How to see Athens in a day!

This private tour was a great way to get around. We were able to spend as little or as much time as we wanted to at each site. My husband has some mobility issues and he could choose to get out of the vehicle or relax inside as the rest of us got out and explored. Our driver Demetrius was amazing and spoke excellent English, so communication was easy. He referred us to local restraints to eat that were great. We had such a good time with him laughing and enjoying our time together. The tour organizer George was also very accommodating. When we originally book we had five guest. Two of our friends surprised us and joined us on this trip. He was able to make our group 7 with ease and we were still very comfortable in our private Van. Great job and I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Our group of 6 neighbors thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Our driver/guide “Nick” was on time, and showed us around Athens while providing detailed and interesting commentary along the way. He directed us to a local taverna with delicious tradition Al Greek food. The best part of the tour, however, was the time spent at the Parthenon and the Acropolis museum. We hired the optional licensed tour guide (and former archeologist) to guide us through these sites. It was the best 280 euros we ever spent. Eva was so knowledgeable, and an absolutely joy! While the cruise ship tourists were walking around with glazed-over eyes and number stickers on their shirts, we were getting all the personalized and detailed stories from Eva!
Great one day tour

Had a great time. Our guide Zafros was great. He had a lot of knowledge about Athens and gave us a great insight of Athens. Cold water was in ample supply which was great in the hot weather. Would highly recommend

We enjoyed our tour. My husband and I would have preferred more time in the museum, but our kids would have rather skipped the museum - so our guide hit it perfectly for us.
