Wonderful tour of Athens with Andreas - Scheduling was easy. We lucked out by having Andreas as our driving. We felt like we were visiting a friend and received the most wonderful tour and history of Athens and all the sights. I highly recommend and if possible request Andreas Rouchotas. The history of the changing of the guards was a highlight as well as the tour or the Olympic stadium. And I mean, come on, it’s the Acropolis.

Splendid Tour of Athens! - Our driver, Andreas, was prompt, punctual and professional. At the same time he was very knowledgeable, providing us with background information regarding Athenian culture and history. AND... all that while negotiating hectic Athens traffic! (Safely!!! Without any stress! An amazing feat in itself!) He procured tickets to the Acropolis for us and knew just where to let us off for best access to the park. Another highlight was the Changing of the Guard at the Presidential Palace. Again, Andreas knew just where and when to be there and imparted an insider's perspective to the time-honored ceremony. In our fast-paced world, we are often moving too quickly to take the time to appreciate the symbolism and deeper cultural significance of these types of traditions. We wandered the Varvakios Central Municipal Market and strolled the shops along Athinas, gathering figs and dates and souvenirs for the folks back home. We made our rendezvous at Monastiraki Square where Andreas was waiting with chilled water and a refreshingly air-conditioned Mercedes! A half-day is not nearly enough time to take in the full spectrum of Athenian culture and history. We were in town for four days and wish we could have spent ALL of them with Andreas! GAT and Andreas helped make our Greek sojourn a memory of a lifetime! Efkharisto, poli, Andreas! 😎💛

Classic Athens Tour! - Andreas was prompt, accommodating polite and professional. He had a great sense of humor as well. His account of the country's history was presented with the enthusiasm of a learned and passionate University professor. Seeing the sites in his air conditioned vehicle was imperative for me given that my Oregonian blood was not used to the heat of Athens in the Summer. Experiencing the Acropolis, in many ways, was like stepping back in time. The "throngs" of people did slightly diminish the individual experience though still worth the time and effort. We witnessed the Changing of the Guard at the Presidential Palace which was quite a magestic experience. Andreas' knowledge on the timing and the optimum location to view the event was indispensable. Overall I would highly recommend this experience. If you are considering this and not quite sure, by all means, treat yourself and be sure to request Andreas.

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.
