5.00Our private tour in Athens with Theodor was outstanding! He picked us up directly from our hotel and guided us through the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, and other important historical sites around the city. His depth of knowledge about Greek history, mythology, and culture was truly impressive — he explained everything with such passion, intelligence, and clarity that it felt like history was coming to life before our eyes. Beyond being an incredible guide, Theodor was professional, patient, and genuinely kind. Thanks to him, we discovered the true essence of Athens — its stories, spirit, and timeless beauty. This tour was unforgettable and absolutely worth it. Highly recommended! 🇬🇷✨
Dimitris was great! Private car is the way to go.

5.00Our driver was Dimitris and he was great! We only had a day in Athens and Dimitris took us to all the Athens highlights, while expertly weaving through the crazy Athens traffic. We hiked up to the tallest hill to get a beautiful overview of all of Athens and Acropolis as well as some great spots for pictures. The Acropolis was sold out of tickets on our day so he took us to the Ancient Agora instead, a mini-Acropolis and we avoided the 20,000 tourists climbing up to the Acropolis. Best way to see Athens is by private car. Highly recommend Dimitris!
Excellent Tour - Highly Recommend!

5.00This tour is excellent and we saw a lot and got to walk around a lot. It was a very personalized experience by Nick our driver. He offered suggestions and took our inputs. He was very knowledgeable about the history and the sites we visited. He was very flexible on timing for each stop, and very efficient on drop offs and pick ups. Nick was not only professional, but also pleasant and thoughtful. We give this tour and Nick our highest recommendation.

5.00Michael our driver/tour guide was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Athens and he was able to get the information across in an engaging manner with an appropriate amount of humor. When we had a problem with our Acropolis tickets, he went far above and beyond to secure them for us. His instructions for drop off and meeting points were very clear and understandable. We highly recommend him as a guide.
Great introduction to Athens

5.00We enjoyed, and learned, with a private tour that worked perfectly for us. Nick was great! He arrived promptly, was sensitive to our needs, shared history of Athens and the sites we were visiting, and must have had "an in" that we enjoyed perfect weather and no waiting in lines. Thank you Nick for this great introduction to Athens
