Friendly and Very Professional Experience - We had a wonderful time on our private 4 hour tour with Stephanos. Even before we met him, his communication was fantastic- he called us the day before to go over pick up, timing and itinerary. He was on time always. The best part was his friendly personality. His English was superb! He gave us helpful tips about getting tickets in advance, pointed out areas as we drove, took us to all the important points, took photographs for us and in general, gave us a very memorable positive and safe experience of Athens! We bought us cold water as well, which was very nice. Highly recommend!

Pedros the Great - Pedros was amazing, funny, considerate, and informative during our half day tour. We felt like he was family and would definitely request him, if possible. By the way, September is a perfect time to go, when there are less crowds. Thank you.

Outstanding service from Panos - Panos our guide was excellent and provided a 5 star service. He picked 6 of us up direct from the cruise ship, greeted us with water and ensured our luggage was secure in the van for the day. After the tour he took us to the airport for our flight home. His tour was excellent, his knowledge of Athens was amazing and his sense of humour made the journey more enjoyable. In addition, his English was outstanding. He was a lovely guy who looked after us well and gave us a great look at the best of Athens. Thank you Panos.

Best City tour for Athens - It’s very rare to come across a guide in a foreign country who is not following the standard tour itinerary but instead customising or rather optimising it along the way by realising the needs of a family. We recently had a great experience touring the city of Athens with Vagelis. Traveling with 2 kids (7 yr and 1.5 yr old) , me and my wife were quite overwhelmed on our day 1 in Athens with all the kids tantrums from morning and the day before (after landing in Athens post a long day of travel, lack of proper sleep and kids just getting adjusted to a new time zone). Vagelis sensed that and instantly made us comfortable by making valuable suggestions how to best utilise the time at hand , the must do locations and how to see them in a way that would be comfortable for the kids and therefore us. Right from the start he made us feel comfortable by allowing us some time to settle in, ask questions, played the music of choice for my daughters, joked with them and everyone just felt easy in the car. The mood and vibe was nice and there was no pressure of following a set itinerary. We made several unscheduled and out of the way stops to buy sme small stuff we needed, stopped over at some really good shops (unscheduled and not on the plan but Vagelis helped) to buy some essential items, tasted authentic coffee and some nice milk shakes for kids from a damn good Greek bakery in the plaka area. At the same time visited all the must-do attractions and still finished our tour in time. Vagelis was a thorough gentleman and most importantly for us he didn’t get annoyed with my kids constant “I want this, I want that, crying, shouting, fighting” and didn’t put any pressure on us. towards the end of the tour both my daughters were high fiving him, saying nice good byes and the mood of the family was quite nice and happy (pretty opposite of what it was when the tour began in the morning). Would definitely recommend this for anyone wanting to explore Athens in a chilled out and more enjoyable way.

Absolutely amazing. Very memorable - Vargelis Nastas with Transfer to Athens is the absolute best tour guide in Athens. He made sure my wife and I had an amazing visit seeing the incredible historical sites during our vacation. He was extremely professional and very polite. I strongly encourage and highly recommend using him and his company!

Fantastic Personalized Tour with a Local Guide - Fantastic tour! Our guide communicated with us beforehand, and asked what we were interested in seeing the next day. Tour began with an overview of the city and the sites for the day, and then we stopped at various archaeological sites, where we had the chance to explore on our own and then return to our guide for the next stop. Along the way, our guide shared information about various landmarks, layout of the city, and life in Athens. He provided us with excellent restaurant and sightseeing recommendations for the rest of our trip. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone hoping to see a lot of Athens in a short time, and have the experience of being shown the city by a local guide! Thank you for an amazing tour!
