The Best All Day Tour of Athens! - What a great way to finish our vacation! Our day started with a pickup from our driver and guide, George, from the cruise port. He then spent the entire day showing us numerous archaeological and historical sites around the city. It was a great mix of both ancient and recent history throughout the city and he spent so much time explaining the cultural significance of each place we stopped or visited. He also gave us plenty of free time to meander around locations such as Zeus’ Temple or the Parthenon, so we didn’t feel rushed at any time during the day. We also were allowed to stop at any time during the day for food or restroom breaks if they were needed. This was easily the best tour we experienced during our trip. George was an absolutely wonderful guide and showed us things in Athens that we likely wouldn’t have seen had we been on a group tour of the sites. And because this tour was private, we had an air conditioned van all to ourselves throughout the day - so much better than jamming into a bus with 40 other strangers. The one real plus for this tour was the communication. Both the company and driver were constantly in touch with us via both phone and WhatsApp both prior to and during the pickup, so we knew who to look for, where to go, what tickets to buy ahead of time, etc. This is something that definitely set them apart from the other four guides we had hired at other locations on our trip and makes it so easy for foreigners who are visiting a new city for the first time. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Our many thanks for a great day!

Best tour guide! - My husband and I lucked up and got Konstantinos as our private tour guide. He made our last day of our 15 day Mediterranean trip the most special day ever. He took a s to an authentic Greek restaurant that was delicious and so much food. He truly tailored our tour for us. When he pulled up the doorman told us we were in for a special day. We had no idea how special it would be.Best way to end our trip!!!
