A short visit to Athens made better by Olive Sea Travels - The best parts of this tour were the small group size and the itinerary. Nothing was rushed and our driver Manolis was a wealth of knowledge. He had an infectious personality that heightened the experience for everyone in the group. Once we completed our scheduled timing at the Acropolis, the rest of the day was very flexible with the order of the rest of the activities. I would recommend Olive Sea Travel to anyone looking for a tour. I should also mention that the pre tour communications were timely and informative. Overall a 6 star experience.

Awesome trip with an awesome guide - Theodore was very accommodating and helpful. We were not on time for the tour because of immigration from the cruise ship but he was very helpful in helping us meet up with the group at the first stop He was very accommodating and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him as a guide for anyone coming to Athens As our plans changed after the tour, he was very helpful helping us make arrangements to make the rest of our day easier The fact that tickets were pre-purchased allowed us to skip the long to get lines which was great

Awesome experience of Athens - We loved our tour of Athens. It was the perfect length and the right pace for our needs. Our guide Stefanos was very passionate and knowledgeable about Greek culture. We thought the tour was a very good value for everything we saw. The traditional Greek meal at the end of the tour was perfect. We highly recommend this tour.

A great day in Athens - Our driver, Panos, was very informative and courteous. The day was fantastic. All of the attraction tickets were pre arranged, so no waiting in line. Panos provided detailed explanations of the sites we visited, some history, and really went out of his way to make is comfortable. The included lunch was authentic and tasty, but who can go wrong with Greek food? Lol. At the end of the day, I would recommend this tour to anyone who prefers a more personalized experience as opposed to being herded around like cattle in a 50 passenger bus. In my opinion, it is worth the extra money to have a more relaxing, and more importantly, more memorable day in Athens. This delivered all of the above, so I highly recommend it. Thank you, Panos!

WONDERFUL TOUR! - Excellent tour!!!! Our guide, Manos, was very knowledgeable and explained everything with just the right amount of detail. The best part was his passion for his country and desire to share it with us! We got great lessons in Greek history, saw all the important sites, learned about life in Greece and had fun! Manos said by the end we would love Greece and its people…he was absolutely correct!!

A little disappointed, overall a good tour - The tour just wasn’t what we expected. The transportation vehicle was fantastic. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The tour group was a little larger than we expected. It was difficult to have a conversation with the guide. The lunch was excellent. I would recommend this to a friend but with reservations.

Mainly a drop off - Okay, we arrived early to the meeting point, the guy arrived early, in office clothes, which seemed unusual since to its a long day tour, and you need to be as comfortable as possible, anyways we got to the van the tour guide seemed nice, but we arrived at the first stop, and he just drop us off gave our tickets and bye , and he didn't go up to guide us to the place , we went up there and we were kind of lost at Acropolis , up there I saw tour guides explaining the history of the sites which is what I expected, but this "tour" i wouldn't call it a tour its mainly a drop off of the sites and then you have you figure out and imagine the history of the arquological site you are looking up, but dont get me wrong if you are looking for just a drop off to the sites you want to visit , this tour is for you. In my case this is not what I expected and its not a tour in my opinion ande very expensive. I wouldn't do it again.
