WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME WE BOOKED A 2ND TOUR! - Tony and the Team at Golden Greece tours are amazing! We enjoyed the Athens tour so much that we scheduled a 2nd tour of Thermopylae with them and that tour was absolutely incredible as well! Cannot say enough great things about our drivers and guides! In particular, our driver (and Captain) Lazarus was so helpful, attentive, and thoughtful. We had missed some landmarks during our Athens tour (our fault, not Golden Greece tours fault) and Lazarus made time to take us on our way to the terminal). Also want to recognize our expert guide and teacher Costas who was somehow able to present a semester's worth of Greek history into a half day tour of Thermopylae! Absolutely the best tour ever! We learned so much about the history of Greece and how it ties into modern history and current events. We felt like old friends by the time our tour was over! Don't hesitate to book with Golden Greece Tours! You will not be dissappointed!

Great, reliable private transportation. - I lined up Lazarus to be our driver for our airport pickup and transport to downtown Athens, and from Athens to the Cruise Port three days later. Lazarus and his associates were on time, courteous, and provided great service. The vehicles were also clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this company for private transport around Athens.

The man the myth legend - This guy can do it all! Honestly the best day we spent in Greece was with this guy. Felt like we knew him for 20 years. The hospitality, sprinter van, cold waters, narration, everything! No detail was left out. He lives to make you happy.

Extremely knowledgeable and personable - Lazarus and Natasha were outstanding. They were very knowledgeable about the history and culture. They adapted the day to our interests and the holiday closures. We will definitely search them out for our next trip!

Great Geece overview - We had no idea that we had planned our one full day in Greece on Orthodox Easter when all the major archaeological sites were closed. However, Theodore our driver was able to cover even more area with the extra time allowed by not visiting the sites from the interior and gave us great history and local insights to what we were seeing. He also took us to great little hidden "local" spots.

Super tour of Athens! - This was a great overview of Athens. Our tour guide, George, was a retired professor and very knowledgeable. We had a separate driver to skillfully navigate the crowded streets. Since the tour was private, George customized it to our requests. The vehicle was a very comfortable Mercedes minivan. We were very pleased and highly recommend any tours from this vendor.
