Profesional - We were very pleased with our 2 day private tour which also took us to Delphi. Our driver, Michael, was professional, a gentleman, polite, funny and very informative. The restaurant he chose for us was the best food we had on our entire trip. The sites were amazing! This is a first class company!

Relaxing tour in a busy city - This tour was so relaxed and amazing. Jimmy was the best! He took us to a peaceful lunch on the cape right on the water. We hit some many sites in Athens and outside the city center. It was the perfect way to end our trip.

You should definitely book this tour of Athens - We cannot recommend this tour enough. My wife and I are on our honeymoon and had an absolutely amazing experience with Panos as our driver and Rena as our tour guide. Both were incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. I have a minor in classics and had so much fun talking about the mythology with Rena as she took us around the sites. If you would like a licensed tour guide like Rena to join you at the sites, make sure to message the operator in advance. It’s an additional 300 euros and worth every cent. The sites are breathtaking and the van is very comfortable - it even has WiFi for the drive out to Cape Sounion. The day ended with a wonderful meal at a favorite of locals right on the Agean Sea. You will not regret booking this.

A really good tour to get to know Athens and the Attica area. - We learned a lot on this tour. It was great to get an understanding about all of Attica. The Temple of Poseidon and its history is a fun place to visit. The drive back to Athens is very interesting.

World Class ATHENS private tour !! - The HP tour team are nothing but exceptional! Their communication is word class and the service provided exceeded expectations! This is a first class company and all their staff are incredible. The Mercedes van for the private tour was immaculate, and more importantly the driver Giannis was so very friendly and added to the day. We also booked 3 private transfers from airport/Piraeus and all were on time and exceptional ! I highly recommend this company !!

This is the best way to see Athens! - This tour is the best way to see all the great sites in Athens and then in Souino to see the Tample of Poseidon. Pannos was our driver and he was very nice and very informative at every place we stopped. We didn’t hire a professional tour guide so Pannos would basically give us the history of whatever site we were going to next while driving there and for us that was perfect. We still got all the historical information but then were able to go explore it on our own which we loved. Athens is very hot so doing this kind of tour is the best way to see everything. Yes there was still a lot of walking especially at the acropolis but it definitely felt much more doable the way this tour is organized. Also they suggested buying your tickets in advance and thank his we did because the line to get tickets was so long and most of the time slots were all filled up. At the end of our tour, we went to this adorable restaurant that Pannos suggested and it was amazing! Obviously the restaurant cost of whatever you order isn’t part of the tour so you have to pay if you decide to go there but the prices were pretty reasonable. It was a great way to end a long day of lots of walking. Doing this tour we were able to see all the historical sites in Athens and Sounio in 1 day which was amazing. We were incredibly happy we decided to do this tour and highly recommend it!
