Best time ever in Athens (highly recommend)

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a great time with Golden Greece Tours! The staff was friendly and professional, we managed to see all the "must-see" spots of Athens. Thanks a lot :) !!!

Fantastic experience!

Costas was a great guide (and our driver was fantastic). The day was not only informative but engaging as well. Learned fascinating history and contemporary Athens context. Highly recommended.

Money well spent, and I will do it again.

The most fantastic experience in years of travel. The whole time it felt like traveling with and old friend. Tour guide very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. Knows all the sites and more importantly, everyone knows him, so you get treated like family. I will come back with my daughters next time.

WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME WE BOOKED A 2ND TOUR!

Tony and the Team at Golden Greece tours are amazing! We enjoyed the Athens tour so much that we scheduled a 2nd tour of Thermopylae with them and that tour was absolutely incredible as well! Cannot say enough great things about our drivers and guides! In particular, our driver (and Captain) Lazarus was so helpful, attentive, and thoughtful. We had missed some landmarks during our Athens tour (our fault, not Golden Greece tours fault) and Lazarus made time to take us on our way to the terminal). Also want to recognize our expert guide and teacher Costas who was somehow able to present a semester's worth of Greek history into a half day tour of Thermopylae! Absolutely the best tour ever! We learned so much about the history of Greece and how it ties into modern history and current events. We felt like old friends by the time our tour was over! Don't hesitate to book with Golden Greece Tours! You will not be dissappointed!

Wonderful
