Top Notch Athens Experience - Our excursion through Athens was first rate! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the area. He knew exactly where to drop us off and pick us up so we had the best experience. He even made sure we saw and experienced things in Athens that he knew were important to create the perfect memory of Athens. Every moment of this excursion was thoughtfully planned. I highly recommend booking this trip through Athens!

Excellent---book with CONFIDENCE - We had an amazing time. Leo was wonderful....I contacted the tour operator (Mr. George) because we were able to get off the boat 30 minutes early. Leo came early! His English is excellent and he is really funny. The vehicle was nice and clean.
I was very stressed about a language barrier and email Mr. George about 20 times. He always answered back and was very kind to me. Would book any tour with him and his staff.

Great experience - Our tour guide was George and we had a wonderful time on our tour. We saw the best parts of Athens and since we had bought a ticket online beforehand for the Acropolis we skipped the queue. George was incredibly informative and showed us all the smaller equally beautiful areas as well. Overall we had a great time and would definitely reccomend this tour to anyone wanting to see all the highlights in Athens.

Quick Overview of Athens - Leo picked us up early at our hotel. The minivan was in excellent condition and very comfortable for our group of eight senior adults.
Acropolis is a lot of walking and steps so one of our party couldn’t partake. The communication prior was excellent however our driver wasn’t aware of these conversations so some confusion as we had already purchased tickets for a specific time for the eight of us for Acropolis (the line to purchase was crazy, buy in advance).
Leo was an excellent driver as traffic was nuts. Thank you Leo for returning to drop off something we left in the van🤗❤️.

The tour was Ok - We were not able to visit Acropolis because we didn't have the entrance tickets. We only visited the temple and had city tour and the bazaar. After lunch we were sent to the airport. The driver was nice but asked for Euro 80 to take us to the sirport.
