Amazing tour - Manos was the best tour guide ever, he was so kind and accommodating. He showed us all of the best spots in Athens to take photos and all of the history behind the city. He gave us excellent recommendations and he was so fun to talk to. 100% worth the money, highly recommend.

Ask for Manos! - We really enjoyed our day with Manos, our tour guide. He is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Athens history. He's a great driver and got us around the city quickly and safely. Plus, he's just a really nice guy.

Great overview of Athens in a day. - We had a lovely day with Manos as our guide. Got my 83 year old mother up to the acropolis/parthenon to fulfill a life goal. We got to see the Agora have an authentic Greek lunch and learn more about the culture. The lookout over the city and plaka areas were nice additions. Great tour.

Great experience and a must do! - Manos our guide was exceptional. He was passionate and knowledgeable about Athens and we enjoyed the entire day. There is plenty of time to do all the things we wanted to do, and as an extra bonus, our lunch was delicious.

Outstanding private 6 hour tour with Manos - Manos was excellent. His energy and level of engagement were outstanding. His love of Greece is there in everything he says. He took us to all of the sites and explained them in the car before and after the excursion rather than follow us around, which we preferred anyway.

A Very Full Day - Manos was our driver for the day and was right on time picking us up from the Cruise Terminal. Our first stop was the Acropolis and the Parthenon. On the way to this amazing attraction Manos gave us some information about the areas we passed as well as history and things to be looking for at the Acropolis.We had downloaded the Rick Steves audio tour for the Acropolis which also helped in better understanding what we were looking at. Once we finished, we sent a text to Manos and he quickly picked us up by car. Our second stop was Ancient Agora of Athens and again Manos provided information about the city sites as well as some history about Ancient Agora. This was a very pleasant stop with fewer people and lots of shade. The Stoa (places of shopping) was a very nice replica. Once again, we texted Manos to let him know when finished. We had a car tour of Athens both the modern and the old city. We made a stop at the house of the President of Democracy (not to be confused with the Prime Minister) to watch the changing of the guards which was very interesting! Our next stop was lunch at a small cafe that served traditional Greek food. The food was delicious and plenty of it. Our final stop was the National Archaeological Museum which houses many pieces from all over Greece. Out of energy, Manos returned us to the cruise ship. Manos was an amazing guide/driver with a wonderful sense of humor!

The Best Athens Tour - Manos was an excellent tour guide. He was very friendly and was able to inform us about the sites we visited. There were only 4 people in our group so we were able to do a few things not listed on the tour. He loves to share hls knowledge about his city.
