Perfect welcome to Greece - This 4-hour private tour of Athens was perfect for our family. From the moment we booked, the tour operator was in contact with information and support. They were available for any questions. They made it very easy to communicate and have what was needed without additional preparation or concern. My husband and I with our teenage daughters flew into Athens for a catamaran sailing tour, leaving Saturday afternoon. We arrived Friday morning after a long flight from the states. We had booked our hotel and evening early so we could go there and rest upon arrival. With this in mind, I booked the 5:30 PM private tour so that we could have a day of rest and then still get up and see Athens with the relatively little time that we had. An evening time was perfect for that reason, as well as the temperature went down a bit. Our tour guide, Babis, was fantastic. He arrived promptly and with great energy and hospitality. He explained the tour, and we told him what we were interested in. We knew we did not need four hours of sightseeing but preferred for him to find us a place for dinner for the last portion of our tour. Babis took us to all of the main attractions and gave us history and describe the sites as we went. We stopped to watch changing of the guards as well. He was available on our schedule so that when we didn’t want to stay for an allotted amount of time we simply sent him a text and he was there to pick us up quickly. It truly felt personalized and just what we needed . We saw the sites as listed in the booking. he also took us to a shopping area for the next day, so we knew where to go. He brought us to a lovely taverna with delicious food and ambience. We dined while he waited for us and then took us back to our hotel. He was knowledgeable, courteous, engaged, easy-going, and all-around enjoyable. It was a perfect beginning to our Greek island vacation. We highly recommend this tour and Babis as a guide.
