Perfect day - Our driver Spiros was professional, kind, thorough, knowledgeable. He arrived promptly to start our day. He shared some much current and historical information with us as we were driving. He was great with my ten year old son. We covered SO much. A beautiful and educational day in Athens! I would most certainly recommend!

Fantastic service from Fotis our driver. Professional, knowledgeable and courteous. - An excellent, less-stress way to experience the amazing, ancient history jewels in this vibrant city without the hassle of trying to navigate your way around in an unknown city, especially when short on time.

Great tour to see all the sites - Our tour and tour guide were great. We got to see all of the sites in Athens and not feel rushed. My only complaint was that the tour guide did not go into the sites with us to explain more.

Great tour - Great tour! We all enjoyed each of the stops, and felt like the tour was the perfect length to experience the city without exhausting oneself. Our tour guide, Costa, was extremely friendly and engaging. We all appreciated his flexibility, and his knowledge of both mythology and the city really added to the experience. Would recommend!

1/2 Tour of Athens - We had a lovely half day tour. Our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw all the major sights of Athens. The car was nice and clean and he provided cold water for us. We had lunch at a small restaurant in the market place. Dallas-very nice Greek lunch and then we saw a few more sights before he returned us to the hotel.
