Great tour!

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a wonderful time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to all the major attractions and showed us some of the old and newer parts of the city.

Fantastic experience

Published on Apr, 2024

Fantastic tour in the timeframe that our visit allowed. Both our driver and tour guide were extremely knowledgeable and wonderful. We were able to get fantastic pics and learn a lot, and we paid extra to be dropped off at the airport afterward. It was a wonderful morning and so convenient and flexible for our needs.

Perfect Tour of Athens

Published on Oct, 2023

WOW! Our tour guide was amazing. Pedro was wonderful. He was punctual, the transportation was clean and comfortable. He explained all the sites and city history. He answered any questions we had about Athens. Athens was a city I had always wanted to visit and explore and after Pedro’s tour I want to return for more Athens adventures. The private tour was our favorite tour during our Mediterranean Cruise

Superseded our expectations!

Published on Nov, 2022

The tour guide was personable and informative and the additional lunch was one of the most amazing meals we had during our whole trip!

Amazingness in Athens!

Published on Oct, 2022

Our tour with Tolis was the highlight of our trip! He was so informative, interesting, knowledgeable and enjoyable! He is the best in the business and helped us fall in love with the great city of Athens! Do not hesitate to book this tour and do yourself a favor and request Tolis!!!!!
