Athens in a day - could not ask for more! - Andreas met us at our hotel promptly at 9am and from the very first moment feeling his energy and passion - we knew our day ahead would be fabulous! As a local living in the heart of Athens, we loved how Andreas helped us to see not only the historic sites, but also sharing about his personal experience with the local insights. Having the pre-arranged tickets saved a ton of time and we were given excellent instructions on how to navigate each site at our own pace. Plenty of water and a beautiful air conditioned car navigated by Andreas bypassing the congestion was appreciated. A traditional lunch was included which was plentiful and peaceful. We could not have hoped for any better way to take in the highlights of Athens in a more comfortable, relaxing, perfectly paced and most impressively - personable way then spending the day with Andeas.

Enjoyable Tour of Athens - Yianis our guide was delightful and made our tour of Athens memorable. We saw a lot of Athens and Yianis was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Would recommend to a group looking to skip the lines and see the best sights in Athens from a comfortable bus with air conditioning.

Fantastic Athens Tour - Absolutely fantastic tour. Our guide Johnathan was knowledgeable and friendly, well prepared and right on time. We had the full day Athens tour and got rhe sunset Sounia tour as a bonus the evening before. Saw all the big sights at our own pace with plenty of time for photos, breaks, lunch/dinner.

Great experience - This tour takes you to the best highlights of Athens. Having a private car is so worth it and Giannis was an incredible guide. Extremely knowledgeable and a great driver in the tight street of Athens. Best part of the trip was the lunch. Best Gyro I’ve had. Highly recommend

Highly Recommend Olive Sea Travel & Antony - Antony was an excellent tour guide - extraordinarily knowledgeable, very passionate about the historical significance of the sites, was very accommodating to our needs (and all of my questions!), remained communicative/clear throughout, and made a great recommendation for lunch after the tour. I would highly recommend Antony to anyone interested in optimizing their time/experience in Athens.
