Aris saves the day! - We were looking forward to this tour but had a bit of bad luck getting it completed. My wife turned her ankle and we postponed a couple days and then I got the bug and they moved the tour a second time. I am so happy Aris showed up and gave us one heck of a cruise.He was truly knowledgeable and always there when we needed him. Without him sensing our needs, I don’t think I could have completed the tour. I thought the Acropolis would be our favorite spot, but the changing of the guard was mine. It is truly worth the money, especially if you only have a day. Thanks again Aris.

Wonderful Tour of Athens - We were picked up by Ari’s right on time. He welcomed us into his van and made us feel right at home.
Aris took us to see several sights around Athens and was very knowledgeable and funny.
We were all very happy with our tour and would definitely recommend using him for your time out in Athens!
He also recommended a terrific pizza place as some of our crew were homesick for some familiar food!! Haha

Best tour of Athens by far! The tour to take. - This was the most amazing experience. We had a wonderful time and learned so much. Aris was so knowledgeable, prompt, efficient, accommodating, fun and packed our tour with so much information. It was evident how much he loves his country and city…so refreshing. We enjoyed an authentic lunch at an out of the tourist area lunch spot-family owned and operated. He worked in a full day of all the sites in Athens. We loved the tour and him.

Albi and Aris are the best!! - I found Albi through a recommendation on Facebook and I was not disappointed! He helped plan our transfers to and from the airport and organized an amazing private tour for me and my friend. He called me a week before to confirm, and his kind, happy voice let me knew we were going to be in good hands.
Then we met Aris, and he was absolutely the best! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide as we navigated our way through Athens!
Thank you both for making our trip memorable!

Private tour with Aris - We took a day tour of Athens with Aris today. He was excellent and super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended! We learned a lot and we saw many, many things that we would have not be able to do on our own. He also helped us find great local restaurants. His van was comfortable, he gave us cold water and he was truly a pleasure to spend the day with! Thank you so much Aris!
