Terry is an angel - Holy cow this was by far our favorite day in Athens. Terry kept us busy but tailored the entire tour to our interests and needs. He not only made us laugh but was so super knowledgeable being that he is a local. He was such an angel, super polite and just lovely to be around. The car was extremely clean as well. He has amazing tips for local culture and great food recommendations. He was also a great resource and knowing we had a friend in town was a great feeling! We strongly suggest you and your family to book with CATTaxi and working with Terry and his team!!

Don’t leave Athens without going on this journey!!! - Great tour with Terry, the company is very flexible and customer service driven, they made sure every comfort was provided from drinks to an amazing vehicle to spend the day driving in. Terry was an outstanding partner to share his love and knowledge of the Athenian history and Greek culture. My wife and I had no real plans to utilize these services originally. However, having spent the day with Terry and this company we couldn’t imagine walking away from Athens feeling as satisfied as we do and knowing that we truly saw everything there is to see. Had we not joined Terry this day we would have left Athens feeling like maybe we could have had more, Terry and this company delivers this experience and sentiment with 5 star’s and more.

Amazing experience with the highlights tour - We had an amazing experience visiting the highlights of Athens & Sounio with the private tour. Very personal service and they have a great knowledge of the historic sites. The driver was very friendly and they took care of all the COVID measures in these difficult times. There was a bit of a hot period in Athens and it was amazing having a new and comfortable car with great A/C. When we come back later this year we will be booking another tour with them for sure!

Thanks Terry for a wonderful tour! - Terry our guide and driver was a wonderful historian and a very kind, easygoing man.
We started at the Acropolis. Terry made it extra special by starting our tour at a little-visited ruins, which turned out to be the first place where people voted, with black and white stones...we were literally at the birthplace of democracy, just a stone's throw from the Acropolis but not at all crowded. It felt sacred there.
Then the Acropolis, which was wonderful. Followed by the Temple of Zeus, the first Olympic stadium, the prime minister and president's homes where we saw the ceremonially dressed Presidential Guard.
Another interesting side trip followed, to see the ruins where Plato taught Aristotle. Another less celebrated interesting site thanks to Terry!
We stopped for lunch in a seaside town filled with locals, then off to Sounio, the Temple of Poseidon. After the Acropolis this may have been my favorite.
Terry had a great sense of history; it was also interesting to hear about local life and how the Greek economy is slowly reviving.
Highly recommend. Thanks again Terry!

Athens Ruins and Sounio Cape - What an amazing day we had with Terry! We did a private tour with just the 4 of us (2 couples from Canada). We did Sounio Cape in the morning and the drive down the coast was absolutely beautiful. The Temple of Poseidon is definitely a must! Terry suggested we do the Cape in the morning and the Acropolis in the afternoon to avoid the crowds - great suggestion! Terry provided some interesting history and information and kept us entertained during such a pleasant drive. We mentioned that we wanted to try homemade Greek "Bougatsa" - he took us to a small little town where we tried some and it was amazing! Thank you so much Terry for a fantastic day -- truly a memorable experience - Best Regards, from Canada
