Great Tour with Colours of Greece and Ruslan - Great experience touring the major sites of Athens with Ruslan and Colours of Greece. He gave in-depth history of Athens and Greece, told us all the places to visit inside the sites. Dropped us right at the gates and picked up as soon as finished. Great communication throughout the process and including the tour itself. Truly was a great day. We got so much done in a short period of time. He knew the correct order to do sites to avoid crowds, etc. highly recommend…

Athens and acropolis - If u have mobility issues there is an elevator at acropolis and walkways are smooth to get around. Some paths are rocky but u don't need to go there to see everything

Great introduction to Athens! - This was a perfect experience for our first full day in Athens. Ruslan has a very warm personality. While there were the top sites to see, he asked us our interests at the outset and then made special stops on the way to the main points of interest based on us asking to see churches of interest. Ask him about the Orthodox Church dedicated to Saint Dionysius. It was definitely worth the visit. Ruslan was a wealth of knowledge on Greek history. He gave a lunch recommendation that was phenomenal. We highly recommend this company and tour!

OUTSTANDING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - OUTSTANDING!! Our guide Ruslan deserves 6 stars but for some reason I could only leave 4 star review. He was so incredibly informative and so knowledgeable about everything Greek. I have been to Athens twice before but I have never had an experience like this one. The car was impeccable and he could not do effort for us. Forget the rest go with the best. Ruslan thank you for a wonderful day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
