    This was an incredible tour of all of the historical highlights of Athens. The tour guide (Panos) was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me manage the heat by having the air conditioned van and lots of water. Highly recommend!

    From start to finish, this tour exceeded our expectations. Alex, our guide, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Athens. His insights made every stop feel meaningful and engaging. We traveled in a clean, air-conditioned car stocked with bottled water—such thoughtful touches that made the day even more comfortable in the soaring Athens summer heat. We visited all the promised landmarks and even got to see a few bonus spots along the way. It felt like a personalized journey through the heart of the city, especially the impressive ceremony of the Changing of the Guards. If you're looking for a stress-free, enriching way to explore Athens, this tour is an absolute gem. Great value and unforgettable memories!

  • Transport to all main sightseeing area in Athens

    The driver brought us to the main tourist spots in Athens. We even got to see the changing of the guards. He was courteous and friendly and ensured we got to see all the main attractions in Greece. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others who only have a day in for sightseeing. This tour was without a guide. Just transport. The driver did explain what we were seeing before he dropped us off at the sightseeing site. But if you are looking for a very detailed description of the site I would go with the guided tour.
