This was the second time we took this tour while in Greece. Eirini was such a good tour guide the first time, we booked her again for a second tour. She was able to customize the tour so we saw things we didn’t see on the first tour. Eirini is a great tour host and I can’t say enough good about her. She is friendly, accommodating and provided excellent recommendations for our onward journey in Greece. You can’t go wrong with this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Eirini as your guide.

This tour was amazing! The ability to customize the tour to our abilities and interests was great. Eirini was a great guide and provided us with an awesome day that included a beautiful drive to various ruins, seeing the changing of the guards, and she even waited while we had a bite to eat at the sea. I highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky enough to have Eirini as your guide you can be sure it will be an awesome tour!

Beautiful sites. Saw Athens at night with tour and once our guide found that out I think we skipped a few things. Drive was beautiful along the coastline. Was slightly upset that we were offered a lunch stop at a seaside fresh fish restaurant and paid over 125 dollars for fresh fish, vegetables, and iced tea. Food was OK but rather pricey for a lunch stop. Driver seems preoccupied with multiple phone calls and talked on phone much of trip. I guess we got what we paid for but was slightly disappointed.

Both the administrative support before the tour (George A) and the guide (George B) were excellent!! We were able to experience the ruins and museum with pre-booked tickets, enjoyed a fantastic traditional lunch and were at the Parliament just in time for the guard change. George B also picked us up right at our cruise port and took us back safely and timely.Greatly recommended.

Giannis started our tour with a warm smile and firm handshake. I knew immediately he would be a super guide. He was on time and drove us in a beautiful car! Typically I’m indifferent to cars but this drive felt luxurious! He offered to take us for coffee! This was an unexpected thrill because we saw a local coffee shop that was vibrant and had delicious coffee! He is a natural communicator who is not only interesting but very informative! I highly suggest requesting him as your driver and guide. He explained local culture and history! I felt like he really cared! We finished off the evening tour at a seaside local restaurant. It was a magical time! He gave us a relaxing, fun, and exciting tour! I can’t wait to return to Greece and would not hesitate to use this company. Thank you so much!

George was very nice, however the tour was shown as ‘private tour’ and ‘skip the line’! He basically just drove us around (a taxi service) no history offered or skip any line, sorry to report
