Used Compass for our airport transfers. Would definitely recommend and use again. Cool bus, cold water and friendly driver. Thank you
Lina was our tour guide and Sypros was our driver. Both of them were amazing. Our 18 year old daughter joined us and really enjoyed the tour. Note: if you are paying by card - it’s tap only. Try to have cash or pay ahead of time :-)
George is a very kind person...he is very well informed about everything that could interest someone...he is a high educated professional and i would recommend him and the company for sure.
