Memorable tour, awesome driver!

5.00We loved this experience! It was a long day, but the driver was absolutely amazing! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, punctual, and offered us water frequently. The car was very nice and spacious. It was very convenient to ride in the car to the main tourist attractions (in the air conditioning) and hear about them and the Greek culture along the way. We added on a tour guide for the Acropolis, which we enjoyed. The driver is unable to go in with you to the attractions, so I would recommend a tour guide if you are interested in the history. I would also recommend looking up the other attractions to see if you are interested in them prior to purchasing the tickets. We purchased a lot of tickets without doing enough research and we were pretty exhausted by the end of the tour. We also enjoyed the lunch spot he recommended. Overall, this was a very memorable experience and I would highly recommend it.

5.00One of the best tours we have been on! Dimitrius took care of and treated us more like his family than a customer. Dimitrius' vast knowledge of history was awesome for my son's, he went into detail on every question and site. We got to see the Pantheon from both a mountain peak and going to the site, we also got to see the Coliseum, Library and Changing of the Guard. Two highlights for my teenage son's was the local restaurant we ate at and seeing where Giannis basketball court. I can't thank Dimitrius enough for such a great day.
Wonderful day in Athens

5.00Our driver was half hour early just so he would be there on time. He was very friendly and welcoming. We hired a private guide to help us with the tour. That was well worth while. She was very knowledgeable and explained the details that you would not get from a book. Excellent day in Athens
Ask for Yannis!!!!

5.00Had the honor of touring this amazing city today with Yannis. He was an absolute gentleman and instantly became family. We would never want to tour any part of this city ever without him. I honestly personally learned so much from this super cool man about this amazing country, it’s people, and culture in one day than I learned in all my years of school.
Amazing driver and city!!!!!!

5.00Our driver Dimitris was amazing!!!!! He was so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make our day special guest with a stop for sweets as well as a little shopping. Our stops were terrific and we loved all of it. The sights were beautiful and the city alone with energy. Dimitris made us feel like we were natives! This is the way one should tour Athens!!!
Great experience with flexibility

5.00Our family had a great experience, despite the hot weather, on our tour of Athens for the day. The tour host, Dimitri, made the difference and was outstanding. He offered suggestions and alternatives as to what we could do that day based on our needs. He took us to special places to eat both for brunch and dinner - and arranged an "extra" tour of the Poseidon Temple added to the end of the day at our request. He was also extremely knowledgeable about Athens and Greek history as well as local culture.
