Perfect Two Days in Athens

Published on Dec, 2024

Had a perfect two days with Andreas taking our family of four throughout Athens. Andreas was a wonderful driver and guide, providing us with great insightful information. It was a pleasure talking with Andreas about history, culture, food, and family. Thank you Andreas.

A beautiful morning in Athens!

Published on Nov, 2024

We loved our trip with Andres! He recommended the best souvlaki place and was prompt with pickup and drop-offs and always clear with directions. He gave us some tips, information along the tour, and took us to so many beautiful spots. He had waters for us and the van was roomy and had great AC.

Fantastic experience

Published on Oct, 2024

The whole trip was memorable. Polite and friendly tour guide, and everything about the day was amazing. We were collected from our hotel and taken to all the major attractions in Athens before being taken back to our hotel. An outstanding tour.

A lot in a short period of time

Published on Oct, 2024

Even though our tour was only 1/2 day, Theodore did a fantastic job showing us all of Athens prominent attractions. His timing was impeccable, getting us to spots before big crowds arrived. The Acropolis was amazing and he made sure we saw the changing of the guard up close. Our only complaint is that we weren’t able to book a longer tour. Theodore was full of knowledge.

Worth the time and cost!

Published on Oct, 2024

In only a few hours we saw Athens with our knowledgeable guide, Nick. He was very pleasant and knew all about the history of the sights we visited. In his beautiful Mercedes we were driven around the city and got a look at not only the historical sights but a flavor of life in Athens. Thank you Nick!
