Athens Tour with Piraeus Express - Excellent excursion for a first visit to Athens on 28/04/2022 .
Our Francophone guide Jean Edouard really allowed us to have a great day. It is pleasant smiling and gave us a wealth of information about the city.
The mini bus was comfortable.
We were a family of 8 from 12 to 80 years old and everyone was satisfied with this day.
We were able to make the most of it thanks to the efficiency and kindness of our guide.
We recommend this company

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.

Knowledgeable with odd behavior that deteriorated over time. - We feel that our guide was under the influence of drugs. And used some more while on our tour. The tour took way longer than expected and when we went to lunch, our tour guide kept ordering more and more and more food

Horrible experience - Tour was scheduled for 9am they showed up at 10:30am. This was really not acceptable. Apparently the tour guide overslept. I don’t understand that because the mini bus should have been on time. It was craziness. She offered to extend by 2 hours but we could not extend the time as we had plans at the spa on the ship. The kids thought she was either drunk or had not recovered from the night. It seriously was just a bad experience. The tour guide was pleasant. The bus driver could not speak English but I don’t guess that really matters because the tour guide spoke English. We could have taken a taxi today and had a much better outcome.

Visit Athens - We had to visit Athens with the help of this organization but in view of the health circumstances it was cancelled and since 5 weeks I wait for the refund paid and from their radio silence while booking it was well specified that in case of cancellation1 week before minimum which was largely the case they refund us the deposit paid but nothing at all. Moreover their website no longer exists! So beware and 0 as rating of course! A bon heareur salut!!
