Nice way to see Athens - Odyssis (sp?) was there ready to pick us up. Easy to find. We had all seen the Acropolis on earlier visits so we asked him to take us to some spots off the beaten path. We saw the changing of the guards, the Olympic stadium among other sites. The best was taking the tram to the top of a mountain to see ALL OF ATHENS! It was amazing!! He was friendly, took pictures for us, stopped when we asked and even told several jokes. A good time had by all.

Great Activity! - Absolutely recommend this to see the best of Athens! He goes above and beyond for tours and is very knowledgeable of the history of Athens and surrounding areas! He was very accommodating to what we had already seen and showed us to the spots we hadn’t been yet. He even set up an authentic wine tour at Nikolou winery for us the next day since our boat tour was cancelled! Worth every penny!
