How to see Athens in a day! - This private tour was a great way to get around. We were able to spend as little or as much time as we wanted to at each site. My husband has some mobility issues and he could choose to get out of the vehicle or relax inside as the rest of us got out and explored. Our driver Demetrius was amazing and spoke excellent English, so communication was easy. He referred us to local restraints to eat that were great. We had such a good time with him laughing and enjoying our time together. The tour organizer George was also very accommodating. When we originally book we had five guest. Two of our friends surprised us and joined us on this trip. He was able to make our group 7 with ease and we were still very comfortable in our private Van. Great job and I would absolutely recommend this tour.

A Licensed Guide is a Must - Our group of 6 neighbors thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Our driver/guide “Nick” was on time, and showed us around Athens while providing detailed and interesting commentary along the way. He directed us to a local taverna with delicious tradition Al Greek food. The best part of the tour, however, was the time spent at the Parthenon and the Acropolis museum. We hired the optional licensed tour guide (and former archeologist) to guide us through these sites. It was the best 280 euros we ever spent. Eva was so knowledgeable, and an absolutely joy! While the cruise ship tourists were walking around with glazed-over eyes and number stickers on their shirts, we were getting all the personalized and detailed stories from Eva!

A perfect day in Athens - We had such a wonderful day in Athens! Our tour guide, Giannis was awesome! We were getting off of a cruise and he picked us up at the port and dropped us off at our hotel that evening. We got to see so many amazing g sites! The acropolis, the acropolis museum, Zeus temple, the stadium, the agora, etc. it was amazing! A perfect way to do a day in Athens! Giannis had so many interesting stories and facts about the sites we saw, we learned so much. He gave us tips about what to check out at each stop. He also stopped at an overlook of Piraeus before heading into Athens. We absolutely loved our day and would 100% recommend this tour to anyone!

Wonderful tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon and Museum - We had the pleasure of being on one of the classical Athens tours of the Parthenon followed by a tour of the new Acropolis Museum that’s located conveniently nearby. Both were conducted by a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. It was all topped off with a wonderful lunch at one of the tavernas in the vicinity. I would highly recommend Ancient Greece tours and transfers to any would be explorers that would love to see any part of the historically stunning country that Greece proved to be. Their professionalism and service was greatly appreciated.

Great way to see Athens in a day! - We enjoyed our tour. My husband and I would have preferred more time in the museum, but our kids would have rather skipped the museum - so our guide hit it perfectly for us.
