Great full day tour of Athens with Frank - We had a great day with Frank touring Athens. He took us to all the highlights and explained all about the history of this beautiful city. He was kind, professional and knew exactly where to go. Also took us to a favorite spot for lunch. He gave us options for stops along the way as well.

Short precruise visit with friends. - Very enjoyable city tour without the crowds. Our guide Helen, was excellent, extremely knowledgeable and fun. We accomplished more than what we had set out to do. The entire process from initial inquiry to the end exceeded our expectations. Kudos to Frank and his team.

Fantastic 8 hour private tour of Athens! - Our guide Kyriakos was a true professional and made it a once in a lifetime experience for my wife and I. He is knowledgeable, personable, and knew his around this somewhat challenging city. I can’t recommend this tour enough especially if you are lucky enough to get Kyriakos as your guide.

Athens in a Day - A wonderful experience in Athens. We learned so much and enjoyed all the interesting sites. We really saw the best of Athens. Our driver/tour guide was knowledgeable, gracious and accommodating. Our tour guide at the Acropolis was very educated about the site and associated history.

An excellent day in Athens - We were in the Mediterranean for two weeks and Jimmy was our favorite guide! He had a delightful sense of humor, was extremely well read and full of knowledge. He shared what he felt we needed to know, but did not overload us with information. He had us where we needed to be and made our visit to Athens extremely memorable. We highly recommend him! Jimmy is the best!
