5.00Our final tour during our Athens visit was titled “ Best of Athens, (full day private tour) operated by My Athens Transfer and manned by the incomparable driver-guide, Costas. Our trend of drawing outstanding drivers-guides continued. Costas was very knowledgeable, fluent English, and very engaging -offering constant facts and information relative to the site visited at that point. In doing so, Costas demonstrated many characteristics of a school teacher offering comments ( particularly relating to origins of Greek culture and history) and then soliciting our responses. His commentary was so frequent and thorough i was afraid we could not absorb and retain it for the test we expected at tour-end. We apparently passed. Just a suggestion, Costas would make an excellent teacher and/ior super guide. The tour itself was well organized with comfortable transport beginning with a visit to the magnificent Acropolis and its antiquities which, of course was very crowded. Movement and taking unimpeded photos was a challenge but very much worth the hassle. Much like the Smithsonian, one could spend a couple days in the Acropolis Museum. The tour is comprehensive visiting over twenty sites so it would be difficult to pick a highlights; but two sites we enjoyed was the panoramic view from Mount Lycabettus and the opportunity to visit the site of the first modern Olympics - Panathenaic Stadium. Our tour concluded with an early delicious dinner prepared by a hospitalable staff at a traditional Greek Tavern/cafe. If you have limited time, want some privacy, move at your pace, then we recommend this tour with the Greek goggle-king -Costas-at the helm.
One day visit to Athens

5.00Personal trip through Athens with our private driver and car. We got everywhere that is on the must see list and never felt rushed. If you have limited time to see Athens this is by far the way to go. Lunch was worked in when we wanted to eat. We were taken to a local restaurant and could order what we wished.
A great day.
