Absolutely recommend! - CATTaxi delivers. All drivers showed up promptly and very easy to communicate a plane change with the service and they adjusted pick up time. We used them four times. All the cars were clean and appeared like regular taxis. I am so glad we used them and took stress out of the equation in Athens. The form to fill out request for service can be a little tricky. Reaching out to them on WhatsApp made it easy to confirm everything as needed. I highly recommend!

Amazing - One of the most beautiful places on Earth. I want to return again and again and again. Could have stayed so much longer. I recommend going for a daytrip here and not as a short stop with a bus. It's a place that deserves that you spend some hours there.

CatTaxi - Terry at CatTaxi was OUTSTANDING. We found him on the Greece Travel Planning website. I communicated with CatTaxi via phone, text, and email, six months before our trip to Greece. The drivers, the van, the guide, etc., were perfect. There were 7 people in our party and we were very impressed by the professionalism and kindness of CatTaxi. HIGHLY recommend this company. We loved Cape Sounio, the Athens City Tour, and the tour of the Acropolis.

Don’t book anyone else - If you are in Athens and looking for an amazingly articulate, informed and entertaining tour please do not look any further. Terry was a fabulous raconteur, entertaining both myself and my 15yo daughter throughout our 5 hour tour around Athens and onto The Cape. He was thoughtful, engaged and willing to go the extra mile. I cannot recommend CAT highly enough.

Perfect end to our Athens trip - During our airport pickup, Terry suggested that we have this tour because this was the best spot in Athens to see the sunset. It was a bit far from the city center so it was super convenient to have our own taxi to travel there. It was such an unforgettable experience seeing how beautiful the sunset was while overlooking the beautiful scenery. It made me appreciate the beauty of Athens more and how rich their culture is. Really recommend this company for their airport transfer and tours! Their drivers are very knowledgeable and give you so many insights into the history and culture of Athens. They are very helpful and provide excellent customer service as well.

Awesome experience - I had the great pleasure of meeting Dimitri who was my driver to Sounio Cape for the Sunset tour, He made the experience very memorable, a kind and smart and knowledgeable about Greece history and mythology. The drive was very nice overlooking the coast, and stopping whichever place I like for photos. I highly recommend a private tour with Cattaxi and if you are lucky you will get the awesome rider partner named Dimitri.

Outstanding trip to Temple of Poseidon and more!!! - Thank you Terry for the excellent trip. We couldn’t have asked for more. His knowledge of Greece, its monuments, and its complicated politics was extremely impressive and helpful. This is a must do trip while in Athens and the Temple of Poseidon was likely the most beautiful of all of the temples.

Amazing Experience - This was a great experience from end to end. We were picked up on time, in a very comfortable sedan. Our driver, Aristotle, was clearly very experienced. Our journey to and from the Cape was very enjoyable. Ari was knowledgeable, but did not dominate he conversation. The Cape and Temple area are simply stunning and to be there at sunset was a truly memorable experience. As the sun set it provided a very surreal experience, made even better by the contrast of the sun setting behind one of the Islands and the golden rays kissing the columns of Poseidon. After sunset Ari allowed us time to enjoy a leisurely drink, thereby avoiding the traffic headed back to Athens. Not to be missed.
