We enjoyed our experience with Theo very much! Not only he is funny, knowledgeable and knows all of the hidden gems of Athens! He is very kind and caring as well, he helped us to minimize the time of waiting and traveling between the amazing places to temple of Poseidon and very tasty local restaurant and gelato place. When we are back next time, we surely will be contacting Theo again. Thank you Theo for your amazing work, we truly enjoyed it!

Our driver was fantastic. He was put in an uncomfortable spot in that car did not have proper working AC making the drive horrible. When I contacted the business to let them know they told me I was wrong and that it’s just hot outside. We have been in multiple vehicles today at peak heat with no issue. After paying for a private outing completely unacceptable customer service. I would not book simply because I don’t believe the business will fix the vehicle. I would go on the outing. Beautiful coastline, interesting information (we missed because we were so uncomfortable we could not engage), interesting historical site. Great place to sit and grab a drink and stare into the sea. Book through a different buisness.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Please note that as per our conversation, our cars are brand new and are very well maintained. We have top reviews and we use the car every day. If the car had a problem, probably someone else would also have noticed and advised. So we immediately took the car to the Mercedes workshop. Car works perfect and the A/C is high end. We have the certification of the Mercedes workshop and photos of the 4,6 Celcious Degrees that it achieves. It woudl be great to recall your review as it doesnt do justice to our company and cars. Thank you so much and we wish you a pleasant time in Greece.
Giorgos was an absolute gem! And the trip was exceptional. Dinner before was the best meal we’ve had in Greece. All in all, a perfect evening.

Our family of three really enjoyed the trip with Harry. The sunset views at the temple are amazing and the gelato we had afterwards was the best we have had anywhere.

This was our first tour while in Athens and it was a perfect way to start our vacation. Theo was extremely knowledgeable and told us all the things we needed to make sure we see, pointing them out on our way out of the city to help us get our bearings. He selected a restaurant for us that was perfect, with a great view and wonderful hospitality. The views at the Temple are spectacular and Theo timed everything perfectly so we felt like royalty from start to finish. And pick up/drop off right at our hotel was the icing on the cake. The scenery on the drive is also spectacular. Theo went above and beyond to show us beautiful sights, he took great photos for us, and told us so much about what we were seeing along the way. It was a very relaxing and special tour.
