Dinos is the best - Dimos was an excellent tour guide. He was professional and very knowledgable. I learned so much. He knew the history and showed us so much. It was truly an amazing day. It was like meeting a new friend When I return to Athens he will be the only travel guide I use. Once you have excellence why settle for anything else. He was a 15 out of 10. Great job

Fantastic from Start to Finish - This tour was fantastic. Very convenient as picked us up from our cruise boat in the morning and dropped us at our accommodation at the end of the tour - what to do with our bags taken care of. It was just my son and I with the driver so we had discretion and an air conditioned car to get into after viewing each attraction. The lunch that come as part of the tour was superb and we got to take the leftovers with us! Last but not least - our driver Achilles was wonderful and made the busy schedule of sight seeing a breeze.

Athens like a VIP!!! - This was a great experience to get a taste of the great parts of Athens! George was our driver and he was very professional. He did his best to tell us everything about each stop and things we drove past. His passion for his country rings through just as much as his joy in sharing it with us. We did a morning tour finishing with lunch at an amazing local fish restaurant. Having a dedicated driver to each place makes a huge difference! My only advice - after you book this tour go online to order your tickets for the Acropolis *not necessary just saves you waiting in the queue. And be hungry! The provided food is a large sampling of local cuisine.

Hail Achilles - Tried this excursion because we have a limited time in Athens, we are embarking on a cruise the following day. Our tour guide, ACHILLES picked us at our hotel 10 mins before our appointed time, nice start.He brought us to all the important landmarks and enthusiastically discussed important informations about the places we visited .After the tour we were treated to a delicious Greek dinner and was given a souvenir gift...If you want to have a private tour of Athens, riding in a late model Mercedes Benz , with a very patient , accommodating and knowledgeable tour guide plus sumptuous Greek dinner and a gift, I highly recommend this Tour, satisfaction guaranteed

Amazing day in Athens - Me and my wife came to Greece for our belated honeymoon Re covid restrictions and had the best tour ever with George ! He is a brilliant guide that knows his knowledge of this beautiful city and it history inside out. He took us around in style in a Merc and finished off with a lovely lunch and have us a couple gifts to remember the trip. We will definitely use his services again on our return to the most amazing city and country in the world and highly recommend him. Johnny and Lisa
