Being the first time visiting Athens, we did not know what to expect. But from the get go, our tour leader Mr. Dimitris Gkiolas was amazing. Before we went to each attraction, he gave us a preview by means of a running commentary whilst driving of what to expect, what the story & history was behind those famed archeological sites & even myths surrounding them. The tours were well-timed giving us enough time to take lots of pictures & appreciating them. Mr Gkiolas was informative, & very knowledgeable & answered all our questions well. He was friendly & was even willing to go overtime so that we can complete all our visits. He even recommended a lunch venue that was inexpensive, yet the cuisine was superb. in all, the trip was made memorable through the friendliness & advice of Mr Gkiolas. Well done Dimitris.

Best 8 hours in Athens
We had just 24 hours in Athens, and this 8 hours tour was ideal for us. We managed to see all these great monuments and buildings while enjoying a sunny autumn day in the city, with a highly professional, experienced, informative and polite driver and guide. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to enjoy Athens in a convenient, safe, and relaxing way.

Such a perfect day in Athens!
Stavros took me and my party around Athens. We visited all major sights (Acropolis, Parthenon, Temple of Zeus, Old Olympic Stadium and more), saw the changing of the guards and had lunch in Plaka. We learned so much and had such a fun time with our driver who was funny, full of knowledge and gave his best to make our day perfect!
