Flexible and Professional Guide! - We had a wonderful time seeing the sights with our driver/guide Michael. Our arrival in Athens was pushed back and we worried we would not be able to make it to the Acropolis for our scheduled ticket time. Michael was reassuring and communicated with us in the days leading up to our arrival; he was flexible with the schedule change and he got us there in time! He is very knowledgeable of the history of the area and we enjoyed learning about life in Athens in the present day. After our tour concluded and we were dropped off, Michael sent us additional information on where to go based on our interests. We so appreciated his advice.

The best highlight tour of Athens! - We had the absolute best experience during our tour! We were lucky to have Costas as our guide and he was a class act. He messaged us through WhatsApp and met us earlier than our scheduled tour. He’s a Patriot with extensive knowledge of beautiful Greece Athens. He made sure to take us to the best spots at the right times so our kids could see the change of the guards. The van was very comfortable and he had lots of cold water bottles for our family. Look no further if you would like to see the highlights of Athens in the best possible way.

Like Goldilocks says, “Just right.” - Panos is an excellent driver. Very knowledgeable and friendly, without being overly talkative. Perfect for a jet-lagged couple wanting to see as much of Athens as possible in one afternoon. Highly recommend!

Good 2hr tour post cruise - We had limited time and since it was a weekend the Acropolis was extremely busy, so our tour guide did an alternative tour for th limited time we had. It was still good tour, saw other places and got to the airport as planned,

Be sure your flight isn’t delayed if you are using this day adventure as a layover - Flight delayed . Did not feel comfortable still committing to the trip because of time constraints. They could not offer us even a partial refund. The driver, however, was still ok taking us.
