Amazing tour for the value! - WOW! We had such a great experience with our guide, Mattina and driver Yiannis. They made sure we got to see as much as possible in the little time that we had and Mattina was SO knowledgeable, fun, sweet and helped us to take some great photos to commemorate our trip. They also helped us plan a schedule that really did maximize what we were able to see. We can't wait to come back and see more of Athens on a future trip!

Stephano the “God” of the tour guides - Stephano took us on a tour of Athens. We saw the highlights and so much more! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Greece. We didn’t feel rushed at any of the stops we made. This was my husband and I first time in Greece and Stephano made it such a memorable time for us. I would highly recommend this tour and would request Stephano! For he truly is a “God” of the tour guides !

Athens & Ancient Greek Temples - We had a amazing private tour of the City of Athens and ancient ruins. Our guide Alexander was extremely knowledgeable able the ruins along with the cities history/government. I especially like the mythology stories told of Athena and Zeus. I can’t remember all the places we visited, but I would highly recommend this 1/2 day tour.
