Athens in a day - It was an amazing experience. This is a perfect tour if you want to experience all of Athens. Our driver and tour guide Stefanos Malatos was so kind professional and knowledgeable. He took us everywhere and provided important historical facts. The car was comfortable and air conditioned.

Excellent Day in Athens - Fodis was a fantastic guide/driver! He drove us to the Acropolis, Parthenon, Temple of Athena Nike, The Roman Agora, Temple di Zeus, and Panatheaic Stadium. He was very knowledgeable and explained the history, gossip and stories of the ancient citadel. He then took us around the coast line and stopped at a local lunch spot on the water. They served us their local cuisine that included tzatziki, spicy cheese, fried zucchini, a Greek salad, a mashed garlic dip, freshly caught fish and octopus 🐙!! We, including both kiddos, really enjoyed the octopus. After lunch, we visited the Temple of Poseidon, which was our favorite stop of the entire day. The Mercedes Sprinter was spacious, clean and had a cooler with more than enough water! This was a perfect day.

Best one day tour! - Was amazing! Our driver Pinos was awesome! Our private guide Matina was super knowledgeable. Could not have done or seen all this on our own. Thankful since we only had one day. Choose second part of tour to do early. Which gave us the entire site to ourselves. Was magical. I would totally suggest this form of seeing Athens if you only have a day. You skip the lines. You get all the history, they make sure you see it all. Plus lunch was the best! Thank you to a great team of professionals. Thanks again to Pinos and Matina.

Perfect family day in Athens - We had an amazing day in Athens with Anthony G. We started the day at the temple of Zeus, then Olympic stadium and then the Acropolis. Anthony was amazing at explaining the sites and showing us before and after images. With six kids in our group, we needed a break after the sights and Anthony took us to the most amazing restaurant for lunch, then finished at a bakery for treats. The perfect day in Athens!

Book this for Athens!! You won’t regret it - What an incredible day!! We absolutely loved our full day private tour with Babis. He was a thoughtful and kind man, who was very knowledgeable about the city, it’s history, and it’s places to visit. He drove us to every location and had our tickets pre-purchased so we never waited in any lines. He allowed us to stay as long as we wanted at each site and had cold water bottles waiting for us at the car every time we came back from exploring. You could really tell he loved the city and it made the experience even more special for my husband and I. The sunset at Sounio was SPECTACULAR and the drive to it was gorgeous. The day was absolutely perfect!
