Excellent tour by Nickolas. He is very knowledgeable and times the stops appropriately to maximize the benefit. We highly recommend him!
Nicolas was very knowledgeable and took great care to show us the best spots of Athens and surrounding points of interest
We had the most amazing time in Athens on our 1st day. We did so many things- one of my favorites was the Changing of the Presidential Guards. Definitely a group you need to book with.
Saw everything efficiently and effectively. Great tour and hospitality!
A perfect day with our guide, Nikolas! Communication was effortless from start to finish. He shared in-depth interesting information about local history, nature and culture. He brought Athens to life with narratives rather than just listing facts. He tailored our nine hour experience to be exactly what we wanted. He went above and beyond, assisting with logistics, event tickets and recommending local restaurants. Nikolas was outstanding in every aspect.
Nikolas is the ultimate professional! He is prompt, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable of Athens history and important places to visit. We recommend Nickolaos for anyone wanting an indepth tour of Athens. Thank you for a wonderful day 😃
