Excellent pickup from cruise ship, tour of Athens, and drop at hotel - Caterina waited right at the cruise ship arrivals and picked all of us up with luggage at end of cruise. Top quality, customised tour of Athens at a fraction of the cost of what was offered by the cruise line. Caterina had amazing knowledge of all the sites and made trip highly enjoyable. At the end we got dropped right by our hotel in Athens.

Athens tour from oceana - We were heading for the hop on hop off bus when we saw Caterina and her mercedes minibus selling tours of Athens . Yanni was the driver .we set off at ten o clock and were taken straight back to our ship at three thirty as promised . The tour was excellent and Caterina speaks passionately and informatively about Athens . She also has a good sense of humour and her English is excellent . The minibus is fully air conditioned and has very comfortable seats . Our tour took us to The Temple of Zeus . The Acropolis .the Original Olympic Stadium . The changing of the Guards which is not to be missed and finally some time in Plaka . Speaking to people back on board we saw much more than any of the ships tours and the hop on hop off bus and at twenty euros it was excellent value.

Great tour of Athens - Took this tour of Athens on our cruise in August. We had Anna as our guide and she did an awesome job getting us to all the sights and explaining everything to us. Very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our day and would never have seen it all on our own in that short of time. The only thing I wouldn't do again is hire the private guide for the Acropolis. It took quite a while to get her organized and while she gave us some good information, I found her English a little hard to understand. It seemed to take a lot of time and when she was done we really didnt have any free time to just look around. We quickly took a few pictures and rushed back to the bus - actually arriving about 10 minutes late. So wouldn't recommend the private guide. However the rest of the tour was great and would definately recommend it and our giude Anna.. Very reasonable cost.

Actually better than average - First the good... Email communication with the company could not have been nicer. The clean, comfortable minibus for our small private guided tour was waiting for us as promised when we left the ship. Unfortunately the promised free wifi was not working so we put our iphones and ipads away. :( Having a guided tour is so helpful when shore time is short and there is so much to see. We were able to see quite a bit on this tour including climbing to the Acropolis, the changing of the guards and other photo op stops and even had contracted for extra time to go to the New Acropolis museum with our guide. I do wish I had thought to ask for headsets for the day as we did have some trouble hearing the guide at times. We learned the value of headset doing other tours since hearing the explanations can be difficult in noisy situations and headsets allow you to look around and take pictures while the guide can continue to explain what you are seeing. So if you go, ask ahead of time for them. Lunch with wine and beer was included and good. It was served very efficiently but I wish I had seen a waiter again to get more to drink. Also, our bus driver was nice enough to find a working ATM for us to use on a Sunday. All in all we enjoyed our tour and would probably use this company again.
