Outstanding Private Tour and Guide - We had an absolutely fantastic private tour to Meteora with Ted of Athens Experiences. Due to an unexpected change of plans during our trip, we made a last-minute request for a tour to Meteora. We were grateful Ted was able to fit us into his schedule (literally overnight) -- and for his swift responses and excellent communication. He is professional, knowledgeable and fun! His van is pristine and comfortable. We were especially appreciative of Ted's accommodation and kindness in assisting my older son, who sprained his ankle earlier on our trip. This was the first time we booked tour services and drivers for an international trip, and I was a little nervous about how it would all go. Thankfully, we lucked out and met Ted! Not only did he take us to Meteora, but drove us to other locations (including a 3 am drop off at the airport), offering colorful commentary and entertaining retellings of relevant history to the places we traveled. And he even had outstanding restaurant recommendations, which resulted in us having a special meal at a Michelin star restaurant on our last night in Greece. My two sons (ages 17 and 19) and I couldn't have had a better trip to Greece -- and Ted was an important part in making our experience so awesome. Highly recommend Ted and Athens Experiences!
