Wonderful tour for our family - We did the 1/2 day tour with our family during our port day for a cruise. We have a 10 and 8 year old boy. Vasilis was our driver - he was kind, knowledgeable and took us to all the popular sites. He also brought us fresh baked bakery items after our tour of the Acropolis - so nice and so yummy! He kept us safe, was a great driver and told us all the history and inside knowledge. I highly recommend this tour for anyone - families, couples or groups.

Very memorable trip in Athens - We only have half day in Athens before we went to the port for cruise. This tour was a perfect choice to have a sightseeing around the city and the museum, the driver was very polite and he was punctual at every meeting point. We're sincerely appreciate for his help.

Driver/Guide made this an above the top experience - Our tour guide (driver) John went out of his way to to make our time with this tour exceptional and personal. He was very flexible and kind and showed us parts of Athens the normal tourist wouldn't see. He even took us to a local fast food eatery where all the drivers eat for a great, low cost lunch. What a wonderful guy who left us with memories of Athens we will treasure forever.

Our guide for the day was... - Our guide for the day was Sylvia—having someone like her is the only way to see Athens! She was energetic, enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable about the history, architecture, politics, and culture of Greece over the millennia. Just an amazing experience thanks to her. We really highly recommend seeing this amazing city with her or someone like her.

Half day trip in Athens - Our driver was excellent (I’m so sorry I forgot his name but he used to be a palace guard) he was so informative about everywhere we went and worked really hard to make sure we got to putt final destination on time. I would definitely recommend this company.

Fun day - Great job by our tour guide. The Acropolis was amazing. The Zeus statue was a disappointment. Changing of the guard and Olympic stadium were also amazing. Good day.

Loukas did a great job - We took the tour on Sunday Nov 5th. It turned out to be a free day at the Acropolis. The crowds were crazy so we chose to skip it and go on our own the next day (turned out to be a great decision). Our driver Loukas tried to take us to Zeus' temple but there was a protest going on in the city center so he took us to see the Greek Rivera. There was an air show going on at the time. Overall the tour didn't go at all as planned but Loukas did a great job of changing things up as the day went on. We did get to Zeus and some other sites. With travel you just have to roll with it.
