This tour is fantastic - Our driver was Babis and we felt so fortunate to have him. He showed up early at the cruise port, sign in hand, and kept in touch with me on what’s app. It was a perfect day of sightseeing with the tickets already purchased. The tour was capped off at the end with a delicious lunch. We were quite pleased and felt like we got a great bargain!

Private Athens Tour…Best Choice! - We were picked up at Piraeus Port by our private tour guide I believe his name was Jonathan. We saw many impressive sights in Athens…The President’s home, The Prime Minister’s home, The Parliament Building, The Changing of the Guard, The Acropolis, The Parthenon, The Temple of Zeus, The Stadium, and Ancient Agora. Jonathan took us up to the highest point in Athens called Mount Lycabettus. What an outstanding view of Athens! Additionally we stopped for our Greek lunch where we were treated to a lovely Greek salad with delicious fresh ingredients, a very filling gyro, and excellent baklava! A sightseeing private tour is the way to go and our guide took great care of us throughout the day!

Informative, interesting and safe - This was an amazing tour. The driver and tour guide Alexander was very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us a history of Greece and Greek mythology. He and the other guide Arepostle were patient and kind. Our daughter used a wheelchair and they were assisting us to get the special needs she has. Lunch was great too!

AMAZING Athens Tour - We had an amazing private, full day tour in Athens. Dimitris was a perfect host/guide. He took his time to share his knowledge of his city, history and culture. Made several stops between the Acroplis, Temple of Zues, Mount Lycabettus and the ancient Agora to share more about the history of Athens. Dimitris timed a perfect stop on a Sunday to see the changing of the guards at the Presidential Palace and the guards were in their dress uniforms.
Thank you Dimitris for a memorable day! We learned so much from you and you are a professional and passionate guide!

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.
