Exactly what we paid for - This service was worth every penny we paid. The streets of Athens are very confusing for a first time visitor, but our driver was an expert. He drove us to the changing of the guards and the adjacent gardens, the old Olympic Stadium, the Acropolis, the Agora, and the entry to the Temple to Zeus, delivering us safely back to our hotel. He shared knowledge of Greek history, was friendly and took care to drop us off as close to the entrance to these sites as possible. This was a perfect intro to Athens. Would highly recommend for a novice visitor to Athens.

Private 1/2 Day Ancient Agora & Acropolis with Iris…. - Private 1/2 Day Ancient Agora & Acropolis with Iris…. Iris was incredible! We enjoyed our tour so very much! At dinner everyone from our 10 person group commented how much they enjoyed how she mixed the facts, with the mythology, with stories, with language, with archeology….to create beautiful pictures of how Greece has risen and fallen and risen over and over again. It was very relatable for everyone from age 14 to 76. She was also very attentive to the needs and pace of everyone involved. Thank you Dionisis for setting up the tour, start to finish! Every response was very quick and he even answered the phone immediately on the morning of the tour when we were confused about the meeting point…Ancient Agora and Roman Agora are different places, btw. Ha! Thank you to Iris for your time and knowledge today! 4 of the best hours we have spent in Athens so far!

A Wonderful Tour - Everything about our tour was as expected based on our conversations with the company. The driver showed up on time and we told him the adjustments we wanted to make to the standard tour and he explained how he would work them in. The driver spoke excellent English, which made our trip much more enjoyable. We saw everything we wanted to see. I would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful transfer and tour service in Athens! - I worked with Dionisis in the planning stage. He was great to deal with - professional, responsive, flexible and honest. I really appreciate the real time help he gave me securing the advance tickets to the Parthenon! We were delighted by the tour Thomas gave us! Thomas met us at the airport, helped us with our bags and was very professional. The minivan was spacious, comfortable and clean. We started the tour with a visit to the Plaka area where we strolled and had some delicious coffee. Since we had timed tickets for the Parthenon, we headed over at the appropriate time. Seeing the Parthenon was our main goal of the tour and it was amazing! Thomas drove us around the city some more and it was fascinating. There was a protest of some sort going on in the city, and a couple of the places he had planned to show us were inaccessible. Thomas was very conscious of our time constraints. He seemed to feel bad that he could not show us more. We live in Chicago so we understood - getting around a big city comes with lots of surprises. He got us to our cruise ship in plenty of time and made the start of our adventures in Greece wonderful! We also appreciated the transfer service to the airport provided by Vassimo on our last day. He was prompt for our very early pickup time, helped with the bags, and the minivan was spacious and clean, with water and WiFi. It was a good thing it went so smoothly because the airport got very crowded just a half hour after we arrived. Saved us a lot of worry, as we got there early enough to skip the worst of the lines. Dionisis and both drivers were wonderful to deal with. They made the start and the end of our trip so smooth and enjoyable!

An all-around great experience! - The tour was fabulous! Our driver spoke perfect English and was extremely knowledgeable not just about the obvious tourist sites, but also Greek culture, history and politics in general.

Great Service - We were picked up on time by Tomas in a Mercedes limousine. He spoke good English and drove us very competently from sight to sight. I'd be happy to.

Wonderful 1/2 Day Tour of Athens - My wife and I discovered this company online from the States. Booked the 1/2 day tour with a driver and guide. Dionisis advised us how to purchase tickets for the Acropolis and Museum and what times to get before arriving in Athens. We were picked up at our hotel and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend having a guide in addition to a driver as driver cannot accompany you into the sites and museum. Our guide was terrific and walked us through the sites and museums which can be overwhelming. Guide made sure we saw the most important parts of the Acropolis and significant exhibits at the museum. Driver was also terrific. This tour was a top hgihlight of our trip.

Nice tour - You need to buy tickets before arriving in Athens otherwise only the museum is available. There are many steps to get to the top of the acropolis so wear comfortable shoes.
