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.

A must do! - We had some time between getting off our cruise and our flight in the afternoon, so we we’re so happy to find Ilias and his tour! Our luggage was kept safe in the car so we didn’t have to drag it from place to place, and Ilias had great ideas on what to show us! We saw Hadrian’s Gate, The Temple of Zeus, the olympic stadium, the changing of the guards, the highest point in Athens, and we had some time to shop. We decided to skip the Acropolis as we had already seen it on a previous trip, but there was time to do that too. Ilias gave us a lot of insight on the history and current culture of Greece. He was super friendly and we had so much fun! We’d definitely book another tour with Ilias and would recommend the tour to anyone looking for a good, private tour around Athens!

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.
