5.00Anthony was fantastic! He provided excellent history and was a wealth of knowledge. It was so nice having a comfortable car waiting as moved through all the sites. He was accommodating to what we wanted to do and see and made a great recommendation for a true locals lunch. Highly recommend Anthony for any Athens and regional Greece tours.
Great Tour and Guide

5.00Antony made this a great trip. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Greece and the region as a whole. He arrived on time in a very clean vehicle. The trip had four main phases: 1) During the drive to the Acropolis hill he talked about the history of Athens and the region. 2) Prior to entering the Acropolis hill area he showed us images of the major sites in their original and current conditions. He also explained what happened. this provided a very useful perspective of what we’d were looking at once inside. Once inside we were free to explore the site at our own pace, 3) After the Acropolis hill area we were heading for a lunch stop. We asked to a site were locals went (not a tourist location). He took us to a nice local Bistro for lunch and a few beers. When my wife decided to do a little shopping, he escorted her to the store and back to the Bistro (across a busy city street). 4) we the returned to to hotel via the historic Olympic stadium. Overall, Antony did a great job. He was timely, drove a very clean vehicle (as described in the ad), was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Greece, and was friendly and respectful. I highly recommend Antony and Athens Soul Travel!

5.00If you are looking for the best day in Greece book Athens Soul Travel with owner and almost 20 years of experience, Antonios. He is the best guide even after coming off a beautiful cruise. His new luxury car with drinks and snacks takes you to Corinth Canal and then to all the hidden spots to Ancient Corinth. He will reach out to his personal friends to experience, pottery making, wine and olive oil tasting as an extra benefit not found anywhere else. You will watch a video along the way explaining all your sites so once there you just enjoy and take in the beauty and history. After Mycenae you will have a private walking tour through Nafplio which you will never want to leave. Antonios will show you places that no others will see. Then you will end your most amazing day with his special friend's restaurant seaside with fresh seabass and special wine.

5.00Our half day private tour was excellent! It began by the guide meeting us at our hotel in Athens. He was very professional, knowledgeable & friendly. He shared interesting historical facts with us about Athens & Greece and made it easy for us to view each point of interest. We had a great time! The tour lasted 5 hours. We were returned to our hotel. Really appreciated the door-to-door service & highly recommend Athens Soul Service!
