5.00Yesterday, we went on our tour entitled My Athens Tour - Full Day. It was wonderful and we toured much of Athens most noticeable sites. Stavros, our driver. was amazing and provided much knowledge of the sites and city. He provided us with adequate time at each site. He provided many details and suggestions along the way. We appreciate our time we spent with our driver Stavros and his knowledge he shared along the way. He provided us with many great memories. Athens and the Country of Greece is beautiful and we highly recommend this tour and many others that we chose with Viator. Bryan Kostelecky (ND, USA)

5.00Stavros was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything to us (family of 4 with two children ages 11 and 8) in a way that was easy to understand and that was super interesting and relevant. He was also super flexible with our schedule and timing, and patient with all of our questions especially from the kids. I would HIGHLY recommend this!!!

5.00Our guide Stavios was on time and easy to locate. He was beyond expectations in descripting the various sites and has an unbelievable knowledge of Greek history and presented it cleary. His english is very good and kept us all in tune with what he was communcating.. I rate this tour as a high value for the cost and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in Athens. As a side note Stavios helped us getting into our airbnb at the end of the tour which was a very nice touch.
A must see and do!

5.00Stavros Striligas was our tour guide for the whole day trip and he was incredible! Extremely knowledgeable of the history, the area, and ensured we saw the main tourist attractions while also accommodating any one-off requests we had. I would go back and do this same tour any day traveling to Athens. One of the best days of vacation by far!
History and hospitality in Athens

5.00Stavros was waiting for us at the cruise terminal and immediately began our tour. From the very beginning he educated us with his colorful and detailed history of Athens and the Athenean people. Our first stop was the Acropolis where Stavros explained in detail many of the sights and their significance. Upon arrival he got us our tickets (which was unexpected and very much appreciated as he was able to get them without waiting in the long tourist line). After enjoying the Acropolis we called and Stavros was there to pick us up in minutes. We then stopped at several stops including the old Olympic Stadium and the Temple of Greece. At each Stavros again provided a great deal of details which made each more interesting to the group. We then stopped in front of the Presidents residence to see the changing of the guards. This was better viewing than we had last time in Athens where we watched from the square again thanks to Stavros. We then went to the Plaka for a bite to eat and shopping. We agreed to a pick up time and place and Stavros was right on time. Last stop was to be Mt Lycabetttus but there was a fire warning on our day and the mountain was shut to visitors. At this point our day was over and Stavros brought us back to our ship happier and more educated than when we started. Highly recommend this tour and Stavros in particular. Thank you Stavros!
