Personalized Afternoon Visit To Athens - Giorgos responded to our interests with a perfect itinerary for the five hours we had with him. Having previously visited Athens twice before, we had already seen most of the primary sites. Following his suggestions, we were able to avoid repeating past visits and were able to explore places of which we had no prior knowledge. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.

Excellent driver in Athens - Michael - Our driver Michael who collected us from the airport in Athens was so great that we asked him to collect us the next day and drop us off for our cruise and then contacted him again when returning and he helped plan a great day out seeing all of the major Athenian sights and more! He was excellent at communicating, always keeping us informed of where he was and how and where to meet him! Highly recommend!

Excellent - Excellent service from Stavros. Got in touch before we left Milos to confirm pick up. Kept in touch with delayed ferry and pick up at v busy Piraeus. Suggested alternative plan which worked really well - leaving bags at left luggage near Acropolis. Thank you Stavros for making our short trip to Athens so easy.

Transit airport Athens - Very efficient the driver contacted us well before takeoff made sure of the arrival time of our flight to Athens. Received us on time, offered us bottles of water and dropped us off in front of our Pension. For the return arrived 10 minutes before the time. Perfect I recommend

Athens layover excursion is a must - This tour was the Best! I didn't know that layover tours existed until this one and it was great. We visited Acropolis, the basketball court of our favorite Milwaukee Buck Giannis Antetokounmpo, watched the changing of the guard at parliament, and more. I'll be looking for layover excursions from now on! No point in staying at the airport!

Absolutely brilliant service - This was a fantastic service. Our driver, Manos, was just excellent. Although he is not an official tour guide, he gave us so much interesting information and background along the drive. He was on time to pick us up from the port and took us to all the major sites - 5 hours flew past! We had misunderstood the instructions given and had not pre booked our tickets to the Acropolis and museum. Manos sent us links to do all this (the day before!) and was just so helpful. I cannot recommend this service more highly!

30 minutes of comfort! - 30 minutes of riding with extremely helpful, caring person like Giorgos is a dream of all of us, elder customers who use to take a risk and travel by themselves! Thank you all for wonderful service!!!

Disappointed. - Driving thru crowded streets. Mix up between driver and company when we would arrive, thereby cutting tour short.

No Show!! - We were left stranded as the company - Welcome Tours/Pickups - never showed up at the cruise arrival port as contracted and paid for! Viator should be VERY leary of contracting with this company. A full refund is expected.
