We loved the private tour experience. We were able to explore on our own time. We were given plenty of time to see everything. Our driver, Nikos, was absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. He maneuvered the streets and traffic perfectly. What a beautiful day in Athens.
Athens best in a day!

A truly unforgettable day with Erkan our guide. He was so knowledgeable about all thd sites. His organisation of our tour was superb. Istanbul was very busy however he arranged skip the line tickets and the timing was great! We had plenty of time at the Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cisterns which are a must see. Our lunch (not included) at The Pudding restaurant was delicious. The spice market was a wonderful assault on our senses. A fabulous day. Thank you Erkan.

Aside from having heat exhaustion and needing to be seen by the doctor on site, it was amazing. The temp that day was 106.4’F. I made it to the top around 530 pm, but wasn’t sweating. Luckily, the first aid station, cooled me down and got me feeling better. The history on this tour was amazing. I can’t remember my driver’s name, he’s in his 40’s, Has twin girls, his wife is a nurse and his also does accounting. He was highly trained and skilled to speak of history of the city. It sounded like he had a history degree in ancient Athens. Highly recommend this tour. But I would go to Greece when it is cooler. They were having unseasonably hot temperatures when we were there. Wear no slick shoes going to the top.
