A great tour, whether you’re a runner or not. - We had a very enjoyable day with Manos. He was very knowledgeable and informative about the Battle of Marathon, the modern Marathon, and local culture in general. He picked us up on time, gave us plenty of time at each of our stops, and was flexible with our itinerary - letting us drop a planned stop and add an unplanned stop.

A wonderful 6 hour, fully... - A wonderful 6 hour, fully customizable private tour with our driver Eirini. She picked us up at the cruise port exactly on time and took us to see only the parts of Marathon and the Marathon course that interested us. Eirini was a terrific guide. We went to the Marathon start line, the Running museum, the Olympic stadium where the marathon finishes, and stopped at the Athens library to see the winners cup from the first actual Athens Marathon. We then were dropped at a beautiful seaside tavern for a delicious lunch before being dropped at the airport for our evening flight out. A great way to spend the day and Eirini is a great person to get to know. Highly recommended.

Amazing tour with Giorgos, could not recommend more! - We booked a tour with Giorgos during our stay in Athens, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. He picked us up right where we were staying in the city and drove us to Marathon, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. Our day began with a stop at a wonderful local coffee shop, where he treated us to coffee and snacks—an unexpected but much-appreciated gesture that set the perfect tone for the rest of the tour. From there, he guided us through an incredible journey: visiting the Marathon Lake and Dam, the Marathon Running Museum, the Battle of Marathon Museum, and finally, the very plain where the legendary battle took place. At each stop, he shared fascinating history and context that really enriched our understanding and made the sites come alive. He was communicative, punctual, friendly, and attentive throughout, making us feel both comfortable and informed. We truly enjoyed our time with him and highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the history and spirit of Marathon in a personal and meaningful way.

Good tour for runners and history fans - Our guide was informative and also curious. We loved hearing about Athens history and telling him our marathon stories. He never rushed us and found us a very nice snack/meal. The starting line for the marathon was humbling. The race museum was awesome with history and something for about every nationality.

Ultimate experience with Manos . A lovely and pleasant driver guide - It's always very nice to visit the places you ve heard so many times but never saw in person. The most amazing surprise was Manos Grizas , not only he welcomed us with bagels and bottled waters but he was amazing on explaining to us all the history behind the highlights. We rode on a journey passing through different ages . Highly recommended
