Personalized Afternoon Visit To Athens

Published on Oct, 2024

Giorgos responded to our interests with a perfect itinerary for the five hours we had with him. Having previously visited Athens twice before, we had already seen most of the primary sites. Following his suggestions, we were able to avoid repeating past visits and were able to explore places of which we had no prior knowledge. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.

Excellent driver in Athens - Michael

Published on Oct, 2024

Our driver Michael who collected us from the airport in Athens was so great that we asked him to collect us the next day and drop us off for our cruise and then contacted him again when returning and he helped plan a great day out seeing all of the major Athenian sights and more! He was excellent at communicating, always keeping us informed of where he was and how and where to meet him! Highly recommend!

Excellent

Published on Sep, 2024

Excellent service from Stavros. Got in touch before we left Milos to confirm pick up. Kept in touch with delayed ferry and pick up at v busy Piraeus. Suggested alternative plan which worked really well - leaving bags at left luggage near Acropolis. Thank you Stavros for making our short trip to Athens so easy.

Athens layover excursion is a must

Published on Jul, 2024

This tour was the Best! I didn't know that layover tours existed until this one and it was great. We visited Acropolis, the basketball court of our favorite Milwaukee Buck Giannis Antetokounmpo, watched the changing of the guard at parliament, and more. I'll be looking for layover excursions from now on! No point in staying at the airport!

Absolutely brilliant service

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a fantastic service. Our driver, Manos, was just excellent. Although he is not an official tour guide, he gave us so much interesting information and background along the drive. He was on time to pick us up from the port and took us to all the major sites - 5 hours flew past! We had misunderstood the instructions given and had not pre booked our tickets to the Acropolis and museum. Manos sent us links to do all this (the day before!) and was just so helpful. I cannot recommend this service more highly!
