Best Tour Of Historic Athens I Could Wish For Was Provided by Konstantinos! - On May 19/24 my husband and I were so fortunate to have Konstantinos of Great Greek Tours provide a fabulous private tour of Athens! He was such a professional gentleman that from the moment he picked us up at our hotel in his immaculate black Mercedes sedan, I felt like royalty!
Turning 80 this year with some mobility issues, I need to use a cane when I am not on smooth, familiar ground. Because Konstantinos helped me to get out of his vehicle as close as possible to entrances and was always there to extend his arm when I exited a museum or attraction. I was thrilled to be able to see and enjoy so many of the historic sites on this remarkable day in Athens!
Konstantinos so passionate and informative about the history of his city and country, it made everything "come alive". He was a true educator with his pictures, books and maps to illustrate what we were about to see. He allowed us to take the time we (I) needed without being rushed but managed to capture all that is on the "must see" in Athens checklist! It was a day I wish I could "live again" but thankfully will have my souvenirs and wonderful memories to treasure! Sincere thanks, Konstantinos from Carolyn and Bill

The only way to see Athens! - Konstantinos was a wonderful ambassador for Athens! He was right on time picking us up from our hotel, and planned a fantastic day for us. His depth of knowledge was incredible! He took us to so many locations of interest and shared tons of great information and stories. His joy and enthusiasm for Greece and its history made the day an absolute joy. Konstantinos was so personable and truly took the time to get to know us and structure a day that met all our expectations and hopes. Even his vehicle was spotless and beautiful. We traveled in luxury with the city’s finest guide!
If you are traveling to Athens, Greece and you want the best way to see the city, visit the ancient sites, and truly learn the history and significance, then your only choice is Great Greece Tours with Konstantinos! We still talk about our trip and reflect on his care of us. In fact, we still chat with Konstantinos from time to time 😁
