Athens amazing tour - Stavros was great, friendly and very informative. Everything about this tour was memorable. Stavros did a very good job of getting us to many points of interest, he delivered an abundance of colorful and historical information during the tour. Big plus is a very nice new comfortable Tesla.

Experience Athens in Comfort - We were picked up in a comfortable car. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the history of Athens. He drove us to different areas of Athens and before we got out to see different sites he gave us the history of the area. We had bought our combo tickets before arriving in Athens online (the tour operator will give you the website to buy those). The tour operator drove us to each stop and we just had to message him when we were done and he picked us up immediately. Very good tour.

Very good tour of Athens sights - We saw a lot of great sights around Athens. Panagiotis was our driver and he was very knowledgeable of the history and very accommodating. Definitely enjoyed our tour. It was all self guided and we had bought our combo ticket for several of our stops before arriving. I had messaged the tour operator before the trip and Stavros was a lot of help.

Best Athens excursion; one not to be missed!!! - What a fantastic half day my tour guide Stavros picked me up at the port literally as I stepped off the ship and took me on an amazing journey. Even though I am slightly disabled with arthritic knees and cannot climb all these steps to these fabulous historical sites, he was able to get me as close as possible, and then customize the trip to make up for the time I might have spent climbing by taking me to all the interesting and unique and off the beaten path, locations places, I’d never even thought to consider For example, he took me to the parliament building to watch the changing of the guard and it was beautiful and fascinating and nothing I ever heard about or seen offered on any excursion such a treat. He also took me to the coast line so I could see the beautiful homes and apartments there and see the beach that you don’t see in the center of town . For those who may be considering getting off the ship or even just traveling to Athens by a plane and looking for a unique experience that takes into account all physical abilities, I cannot recommend Stavros enough. He was amazing and he made this port the very best that it could be.

Great tour around Athens in a Tesla - Excellent service from our driver Stavos. He took us to explore some of the main destination sites in Athens, really enjoyable with Tesla too. We had such great time, can't thank Stavros enough, really recommended. 我们的司机兼导游Stavos带着我们一家人游历了在雅典的一些主要景点,即高效又有趣。全程坐在特斯拉车里游雅典超级舒适。非常推荐这个行程。

The Best Athens tour ever! - Stavros is a fantastic tour guide! He helped us to experience Athens authentically and comfortably on a very hot July day. He contacted us beforehand and helped us to arrange the perfect itinerary. We could never have done this alone. He was knowledgeable, personable and punctual. We highly recommend this experience!

A great day in Athens - Awesome time with Stavros who took us around all the key areas of Athens. We traveled in a well presented clean Tesla with great air conditioning. We got to see much more than we would trying to do on our own, the experience of Stavros saved us lots of time and his knowledge was great.
