  Harry was very nice and helpful during a mini emergency during our tour! Harry showed us little known spots that gave us an opportunity to really experience Athens.

• A Perfect Day in Athens with Andreas

  ​Booking a private tour with Andreas was the best decision we made for our trip to Athens! From the moment he picked us up at our hotel at 9 a.m. in his comfortable, air-conditioned Hyundai van, we knew we were in for a special day. ​Andreas is a true local with an incredible depth of knowledge and a genuine passion for his city. He's not just a driver; he's a fantastic guide who brings history to life. Because private guides aren't allowed inside the main sites, Andreas gave us a brilliant "pre-intro" to the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora before we went in. He used his tablet and picture books to explain the history and key points, which was so valuable and helped us appreciate everything we were seeing on our own. We spent about 1.5 hours exploring each site, and it was the perfect amount of time. ​He then took us to see the fascinating changing of the Presidential Guard, a must-see! It was amazing to watch this 15-minute ceremony that happens every hour, all day, every day. As we drove around the city, he pointed out many other historical highlights, including the Olympic Stadium, and took us to the highest point for a breathtaking panoramic photo opportunity. ​Lunch was a highlight! Andreas took us to his favorite restaurant, Proedros, where we had a delicious traditional Greek lunch that included a Greek salad, gyros, local beer, and a baklava dessert. It was the perfect midday break. ​Throughout the day, Andreas was incredibly flexible and happy to adjust the schedule to suit us. He gave us extra time where we wanted it and even made a short stop for us to buy some gifts at the end. We couldn't help but make a personal connection with him; he is kind, knowledgeable, and full of heart. If you want an authentic, insightful, and truly personal tour of Athens, look no further than Andreas. We can't recommend him highly enough!

  Great day! Great tour guide! Pantelis was fantastic and really gave some good history of the areas we visited. We hit all of the highlights but never felt rushed. Would highly recommend this tour!

• A lot packed into a day. The guide makes all the difference.

  A lot packed into a day. Much of it was time spent walking the major sites on our own. We saw everything promised on the itinerary, but it was difficult to clearly see the drive-by locations from the rear seats of the tour van. The seating gets higher each row back, which makes looking out of the side windows difficult if you are a taller person. Our driver was pleasant and handled the driving duties perfectly, however he did have a thicker accent which made his English hard to understand through a low-volume microphone and the loud air conditioner noise in the rear of the van. For the price, I expected a lot more history and descriptions of our historical stops. The included lunch was very good in a nice restaurant. We took a second van trip the next day to the The Temple of Poseidon. Our guide with that company had a history degree and gave us so much more information and a better experience with her knowledge. That said, It is a convenient way to see the major sites of Athens in a single day, but the knowledge of the guide has a huge impact on the experience.

• Ask for Panos!
