Good tour for runners and history fans - Our guide was informative and also curious. We loved hearing about Athens history and telling him our marathon stories. He never rushed us and found us a very nice snack/meal. The starting line for the marathon was humbling. The race museum was awesome with history and something for about every nationality.

Ultimate experience with Manos . A lovely and pleasant driver guide - It's always very nice to visit the places you ve heard so many times but never saw in person. The most amazing surprise was Manos Grizas , not only he welcomed us with bagels and bottled waters but he was amazing on explaining to us all the history behind the highlights. We rode on a journey passing through different ages . Highly recommended

Grand touring with Manos! - We had such a great experience! Manos is a polite and dedicated guide who will go above and beyond to facilitate your needs and ensure a memorable journey. From pick-up to drop-off, he is professional, ensuring all the practicalities for the trip are taken care of, and you feel in good hands. The car is beautiful and brand new, so you are essentially grand touring throughout Greece! Manos is very knowledgeable, has an unforced pleasant storytelling style, and adds many exciting elements to his tale. He enthuses you, and you want to check out all the places he mentions, so the moment you arrive at the different destinations of the tour, you have this incredible background story that makes each location come alive. We learned so much during the journey with Manos and had great fun! So happy we did this! We will definitely come back for the grander tours this man has in his portofolio. Thank you so much!

Marathon Tour - So interesting places to visit with such history. Really liked the Marathon lake and dam. Beautiful nature not far from Athens. Had a late model Mercedes and the driver was very informative.

Marathon experience - We had a wonderful time. Seeing the monument, the museum and the entire area of Marathon, you immediately realize the greatness of the route and the effort that took place during that turbulent period for the Athenians. The car and driver were great as we had wi-fi in the car and the driver spoke very good English. Fantastic experience for about half day, worth the money from the first cent. When we come to Athens again we will definitely prefer the same office for a new fantastic experience!!!

Ouaou! - When we started planning our trip in Athens we understood that 5 days weren't enough to see everything...so we decided to find a local tour guide. Manos was amazing with a brand new mercedes! He was knowledgeable but more importantly he was engaged. During the tour we were able to discuss everything from living in Greece , the history, and politics of course. Excellent tour. Full recommended!

Marathon Legacy - A great opportunity to simulate one of the greatest battles ever! Manos made o great job. We started from the Stadium where the authentic Marathon finishes . An important venue for the Athenians! We traced all the track for the Marathon runners and we went to the authentic battlefield of the Marathon . The archaeological museum was excellent and gave me the feedback I needed to. We had a coffe on the beach where the fight originally became. A lively place, with nice cafes and restaurants. We ended with the Dam. A picturesque spot , vital lake for the Athenians. Thank you for this trip guys. You did a great job

Fantastic tour at the Temple of Poseidon - Hi Manos Just wanted to say another big thank you for the tour yesterday. It included so much, and added greatly to the richness of my time here in Athens. The scenery was beautiful. The Temple was great. And the fish was fantastic! Setting perfect. And what a lovely warm friendly restaurant owner. Thanks so much for sharing that! I learned so much, and you gave me just the right amount of information, so it was really interesting without being overwhelming. + it was great fun too! Thanks again, and let me know when you plan to visit some English castles! Warm wishes Mary Ps I visited Lykavittos and Philopappas today and enjoyed both, + more wonderful food!
