Awesome Tour!!

Mary_A, May 2024

Simos did an outstanding job. We were able to see the love he has for his city through his eyes. He was really accommodating when one of the couples couldn't make the walk to the Acropolis. He found an alternative for them in which they enjoyed.

Best way to get to know Athens

Christine_R, Jul 2023

Booked this tour through Viator and received almost immediate and helpful communications from Marina, the Admin Assistant & booking agent for Greece Athens Taxi. On the day of our tour, our driver/guide, Konstantinos, was right on time to pick us up at the hotel. The Mercedes taxi was very clean, comfortable and cool. It was extremely hot the day of our tour and Konstantinos had a seemingly endless supply of cold water to offer us. He was a wonderful guide— very knowledgeable and interesting. He arranged the stops in a way to maximize our time and to see as much as possible. He’s was also flexible to accommodate our needs and wants during our 5 hour tour. I would absolutely recommend this tour and Konstantinos as a guide. It was a fabulous way to get to know Athens — especially on a very hot Summer day.

Booked Athens City Tour with hotel pickup. Company changed driver and time last minute. Driver said he was just the taxi not a guide. We were too jet lagged to be dumped off at Parthenon.

The private 1/2 day tour was perfect for our little group. Andreas really did an outstanding job of showing us the highlights of Athens and providing historical insight. He was also wonderful with our group including our 1 year old grandson

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Perfect start to our vacation!

Elizabeth_S, Jun 2023

We had an absolutely wonderful experience! Andreas was friendly, punctual, informative, and provided EXCELLENT communication before and throughout our tour. He drove us all around Athens to the must-see sites...and also enabled us to head off on our own to shop in the Plaka. We always knew exactly when and where to meet back up with him. His local expertise helped us maximize our time in Athens, which, sadly, was too short as we crammed in this sightseeing before embarking a cruise. This is a flexible way to see and do what YOU want without the stress of renting a car -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
