Best tour when short on time but want the Athens experience! - Great way to see all of Athens best highlights when short on time. Our guide, Elias did a wonderful job of explaining each one before we went into the site and very easy to understand!

Excellent half day tour - Driver was very knowledgeable and courteous. He went above and beyond to get us close to the sites as we had people in our group that are mobility challenged. Because of this people in our group were able to enjoy the Parthenon up close. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Athens highlights - This was the perfect way to make the most of our limited time in Athens, and a great way to transfer from cruise port to hotel. Panos communicated clearly thru Whatsapp. Gave good background of the sights. Being able to see the changing of the guards at the much less crowded President's home was much appreciated.

Great tour guide! - We had an excellent time on our tour. Our guide, Babis, was fantastic - extremely knowledgeable and courteous. He gave us a great tour of the sites in Athens, and also provided commentary on what Greek life is like. He had purchased tickets in advance so when we arrived at sites we were able to walk right in without waiting to buy a ticket. We opted for the half day tour and it was perfect for seeing the highlights - Acropolis, Temple of Zeus, etc.
