Excellent Tour Guide! - Our tour guide Dimitris picked us up at our hotel and took us straight away to the Acropolis. He explained in detail the Acropolis, the buildings, their significance before we ascended up. It was magnificent. He then pointed out significant statues and buildings in Athens, went to the Ancient Agora ( where he again explained in detail what this was) We saw the changing of the guard ceremony and so many other places of interest. This was our first trip to Athens and Dimitri’s excellent touring abilities gave us great insights into Greek history and their culture. Highly recommend!!!!

The perfect way to see everything you must see! - This was a lovely way to be immersed into all of the important and unbelievable history! We requested a tour guide which made the experience so surreal to learn detailed history as we’re standing on the sites ourselves. We’ve been on tours in the past that felt overwhelming but this one was the perfect balance to be able to see it all and truly take everything in! Our driver and guide were both wonderful and gave us great insight into Athens and recommendations for the rest of our stay.

1/2 day with Tolis - What a fantastic day, our guide Tolis communicated with us in advance, he was on time and the car was clean and comfortable. After our timed entry at the Acropolis, we hit all of the highlights of Athens including the Birds Eye view from the tallest peak, the Olympic stadium, the park… a highlight for us was the court side seat at the changing of the guard at the President’s residence. Tolis was super knowledgeable (explaining all of the history of everything we saw) and he was personable, and made sure we had ice cold water available during it was our staff pleasure to spend the afternoon with him.
