Historical Athens - We had an amazing experience in Athens where we discover lots of historical monuments and also did some shopping. Theo is always available to help and he is very friendly and professional. He will make you discover and love Athens in less time. I recommend him for any trip in Athens and his knowledge is vast.

Great tour! - This was a great tour. Ted our guide was prompt and polite and knowledgable about the city and stops we made. He was not able to go into the Acropolis with us as he was not a licensed tour guide but it was still an amazing site and by this time on our cruise we had seen plenty of ancient ruins and we could go at our own pace to visit the site without having to hear about each spot in the Acropolis. If you want to hear the details and specifics of the ruins you should do a tour with a licensed guide but Ted was perfect for our needs. He allowed plenty of time fro pictures and free time at the Acropolis. He took us to a restaurant that served authentic Greek food and all four people in our group agreed this was the best Greek food we have ever tasted. After the tour he dropped us off at our request to do a little shopping in a different area of the town and we had the option of paying him to extend the tour or getting an Uber/taxi to take us back to the cruise ship. We opted on the Uber as to not have him just sit and wait in the van and we had no problems at all after the recommendations he gave us. He was also flexible with the tour start time and we left earlier than scheduled as to "get ahead" of the larger groups in the city and this was very helpful. Communication was easy through Viator and his personal Whatsapp account.

Athens Introduction - Excellent introduction to Athens. Time at each stop was just right and Ted was always where and when he said he would be to move on. Highly recommended.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - Ted was a great tour guide. He’s from Athens born and raised, and he took my mom and I to all of the really cool local places. We had gyros at a local neighborhood restaurant, and it was so fun! Ted also was very helpful, my mom has trouble getting around and he always offered to help her get out and in the van, along with carrying anything. He also took pictures, and was great at it! He met us at the arrival port for the cruise and he was just great. He even went out of his way to take me to where Giannis grew up playing basketball. That was not included but so generous and an amazing time I’ll never forget!

Great day in Athens with Ted - Ted was an incredible find. He was courteous and shared a ton of knowledge about the locations he took us to. He had our site tickets ready so we could skip those lines, cold water in the vehicle, and picked a delicious lunch spot. He was also super helpful for our friends whose luggage was lost by Lufthansa. Ted helped make calls and spoke to the agents on their behalf so they didn't have to try and translate. Anyone coming to Athens needs to book a tour with Ted and Athens Experience. Thank you for a terrific day!!!

Athens in a Day with Ted - Ted really packed a lot into our one day in a Rome prior to leaving on our 14-Day Cruise of the Mediterranean. We saw the Acropolis, Chapel of St George at Mount Lycabettus (tallest of the seven hills), Temple of Olympian Zeus plus the Changing of Presidential Guards. He was friendly and informative. So glad we found him for our one day in Athens.
