Theodore is the most amazing travel guide you will find to show you around Athens His knowledge about Athens and Greece is second to none I would highly recommend and I will definitely be using him again !
We had a wonderful time with Andreas. He was exceptionally patience. Very courteous and had a good knowledge of the area. He went above and beyond and showed aid the major attractions in such a start time short time. I would highly recommend this company.
Such an amazing tour of Athens and airport pickup/drop off package. We were a large family with small children and this tour was perfect. Comfortable and fun! I would highly recommend to anyone wanting knowledgeable service and English speaking driver and guides.
Theodore and his team were excellent . We did a multi day tour and everything was arranged with comfortable vehicles . Door to door service plus shared in depth knowledge about Greek culture and mythology made the trip memorable. Ty Theodore we hope to return soon.
Theodore and Costa were very informative and friendly. By the end of the day we felt like they were part of the family. We were a family group of 9 people, so Theodore organised a 2nd vehicle to accommodate us. They made sure all our needs were met and they truly are very knowledgeable about all the sites we went to see. We would highly recommend them🤩🇬🇷
I can’t rave enough about Exceptional Tours. Theodore made us feel like we now have a new family in Greece. We were taken to places I never knew existed. Introduced to the coffee, the food, the myths and the beauty of Greece. I will never forget my fascination with Athena the Ancient Greek goddess. And now I can say - thanks to Theodore - I know why they call it “extra virgin olive oil”. I will let you hear the story from him. Not only was he our tour guide he picked us up and dropped us off at airport, and picked us up and dropped us off on our cruise ship. Theodore set up tours for us in Santorini which was just as spectacular and beautiful as Greece. He checked in on us when we were on our own in Greece before the cruise, and was there to meet us as we got off the ship. Theodore even went above and beyond on the last day in Greece helping me find Greek basketball cards for my grandsons. Stopping at every kiosk along our tour. I would never use anyone else’s services in Greece . I feel like we left Greece knowing and seeing things I never dreamed of and also left behind a new family member.
We cannot recommend Exceptional Tours Greece highly enough! Theodore planned an incredible two 1/2 days Athens experience for our family and made everything completely seamless from start to finish. He picked us up promptly from our cruise ship, handled all the logistics, purchased our tickets, and created an itinerary that allowed us to see everything we wanted to see in Athens in a short amount of time. As he drove us around the city, he shared fascinating information about the sights and history, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. One of the highlights was the outstanding private guide, Nancy, he arranged for us at the museums and the Agora. Theodore took us to authentic local restaurants that served some of the best food we had during our time in Greece. What truly set Theodore apart was his exceptional customer service. He was incredibly accommodating when we needed to adjust our pickup time, and he even provided transportation to the airport at the end of our stay. He was always friendly, personable, and kind, and after every stop in the Athens heat, we returned to the car to find cold bottles of water waiting for us. Theodore made Greece an unforgettable experience for us. His attention to detail, hospitality, and genuine care for his guests are unmatched. If you’re visiting Athens and want a stress-free, personalized, and memorable experience, Exceptional Tours Greece is the way to go!
From the moment I received my first response to my web inquiry, I realized that I had found the right company to guide us through the 3 days we would be spending (pre Adriatic cruise) in Athens. “At your service” was an understatement! Door to door service for me and my wife,, expert guide with in depth knowledge of the history, understanding that 1/2 day tours may work better for us because of our 7 hr time zone difference. Our beachside dinner just below the Temple of Poseidon, followed by sunset photos was a true highlight of our 3 days! THANK YOU THEODORE!
We booked with Theodore at Exceptional tours I can’t say enough good things about this company. The cost was very reasonable. Constantine was our guide on all five tours that we chose. The owner Theodore met with us at several locations to ensure we were enjoying our tour. Constantine was professional, courteous, happy and EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE. He made the tours come alive with the history of Greece. FANTASTIC COMPANY AND GUIDE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Theodore was great with communication and our guide for the day Cos was so knowledgeable. We had a family of six with grandparents all the way down to a 2 year old. The team catered to each group and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Our driver even came back to our hotel after drop off when we realized we left a pair of sunglasses in the car. Athens is massive but we left feeling like we had a great feeling for the city thanks to the tour we booked with Theodore and Cos. 5 stars. Fully recommend!
