Perfect family day in Athens - We had an amazing day in Athens with Anthony G. We started the day at the temple of Zeus, then Olympic stadium and then the Acropolis. Anthony was amazing at explaining the sites and showing us before and after images. With six kids in our group, we needed a break after the sights and Anthony took us to the most amazing restaurant for lunch, then finished at a bakery for treats. The perfect day in Athens!

Book this for Athens!! You won’t regret it - What an incredible day!! We absolutely loved our full day private tour with Babis. He was a thoughtful and kind man, who was very knowledgeable about the city, it’s history, and it’s places to visit. He drove us to every location and had our tickets pre-purchased so we never waited in any lines. He allowed us to stay as long as we wanted at each site and had cold water bottles waiting for us at the car every time we came back from exploring. You could really tell he loved the city and it made the experience even more special for my husband and I. The sunset at Sounio was SPECTACULAR and the drive to it was gorgeous. The day was absolutely perfect!

Highly recommend - We booked this tour rather than the cruise line one and we were thrilled we did!! Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and we felt safe in his hands as we drove through the streets of Athens to the various highlight locations. He provided us with helpful information and gave us the time to walk around and take plenty of photographs. He also showed us places, changing of the guards etc. I can not recommend him enough!

Cape Sounio, Temple of Poseidon, and Lake Vouliagmeni Tour - Our last day on our first trip to Greece was spent on a day tour that covered some Athens highlights, Cape Sounio, and the Temple of Poseidon, as well as a stop at Lake Vouliagmeni. While all of these sites were remarkable in their beauty, it was all made better by our knowledgeable and accommodating guide, Alexander. He was a delight and helped make our last day on vacation a memorable one. Whatever he is being paid, is not enough. While Greece boasts many impressive sites, the views of the Aegean Sea from the Poseidon Temple are unmatched. Alexander ensured we got the best table at a local seaside restaurant before going to the temple. The atmosphere and the food were perfect. Lake Vouliagmeni is also a must-do when visiting Athens. The unique water, home to fish that will gently nibble your toes, is so calm and relaxing. When we wanted a bit more time there, Alexander was very accommodating and worked around our schedule. We would highly recommend this tour and Alexander as your guide. What a great end to an already amazing trip.

Best way to see highlights of Athens in a day! - Wonderful start to our vacation. Saw so many sites in Athens in just one day! Our tour guide, Manos was incredible. He made accommodations to the schedule with ease. He was so knowledgeable, personable and funny. His passion and love for mythology, Athens and Greece was evident and made the tour so much fun. We went away learning a great deal of mythology and Greek history. We hope to be able to have Manos again. Best tour guide ever!
