My husband was skeptical - Theodore was amazing! He was patient with us and took his time explaining the sights. This was a great tour as it covered all of the highlights of Athens in a short period of time.

Highly recommend! - This tour company was great, and very accommodating. We had to switch to a larger vehicle because we had 8 people including a toddler, and they arranged it last minute. We were able to see all the sights we wanted in a short period of time, and my family was very happy! Highly recommend!

I will also say the guide and driver were very knowledgeable and i highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to get a personalized tour of Athens.

Athens in June. - Our driver Stelios come on-time, we visited the Acropolis and city sightseeing with drop-off at plaka for lunch break. Marcela remind to us to purchase the Acropolis tickets before our arrival which is helpful as we manage to get early morning tickets before the weather become too hot.

Nobody does it better - Pick up was friendly and on time. Our host could not do enough for us and treated us exceptionally well. Flexibility was key and we were given lots of options so the morning suited us exactly. The upshot was that we had the experience of our lifetimes and would not use any other company when visiting Athens.

Athens half day highlights tour - Excellent highlight tour of the major sights. Dennis is knowledgeable, friendly and very pleasant company. Note that he takes you around the city to each site (a huge time/comfort advantage), but doesn’t take you into the museums or archeological sites. Buy a combination entry pass ahead of time to skip the lines. The van was very comfortable. He pointed out a lot of additional buildings/places of interest, and had good advise for exploring Athens on our own after the tour. 10/10 would recommend Dennis as a private Athens guide!

Athens Drive Around - To start, our driver did an excellent job as a driver. Prompt, courteous and skilled at the wheel. The car was clean and comfortable. We drove by and stopped at several key sites, ate at a local restaurant and saw the changing of the guard. However, as it states buried in the description, you are not getting an “authorized” guide, rather a driver with “some knowledge” of Athens. We wanted someone who could accompany us and explain the associated history at each stop, especially at the Acropolis. So if you are looking for a guide with deep knowledge about Athens and its historical sites, SELECT ANOTHER PROVIDER. We didn’t catch the fine print buried in the description, and while we appreciated our driver’s skills and professionalism, we were surprised and disappointed that we did not get the historical context and insight we expected for the price..
