5.00I had a fantastic experience on my Athens city tour. Our guide was outstanding—very friendly, warm, and easy to connect with. His English was excellent, and he explained everything clearly without rushing. He was also extremely respectful and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and had time for photos and questions. I learned a lot and never felt overwhelmed. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens. It was the perfect mix of history, local insight, and great hospitality. A wonderful experience from start to finish!
Fantastic Day with Terry and Well Worth It

5.00We booked this trip for our family of 4 with Terry. We've been very lucky with tour guides in the past, but I can say Terry was the best guide we've ever had! He was raised in Athens and knew when the best times to see ruins and secret hidden gems in the city were and we always seemed to be just ahead of the crowds and buses. He was very flexible with time and told us about how long we needed but we could adjust when we wanted to stay longer or move along. I can't believe how much of the city we were able to take in during the tour, well worth the additional cost if you are looking for a thorough but private tour. We have his What's app number and offered to advise us if we ever head back to Athens for visit ideas. He had stories about everything in the city, even some things back when he was growing up there, very informative and fun day.
