Our tour guide (driver) John went out of his way to to make our time with this tour exceptional and personal. He was very flexible and kind and showed us parts of Athens the normal tourist wouldn't see. He even took us to a local fast food eatery where all the drivers eat for a great, low cost lunch. What a wonderful guy who left us with memories of Athens we will treasure forever.

Our guide for the day was Sylvia—having someone like her is the only way to see Athens! She was energetic, enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable about the history, architecture, politics, and culture of Greece over the millennia. Just an amazing experience thanks to her. We really highly recommend seeing this amazing city with her or someone like her.

We took the tour on Sunday Nov 5th. It turned out to be a free day at the Acropolis. The crowds were crazy so we chose to skip it and go on our own the next day (turned out to be a great decision). Our driver Loukas tried to take us to Zeus' temple but there was a protest going on in the city center so he took us to see the Greek Rivera. There was an air show going on at the time. Overall the tour didn't go at all as planned but Loukas did a great job of changing things up as the day went on. We did get to Zeus and some other sites. With travel you just have to roll with it.

Great job by our tour guide. The Acropolis was amazing. The Zeus statue was a disappointment. Changing of the guard and Olympic stadium were also amazing. Good day.

This was our best tour in Greece. John, our tour guide, picked us up at the cruise terminal and wowed us the entire tour. He gave us info on all of our stops and drove perfectly through the streets of Athens. I highly recommend this company and John....

The key to making this a worthwhile tour was having an experienced guide take us to the sites. We were lucky to get a wonderful guide who made all the sights come alive for us and she timed everything so well - even taking us to a very local and very good spot for lunch. The expense of this tour covers only the driver - since the cost of the sights and the guide are all extra. That being the case, this was a very expensive experience - but the only way for us to get the most out of our one day in Athens.

Learning more about history. The traffic and general lack of parking. Very glad I didn’t have to drive in the city.
