Amazing half day private tour with Dimitris! - We had a great day seeing all the sites in Athens. Dimitris was so knowledgeable and nice. He answered all of our questions and took us to a yummy local spot for baklava! I changed the date multiple times due to changes in my trip and he was very accommodating with that as well. I highly recommend a tour with Athens Tour Driver!

Simply the Best. - Konstantin is a knowledgeable, organized, friendly, and reliable guide. He has a real passion to tailor the best of his city to his guests. We learned more on this trip than our two previous visits combined ... all while having great fun. Konstantin will show you an Athens you never knew before, and one you won't soon forget. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Tour guide very accomodating. - The tour guide was great. We were 4 older ladies who don't like walking so he was very accomodating. We very much enjoyed the changing of the guards. The tour guide spoke good English and was knowlegable.

Morning tour of Athens - Tasod was a great guide and driver. We had a lovely morning. We saw the Temple of Zues, Acropolis, parthalon, changing of the guards and Olympic stadium. So glad we booked in the morning. 1/2 a day was the perfect amount of time.

Perfect (half) day. - We managed to make the most out of the few hours we had to explore Athens. Our guide Dimitrios was excellent. Full of knowledge, energy, and great attitude. We kept hopping from one location to the other using his luxurious van And it was very convenient, efficient, and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Perfect private tour from cruise ship - Absolutely spot on. We were in a cruise so had limited time in Athens but a list of places we wanted to see. We are 2 couples and one of us had used this company 4 years ago and had a great day with Manos . Phillip was our tour guide/driver this time and he personalised our tour to suit us.His knowledge of Athens and its history is first class. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would not hesitate to recommend.

Felt like a Greek for the day! By Far the Best! - We took Athens Tour Driver about 7 years ago and are back and called and asked if Manos could take us again. We were sad to hear he has retired but wish him all the best! His son Dimitrious made sure we were well cared for and sent Philippos to show us this magnificent city once again. Phillippos was waiting for us when we arrived (15 minutes early)! Kind, Gracious, Personable, Caring and very knowledgeable about Greece and world affairs. It was as if we had a University Course on Greek Food, Culture, Geography and History in 4 1/2 hours. Our 16-year-old daughter wanted to see a Greek Flea Market and Phillippos made it happen with the blink of an eye! We have used MANY tour companies around the world and recommend Athens Tour Driver as our #1 Favorite! Thank you for helping us make family memories that will last a lifetime!
