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!

4 hr private tour Athens for aging parents! - Our guide Terry was extremely knowledgeable, personable, pleasant, accommodating on our tour of Athens. Highly suggest Terry/Olive Sea Travel for any tours of Athens! When we visit again, we hope to have/find Terry again!
Small glimpse of photos taken during our tour! Had to choose only a few!

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.

Great way to see Athens on limited time - thanks Alex! - Alex arrived on time at our hotel - a bit early actually - and my wife and and I got going right away with him. The Athens Marathon was going on the say of our tour - didn’t know that - so we had to improvise and accommodate a few changes, but it all worked out.
We visited Temple of Zeus, Olympic Stadium (walked there on our own b/c of marathon), Acropolis Hill, govt buildings, another hill with Church and great views, drove around city a bit, and ended where we requested. He dropped us off at the town square, near Hard Rock Cafe, and even made a suggestion for a “fairytale” dessert place (Little Kook - which we quite enjoyed).
Overall, he was nice, easy to understand, had water for us, opened doors and made sure we were safe, and provided a great time. It wasn’t a cheap option, but with limited time in Athens, it was a worthwhile way to see the major sites in the city.

Wonderful - Amazing personal tour. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and personable. Transportation was comfortable and the stops were incredible. We had seen the acropolis so he took us to another museum and modified the tour for us. The lunch spot he took us to was amazing and the best food we had while we were here in Greece. Highly recommend!

A great ride with a great driver! - The driver Panos arrived at the hotel at exactly the appointed time. Fresh and clean car. Then we went on the tour. We started by going up to the Acropolis. Once there, he explained and told me a lot about it. With a lot of information about the Acropolis, we went exploring. Amazing place. After we strolled around and saw everything we wanted and everything he said we would see, we went to the next place, the Temple of Zeus. After we walked around and looked there, he drove us up to a viewpoint and then around here and there, among other things, on a changing of the guard. After that we finished at the Olympic Stadium. A great tour with a great and nice driver, who was very good at English!

4 Hour Athens Private Tour. - We were picked up by our driver Jonathan on time right at the port. We wanted coffee so he stopped at a great little coffee shop pretty close to the port. He then took us to the Acropolis and since my mom struggles with walking he drove us up the hill to the entrance. The elevators were not working at the Acropolis but my mom with her cane made it up the top. We made 3-4 other stops ( Where we got out) to include the Arch of Hadrian, Temple of Zeus, Changing of the guards, and Olympic Stadium and highest point best for pictures. There were many other buildings we drove by while our guide told us the history of the area. Jonathan timed our trip perfectly to ensure we got to see the changing of the guards which happens every hour just as they came down to street. It was a great overview of Athens and 4 hours is perfect. It was enough to see what you needed to see. You do tour each place on your own but are given history of each location before arriving. We laughed alot during our 4 hours. We would recommend this tour.

Misleading Tour Description, But Nice Driver - IMPORTANT NOTE: This is NOT a true guided tour. Our driver was very friendly and the vehicle was comfortable, but he did NOT accompany us into the Acropolis or the Temple of Zeus. He simply drove us to the sites and provided basic historical background information (some of which was inaccurate). Note that by booking this tour, you are simply booking a private driver for half a day who will provide advance tickets to the two sites.
