Great Tour - The tour was well-run and our driver, Vasilli, was very knowledgeable about Greek history and culture. I would separate the tour into two parts... the drive around Athens and seeing the important sites .. and the self-guided tour of the Parthenon. We also stopped at and toured the Tample of Zeus. Together, this made for a comprehensive and enjoyable tour... and being up close at the Parthenon was an extraordinary experience

Our phenomenal and enlightening morning! - Our driver/guide Manos was so much more than we could have hoped for. He was professional, knowledgeable, respectful, and warm, friendly, and courteous. His knowledge and his passion for Athens was astounding and presented in a thoughtful, yet enthusiastic way . We so enjoyed his personal presentation and vast knowledge of the mythological influences in the places we visited. His patience with our questions was truly appreciated. We had a phenomenal experience and were especially thrilled with our driver’s personality and graciousness. We can’t imagine a better experience. Thank you so much!

Awesome Athens with Manos! - This was an amazing tour because of our very knowledgeable and humorous guide, Manos. He was TRULY amazing! The highlights tour afforded us the best of Athens with easy logistics in a large, comfortable Mercedes vehicle. This tour was customized to our requests. Manos is a top-notch guide, who is not only extremely knowledgeable and kind, but passionate as well. He knew the best spots for photos of our family and to also experience things like Parliament's changing of the guard. We learned so much from him and HIGHLY recommend this tour!

PERFECTION!! - Our guide gave us exactly what we wanted!!!! We had one day to see it all, and he certainly filled it up with all the best sights. He had our tickets waiting for us, and had excellent communication. He even took us to his favorite local coffee shop to start the day!

Very Accomodating - Our guide Andreas was very good and personable. He picked us up on time in a clean, comfortable van. He went over our itinerary, explained to us that the Acropolis should be our first stop in order to beat the crowd, how right he was. As we were leaving the Acropolis, it started getting crowded. We stopped for a quick breakfast stop a delightful bakery cafe. As we continued the tour we told our guide we wanted to buy a book like he had so he took us to a shop with authentic Greek products.
This was a great tour and our guide Andreas was fabulous.

Not what I had hoped. - Not well organised. Got to Acropolis on time but tour had purchased tickets for later time so had to wait for 20min before we could enter. Drive by most of places. The Zeus temple was included in price but after the tour guy dropped passenger off without entry to Zeus Temple I requested why. A ticket was then purchased just for myself. I paid extra for pick and drop off, but ended up walking back to hotel.
