Great half day with Dimitris! - We had a great tour with Dimitris! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and even had a great lunch suggestion! We visited during a very hot day, and even with the Acropolis closed, we were able to see so much of Athens in a comfortable and air-conditioned van with cold waters provided. Our tour included tickets for the Acropolis Museum, views of the Acropolis, information all over town, the Olympic Stadium, and more. We all agreed that it was a wonderful day.

Fabulous tour of Athens highlights! - We had a fabulous tour this morning with Pantelis from Olive Sea Travel. He picked us up promptly and took us around all morning to see the major sights of Athens. He was informative, friendly and flexible. We had time to tour the sights and take pictures. Cold water awaited us in a nice clean car. Would definitely tour with Pantelis again! Highly recommend!!!

Great tour! - We had an amazing day with Tolis & Vaso. We had just one day in Athens and wanted to see all the highlights as fast as we could. They worked well together to coordinate pick up and drop off locations that were easily accessible and fast. We truly saw so much in just 4 hours and they were fun and informative. Highly recommend!

Trip to Corinth and Athens. - What a wonderful day. Customized to our EXACT need and request. Driver even bought us a snack while in Corinth. Driver went above and beyond. Drove us to site of our choosing and his recommendation, he told us the amount of time he thought it would take to visit the site. We would txt him when we were ready to go and off we went on the next adventure. Nikos did a fantastic job. I was a little worried doing a private tour to make sure we made it back to our cruise. But he handled everything precisely as needed. GREAT JOB
