Athens by night was beautiful and Aristotle made it a superb experience.
The Parthenon illuminated at night was amazing. The changing of the guard and Athens overlook were also excellent. Aristotle, our guide and personal “Presidential Guard” was very knowledgeable and passionate about all the sights he took us too. He is one of the best guides we’ve had during our 14 international travel trips.

Historic, romantic, and enjoyable and by far, the best tour value in town
My fiancee and I really enjoyed the " surprises" that Aristotle (our guide) included on our tour and made the night so memorable. The history, brought to life by the narration of our guide, made us feel like we were stepping back in time. Aristotle was professional, courteous and full of warmth. Highly recommend!

Nice comfortable car ride with driver
As tour description stated "non smoking Mini Van, Mercedes Benz, Full air conditioned. I was going to give 3 stars as this cannot be considered tour bur rather car service. But I read the description carefully and they delivered exactly as it stated, nothing more, nothing less. On the other hand Viator "what's included" list is wrong. There is no TV in the car, no Wifi service was provided and no soda was offered. We saw two bottle of water sitting at the cup holder, so water bottle service is covered. our escort did great job at recommending Greek traditional dinner place. It was the best dinner we had during our 10 days trip in Greek. I would recommend this tour if you don't want to take taxi and need English speaking escort to let driver know where to go. Do not misunderstood, we did have a very comfortable evening, and you would normally have to spend 50 eruo per hour for private car service. I just want to make sure this is not Guided Tour and there is no special arrangement or plan by this tour. The driver hardly spoke and escort did answer our questions and plan for where we wanted to go for evening but did not engage in conversation.
