Christos made the tour wonderful - We had an amazing trip with Christos. He was so kind and full of information and we learnt so much about Greece. A very safe driver and a very nice man. He gave us water and also some nice book about Greece and postcards too. I was traveling with my elderly parents and the ac was amazing in the car in the heat. A wonderful tour with Christos we highly recommend him.

Perfect Day! - Christos was the very best of guides to help us enjoy our one day in Athens. He shared the views of the Acropolis from heights and perspectives that took our breath away. He helped us feel like we were with a friend who wanted to share the city he lives in and loves. When traffic delays caused us to miss the changing of the guard, no problem! He just looped us back in later in the day. It never felt rushed and we came away, hoping that every future tour we booked would be as good as this one.

AMAZING ATHENS TOUR! REQUEST PHILLIP!!! - We booked this tour through Viator.com. When we arrived in Athens, Greece on 09/27/2022, we were greeted by a gentleman named Phillip. Oh, how lucky we were to have Phillip as our tour guide. He was very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and most of all, WONDERFUL! Phillip made our full day private tour an experience of a lifetime. We visited every place on our bucket list and more. We were never rushed or made to feel as if we weren't important. Everyone in our group continues to praise Phillip because he became part of our group. Phillip, you are a special man and we will never forget you.

Ride from airport & half day Athens tour - Christos actually met us at the airport & took us to our apartment in the taxi to drop off our luggage, then we began a half day tour. We saw all the highlights including going to the highest mountain peak on our way into town. We got a quick bite to eat and then saw the Stoa & Agora, the Acrapolus, Mt Lycabettus, Evzonnes (Greece Presidential guards- But near the presidents house up closer than by the unknown known soldier memorial). We saw quite a few other things too that you might be able to see on a hop on hop off bus but we have the flexibility of stopping when we wanted and not having to wait for another bus). Christos is a great guide and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed being with him and then his brother and sister-in-law for the next days eight days in an 8 passenger van on a tour of ancient and modern Greece and footsteps the apostle Paul.
