely day driving up the coast out of Athens with Peter. A part of Athens we hadn't seen before & well worth it. Very friendly, patient & helpful guide for the day. A beautiful lunch at a coastal restaurant before airport drop off! Perfect! Thank you

Great trip for sunset - Definitely a must do. The driver was very courteous and knowledgeable. He took us to an intimate restaurant with the best Greek seafood we have tasted. The view and experience of the temple was something to remember forever. Thank you so much.
