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.

Private Tour of Athens - Our tour guide, Manos, was very knowledgeable and informative. We enjoyed touring all the sites on a very private tour. Manos was kind and very professional. He was very passionate about his work and providing his knowledge of Athens history to us. Recommend using him.

Wonderful experience - Our driver was prompt, knew the area as well as history without fail. He navigated the city with ease, got us to sites with tickets before crowds, was attentive to my 8 year olds need to stop for breaks,kind, seemed to read the situations of when to lead and when to listen. Wonderful day. Saw so much, learned about Athens from a local in love with its history.

Wonderful experience! Don’t miss this tour! - This tour was the perfect ending to our 12 day Mediterranean vacation! Antonio, our guide, was knowledgeable, personable and accommodating to our group of 10 women. Our Greek lunch was one of the best meals we had in the Mediterranean. We would highly recommend this tour and Antonio our guide! We learned so much about Athens and each sight we visited. The day just flew by, and this tour was our favorite from our trip!

Great Athens day tour! - My husband and I spent one day in Athens after a cruise. Antonios picked us from the cruise port bright and early and brought us to all the must see attractions in Athens. He made the day very interesting with all of his knowledge about Greek history. Thank you for a wonderful tour!!

Not a feast for Greek Sojourn - The guide was great and enthusiastic. The views were amazing and yes we took lots of pictures. Was told guides do not go into places like Acropolis and while walking it with my significant other, I heard lots of guides speaking. The food location for lunch was very poor. Basically had a quick lunch eating next to many garbage cans while also being reminded of what was included and not included in the lunch. For the price paid, the lunch needs to be improved.
