Highlights
  • Acropolis - The Acropolis of Athens and its monuments are universal symbols of the classical spirit and civilization and form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world. Athens, following the victory against the Persians and the establishment of democracy, took a leading position amongst the other city-states of the ancient world. In the age that followed, as philosophy and art flourished, an exceptional group of artists put into effect the ambitious plans of Athenian statesman Pericles and, under the inspired guidance of the sculptor Pheidias, transformed the rocky hill into a unique monument of thought and the arts.

Wonderful experience with Periklis - I would strongly recommend. - I have just returned from a visit to Athens with my mother (80 years) and a young friend (13 years) with some mobility issues. Periklis collected us promptly at our hotel in a beautiful Mercedes taxi and gave us a very friendly and informative tour, lasting 5 hours. Periklis was able to judge the walking capability of our young friend and my mother - and recommend how we could safely and comfortably visit the sites. We were able to choose our own timing and interests for many of the locations. At the end of the tour, Periklis dropped us off at a restaurant of our choice, near to our hotel. We subsequently asked him to take us shopping and back to the airport, later in the week, which again, worked very well. I would certainly recommend using Colours of Greece for a comprehensive tour of Athens and the surrounding areas - and I am likely to use the company again. Thankyou Periklis for welcoming and looking after us splendidly, in Athens. Dr. S Hurley.

Worth the extra money!!!!! - This was well worth the money! We received front door service at our hotel. It was nice to be able to visit the attractions at our pace instead of being with a group. We ended up getting done with some stuff early so we were able to see the changing of the guard which was a neat extra. We got great souvenirs from a shore right by the Acropolis. My favorite was the Olympic stadium! Definitely book with them. Our driver was amazing. My husband lost his card but I really wanted to recognize him. He talked sports with my husband which added a personal touch.

Acropolis and surrounding tour - Ruslan was a knowledgeable guide who let us take our time at each of the sites. He gave us so much history and background that we didn’t know. I would recommend him for this tour!!!

A fabulous tour with Constantine - From the moment we met Constantine I knew straightaway we were going to have a fabulous time and we weren’t disappointed, Constantine has a real grasp of what people want to see and this was identified with the places he took us to, he ensured we knew what to expect about the tour and his knowledge and experience was second to none, he took us to all the sites and made sure we had all the information and facts before we looked around, there was no rush either, we were simply allowed to enjoy ourselves and not feel pressured to keep to a timeline, we both had a fantastic time and I believe that was down to Constantine who you can tell loves his job and his city, thank you sir for a truly memorable day and one that will live long in our memories.
