How do we meet our driver i.Airport After collecting your luggage and clearing customs, if necessary, you will be directed to the public lounge. There you will see many people waiting for the passengers some of them holding up signs with names on them. Your driver will be there holding a sign with your name or whatever else you choose to be on it. Please make sure that you have my phone number with you and let me know immediately if you think something is not in order, for example, an especially long wait for your luggage, or even missing luggage. The driver will wait for you till 90 minutes after your plane lands. If for some reason you miss your flight or your flight is cancelled or scheduled for a long delay please contact me and let me know of your new flight details. This way you will avoid being charged. ii. Cruise terminals There are two different terminals for cruise ships, Terminal A and Terminal B. Please exit from the gate that your cruise ship has docked. You will meet our driver in the public area just outside the gate, after clearing with customs (if necessary). The driver will be holding a sign with your name on it. Please take special care to verify with the driver that he is from our group. Sometimes, when a surname is common, visitors get mixed up and follow a different driver! Again make sure that you have my phone number with you and let me know immediately if you think something is not in order. iii. Hotels Picking you up from a hotel is usually much easier than from anywhere else. We usually park the car in front of the hotel and meet there. Most of the time Doormen knows us and can direct you to us too. However, some hotels don’t have sufficient parking space at their main entrance and in case the driver does not find you in front of the hotel then he will make a small circle and come back again. This only takes a few minutes. Rest assured that he will be there for you. iv. Ferries When disembarking from the ferry there is usually great commotion. People and cars disembark at the same time. For safety reasons, port authorities do not allow people waiting to approach very near. Your driver will be waiting for you with a sign with your name at the nearest possible spot. Please take a look around as soon as you get off the ferry.

Michal is very good driver, knows the time it takes to go to places at any given time of the day. Always stops as close to the destination as he can and tries to adjust to the needs of the group. Also can be funny sometimes.

Michael provided an excellent tour of Athens. From the time he picked us up from the hotel in the morning, until he returned us, Michael provided us with a great day. He took us to all the city sights. He was knowledgeable of all the Greek history/ mythology. He is fluent in Engliah and knowledgeable in French and German. Michael has a great sense of humor. I would recommend his company any time.

Fantastic services - very professional person and showed us all the places as per the package and told us the history. I will recommend them 100% if you are visiting Athens in a day or more.
We are very happy to hear that you had a fantastic experience on our Athens Full Day Tour! Thank you for your kind words and for recommending us to fellow travelers. We can't wait to welcome you back to Athens!
Michael is the key to a fabulous day touring sites in Athens (& elsewhere as well) !!! His extensive knowledge of Athens and Greek history adds immeasurably to the experience as do the very comfortable and well-stocked large Mercedes vans that he uses to escort you to sites, and if you wish, a fabulous authentic Greek meal in a local family run taverna frequented by Michael and his family. What a joy to have a guide that treats you like family !
Thank you for your wonderful review, I hope to see you again soon, may God bless you
