Excellent Tour! - Giannas was the best driver and guide for our tour today! We had a few hiccups (out of anyone's control, bus stuck, Israel protests, and unusual traffic. He was awesome at navigating us around things and still showing us all the amazing sites and giving us the stories of Athens! We ended our tour with the best Greek Dinning restaurant!
** HIGHLY RECOMMEND **

Day tour of athens - Dimitrios was a great guide, showing us some of the hidden gems of the city. The highlight for me was definitely the food, as he took us by a local pastry shop and souvlaki restaurant that no tourist would be able to find. Highly recommended

Amazing Athens - Dimitris took us to a local restaurant for a very tasty lunch. We ate really good gyros and souvlaki. He ordered for us the best iced coffee and cappuccino’s that were perfect for such a hot summer day. Dimitris was very attentive and informative and funny.

Great overview tour of Athens and private driver Manos was Excellent - This was a great half day tour after arriving from a long flight to get the highlights of Athens. Our driver Manos was EXCELLENT!!! He was on time to pick us up at the hotel . He was an excellent driver. He asked us what we were interested in and then got us around to all the sights we wanted to see, including getting us to the "Changing of the Guard" just as it was happening. He gave us alot of information without overwhelming us with facts and data.
Although he was only scheduled to give us this tour, when he found out we had a tour the next day to Corinth, he rearranged his schedule to be our tour guide/driver the next day too. Later in the week when we were on the cruise ship, we gave his name to fellow passengers who were looking for a reference when they got off in Athens. This is a great tour and was only made better by the tour guide Manos.
