History lesson and transfers to hotel. - Long lines and big crowds. Acropolis was very busy and required lots of walking Driver was skilled and interesting. He was 100% on time at all our stops. Time shelf van for the 4 of us. Museum was worth the price but again long lines and big crowds. Worth the money as we were picked up at the cruise terminal, given the tour, stopped for lunch and got dropped off at our hotel. Well worth the price.

Great guided tour of Athens - Our driver and guide Ruslan was fantastic, very professional, really nice , good spoken English, spotless Mercedes Benz sedan. He was really polite, respectful, very friendly and provided us with a lot of important information about Athens, and the history and present of the Greek People . It was a 5 hour tour and we hit all the important spots in the city, and then he drove us back to our Hotel. I highly recommend Mr. Ruslan for your Athens private tour or to pick you at the port or the airport.

How to see the sights in Athens - Nik was fantastic! He was exactly on time and even picked us up at our hotel even though it wasn’t technically in their “zone”. Nik got us to the acropolis early and we did not have to wait in line. It’s amazing and worth seeing. He has excellent knowledge of the city, showed us things we would never have known about (like the parade for the changing of the guards at the Parliament). We were always driven to the closest entrance for all Athens highlights and he was there to retrieve us immediately after. He gave us detailed history and we spent a very pleasant long half day with him.

See More with a Private Driver. - Well worth doing this trip, no worries with transport around Athens and have the time to see all the sites. Our driver was very knowledgeable on the history of Athens. We got our driver to drop us to the New Museum and we had a lovely stroll back to our Hotel.

Highly recommend Rusian as a guide. - Rusian was great. He spoke very clear English and was flexible with the schedule. We had already seen a couple of spots on the list so he took us different places. The view from the highest point of Athens was spectacular. The changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier was unique.
