Great tour in Athens Greece . - We had a very courteous and knowledgeable driver/guide. We got to see the changing of the guards at the presidential residence. Also went to an open market place. Our driver stopped at points of interest. I really enjoyed the Acropolis Museum. That was the highlight of this tour.

Great Service, Great Value - We could not have asked for a better trip, we were picked up at the door of our motel, greeted with a smile. Our host was of the utmost professional and knew all the tricks of the trade to try to avoid the worst times to visit certain venues. Value for money was excellent and we would highly recommend to anyone looking to do a tour

A Delightful Day - Andres was absolutely wonderful. He was prompt in picking us up in his meticulous van.He was an absolute delight. Would highly recommend him. He loves his country. He has so much passion talking about his country.If you get a chance ask him to take you to The Poseidon Temple. It’s an hour out of Athens. It gives you a total new prospective of Athens.
