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!

Drivers so friendly and helpful. I’ve never used pick up services before but this is the way forward for me. I cannot recommend this company enough to any travellers.

Layover tour in Athens - We had an 8 hr layover. Picked up at the airport, went to the Temple of Artemis and then the Temple of Poseidon and stopped for a quick lunch before returning to the airport. Our guide, Dimitris Spyropoulos was fantastic!!!!!!

Excellent introduction to Athens - Andreas was excellent—he was friendly and knowledgeable! He put together a great itinerary, and he was also flexible to any requests. I really got to see the highlights of the city in the short time I had.

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

Unreliable service - We booked and paid for our pick up with this company a few weeks before we were due to visit Athens and received confirmation. However once we had landed we received a text message informing us that ‘ Sorry we have no drivers available today, apologies we will refund your money in the future’. We lost £3 on the refund for some reason? For information the cab we picked up outside of the airport was comparable with the Welcome
pickups price.
