Panos was so kind and full of good information. He did the driving in a busy city and answered all of our questions !! This is a MUST here - he told us where to go, found great bathrooms when needed and full of great information!!! ❤️
Great day with Panos! Would highly recommend!
Thank you for the great feedback! We’re delighted you had such a lovely day with us. A simple recommendation like yours means a lot to our team, and we hope Greece will bring you back our way again! Warm Regards The Elegant Greek Tours Team
Last stop on our cruise. Booked this excursion with high hopes, and it did not disappoint! Our driver, Panos was prompt with picking us up from our cruise ship and immediately took us to get some breakfast where we had some wonderful Turkish coffee and pastries at a local shop called the Alchemist Cafe. We spent FAR too much money but it was well worth it... the baklava and Lemon Tart were the real standouts here. The van the 5 of us traveled in was VERY comfortable, AC worked well the whole day and Panos was very engaging and thorough during the ride around Athens. From start to finish, we saw quite a few historical sites and even made sure to stop and see the changing of the guard (highly recommend this - definitely a fun experience). Lunch was wonderful as well, we stopped at another spot that Pavos recommended called Gregory's - the sandwiches there were VERY good and they had a nice variety of things to choose from. Honestly, we were very sad when Panos had to drop us off at the airport for our flight to Bucharest, he did such a great job! When we come back to Greece we will be sure to book here again!
What a wonderful way to end your time in Greece! We’re so glad your day included not only the famous sights, but also some of those little local moments that make a trip memorable. From coffee and pastries to the changing of the guard and a good Greek lunch, it sounds like you made the most of your final hours in Athens. Thank you for trusting us with such an important part of your journey—we’ll be very happy to welcome you back to Greece! Warm Regards The Elegant Greek Tours Team
Excellent private tour of Athens. We saw a lot of interesting sites in 8 hours thanks to our excellent driver Panos. We also learned a lot about the history of Athens thanks to our knowledgeable and friendly guide Matina. I especially appreciate the care and assistance provided to our family since my mother uses a wheelchair and she uses the restroom/WC frequently. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an stress-free tour of Athens.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re especially glad that your family felt comfortable and well looked after throughout the day. We believe a private tour should adapt to each family’s needs, allowing everyone to enjoy Athens without feeling rushed or stressed. It was a pleasure to have you with us, and we’re very happy we could make your day easier and more enjoyable. The Elegant Greek Tours Team
Excellent in everyway. Timely and friendly transfer, extremely knowledgeable and informative, and flexible when we needed dining options and breaks.
Thank you for the lovely feedback! We’re happy that everything from the transfer to the sightseeing and the little breaks along the way made your day comfortable and enjoyable. We always want our guests to feel relaxed and free to enjoy Greece at their own pace. It was a pleasure having you with us! The Elegant Greek Tours Team
I give this a 100! The vehicle and driver were perfect! Anestis was very respectful and truly impressive in his role for our day with him. The local knowledge of how to get around very apparent and appreciated. We hired a local guide to ride along, Stefanos, who was beyond anything we could have possibly expected. His extremely knowledgeable explanation of everything we encountered was outstanding! If I ever come to Athens again, I’ll do everything I can to find these two for guidance again!
Thank you for your nice review. Its very important to us. We are glad that you enjoyed the Athens Private tour with us and we hope to see you and your friends in the future for more great days. All the best The Elegant Greek Tours Team
Our guide Panos was fantastic! Easy to reach and keep in touch with via WhatsApp. He picked us up right at the terminal and had a sign with my name on it. In the vehicle on the way to our stops, he shared his immense knowledge about things we would be seeing including illustrations, pictures and videos that he had prepared in advance on his tablet. He recommended a great authentic Greek family restaurant for lunch away from the tourist traps and booked a table for our party of 6. In the very comfortable vehicle he had bottles of water for us as well umbrellas for us to borrow which was needed. He also adjusted the itinerary according to our wishes and our whole international family group had a wonderful time. Thank you so much Panos!!
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We truly believe that when you love what you do, it shows—and our guides are passionate about sharing Greece, its history, culture, and hidden gems with every guest. We’re so happy that this passion came through and helped make your family’s day such a special one. It was a pleasure having you with us! Safe travels! 🇬🇷 The Elegant Greek Tours Team
