Wonderful tour - We totally enjoyed our tour. Manos was our driver and he filled us in on the history of each historical area. The changing of the guard was very nice and he directed us to a place to stand where we got great pictures. We skipped the museums and chose to walk in Plaka. Manos was very personable and a great driver. Highly recommend this tour.

Manos was the best host possible for our first day in Athens! - My husband and I are visiting Greece for the first time and selected this tour for our first day based on the great reviews and our desire to ensure we saw some of the most historical landmarks in Athens. We were not disappointed by our decision to use this company. We were part of a smaller group of individuals and our driver, Manos, could not have been a more qualified host. He had a great demeanor and made us feel very welcomed from the second we met him. Manos kept us informed throughout the entire process and made sure we had ample time at every one of our stops. In addition, he gave us the perfect recommendation on where to watch the Changing of the Guard! All of our stops were well laid out and we somehow managed to stay 2 steps ahead of much larger crowds coming just behind us throughout the day. Lunch was also included in our tour and the food was delicious! I can’t remember the name of the restaurant but we had an amazing meal complete with Gyros and baklava! There was nothing at all missing from the entire day and both my husband and I would definitely recommend this tour and the company that runs it to all of our family and friends!!

Awesome tour - Manos, our tour guide, provided an awesome tour. He was very knowledgeable about all things Athens and was very friendly and personable. He made sure to take us to the best viewing places for the stops that were on our itinerary. He was flexible with the amount of time to spend at each stop, but his suggested times were right on and we didn’t need to make any adjustments. He took great care of us!

Best Tour of Athens/Our Best Tour in Europe - Antonis was an excellent tour guide. We were with him from 8 am to 6 pm. The whole time, he gave us facts, answered our questions, and made conversation. Each of the places we visited we had the perfect amount of time to get out, see everything we wanted to, and get back. He always parked in the most convenient places and anything we wanted to see, he made sure we saw. The lunch was OUTSTANDING. The best we had in Greece.
This was easily the best tour we had on our two-week European vacation. We recommend it VERY highly.

A should not miss. - Antony was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative and patient. The tour was fine in a way where all walking and heavy walking was done early and able to have leisure time at the end of the day. I extremely enjoyed the tour.

Driver to front of venue. Do not expect a tour inside to tell you what your looking at or any history - Our tour driver Mani was very kind, funny, energetic. However we were expecting someone to give us a tour of the building and not just drop us off and tell us to be back in 1 hr. He did not come to the ruins with us to explain anything. He was literally our driver to front of venues. Also, hotel pick up at your hotel is NOT INCLUDED
