Manos made our last evening in Athens very special. MANOS is an incredible, enthusiastic guide who goes above and beyond what is expected.
Edit_B, Apr 2024
this trip was part of a business meeting. the plan was to see the highlights in a few hours in comfort and it certainly did that.
Great communication prior the tour to make seamless start, a super comfy Mercedes bus, and the highlight: Giannis.
Excellent English, great sense of humor and great delivery of the stories. and most importantly also a fabulous driver.
Enjoyed it so much, that would not mind to take the same tour again if I return.

The guide was polite, courteous and very professional. A photographer, he instantly understood our expectations, knew all the rights spots and offered some intuitive insight when it came to unique compositions. The four hours went quickly, there was no wasted time and I feel this was an amazing value to travel with such a talented and knowledgeable guide. In addition to the photography, he also knew all the history so when we were traveling from site to site, he provided a thorough understanding of the city and it changes throughout history. Manos must be their best guide as I cannot imagine anyone could be any better.

Our tour guide, Kyriakos (Sunday), was professional and personable. He picked us up on time. He reviewed with us the things we wanted to see and also offered additional suggestions/options. His knowledge of Athens, past and present, enhanced our experience. His suggestion for our request to dine near the Acropolis exceeded our expectations. We sat on the restaurant's outdoor terrace which overlooked the beautiful city of Athens with the Acropolis in the background....glowing in light. What a memory! The tour was well worth the money

Seeing Athens at night is to see this city in all its glory. From the Acropolis lit up, to a changing of the guard at the barracks, we experienced a magical evening. Our host Andreas, was perfect: funny, friendly, sensitive to Our physical limitations and just downright wonderful. We saw little neighborhoods, the city highlights and learned so much about this beautiful old city. We ended the evening with a delicious dinner at Arcadia. This is a great tour if you are short on time and a marvelous way to see Athens.

Our tour guide was welcoming, vibrant, energetic, positive and caring. We enjoyed him very much and he made our one evening in Athens very nice. Thank you,

Although our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, and personable, the only lights we saw at night in Athens were AUTOMOBILE TAIL LIGHTS. For atleast half of the tour we sat in traffic. We were only offered water AFTER we purchased our own. Nit at all a good value for the money. I would nit recommend this tour.
