Aten Heldags privat tur

Andreas and Petros were excellent driver and guide. They customized our excursion with our wishes. We were able to visit a local bakery for delicious treats and coffee based Andrea’s knowledge of the area. He taught us about the Greek culture in sensitive and meaningful way. We appreciated his knowledge of the city and his helpful tips to navigating the big sites. As soon as he picked us up his warm personality and his humor put us all at ease for a fantastic day. In an intimate setting where we felt right at home. We all would all give 10/10 stars and highly recommend this excursion. Mary Frances S

Our guide, Dionisis, made our full-day tour of Athens unforgettable. He was so informative, knowledgeable and fun. We saw all the major sights, including an up-close viewing of the changing of the guard ceremony at the presidential palace. We were traveling with my 88-year old mother, and Dionisis was so thoughtful in the way he assisted her, especially when she chose to skip the Acropolis.

One of the very best guided tours we have ever experienced! Our guide Dionisis was exceptional, his knowledge and personal experiences gave us an additional appreciation for what we were seeing. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful and exceptional tour experience!!

An excellent experience. Our guide Dionisis was absolutely marvelous. Loved his way of describing what we were going to see and do. Had some excellent suggestions about how to see the various sites we visited. Really went above and beyond. One of the best tours I have ever taken.

Fantastic tour. We had a fantastic guide in Aristotle. Start as early as possible.. I suggest 7:30 AM. As most sites open at 8 AM . the crowds intensify after 9 AM because of the big groups at the best spots. There’s a big difference between licensed guides and non-licensed guides in the quality of the tours.. there are steps that have to be navigated, but it’s not terrible. Eat at a local Greek lunch somewhere. The extra add-ons for the VIP passes and the personal guide was worth it.. you can get all the big things done in one day in Athens that way you use an extra day to relax. I think the changing of the guard is better at the back gate then the front gate because you’re closer and less crowded.

This was the best city tour I have ever done! Aristotle was our fabulous guide and he deserves more than 5 stars. His passion and knowledge of Athens was unsurpassed and he made sure that our entire group of x12 had an unforgettable day exploring the city. He was flexible, kind, knowledgeable and professional. I cannot imagine our time in Athens without Aristotle. He took us to local spots without the crowds and all of the magical viewpoints, recommended restaurants and activities, and gave us a great insight into being an Athenian. Thank you Aristotle - and our driver Ares - for a magical day.

Dionisis was an amazing tour guide. Very well versed in the cities history and it made the tour very enjoyable. He did a great job of explaining everything and giving us ample time to explore and take in the beautiful city. He is also very well prepared making sure everything is set in place to make everything seamless and also checks to make sure we are eating at a well reviewed restaurant.

We had the pleasure of having Aristotle as our Athens full day private tour guide. We were delighted that he was a licensed guide and being a history and archeology major, just what you want in Athens! His knowledge and enthusiasm about Athens, the sights and the history was evident all through our tour. We book private tours because we are genuinely interested in learning about the history and culture of our destination and the sights we are seeing. Aristotle more than provided that! It was a full day touring the city, seeing sights both large and small. In addition, We enjoyed a very nice lunch arranged by our guide. After lunch, we were treated to some wonderful views of the city and a special changing of the guard at the presidential palace and learned our guide, Aristotle had been a guard himself. He provided tremendous insight on the whole process and honor of being a guard, very special. My only caveat to the tour and nothing to do with our guide was that I had assumed our "full day tour" included tours of the historic sights and it did not. Aristotle was very up front about this from the start of the tour and we did pay extra to have him guide our tours of the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora for the extra charge which is not what we were expecting with when booking a private tour. It was a great tour of Athens with Aristotle!

Thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour. Nasos was our guide and he tailored the tour to our desires and gave us the insider tour of Athens. He included many "surprises" that were all fun and interesting and were experiences that we never would have had by ourselves. It is always fun to make a personal connection with a local guide and meet a new friend, which is exactly what happened.

From the moment our tour started, Aristotle was prompt but not pushy, professional but also fun, knowledgeable but not condescending. He is the model of what every tour guide should attempt to emulate. A proud Athenian, through and through, who loves his country, his history, his family, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide to help us navigate our limited time in this beautiful, ancient city. This tour is a must if you wish to see as much of the highlights of Athens, in a short, albeit 8 hours, span of time. If we ever find ourselves in Athens again, we’ll have to reach out to Telis to grab some dinner!
