Private Tour that does not disappoint.
We were impressed with every aspect of our Private Tour. Dimitrios arrived at our meeting place in a beautiful Mercedes Sedan and was so welcoming. He confirmed if we had booked Acropolis, and shaped the day to accommodate. We could not have had a better experience, highly recommend booking this Private Tour.

History - Culture - Yamas!
This was such a wonderful day with Dimitri. His communication the day of kept us informed and prepared. He was our driver, guide, historian, cultural expert, and more. A native of Athens, he treated us as family and took great care of us throughout our entire visit. There was something for everyone in our family. I received a full history lesson. My sister had her full cultural experience. And mom enjoyed a safe and customized escort throughout Athens. As an addition to our trip we were able to have an authentic Greek meal with a wonderful harbor view. We even learned so Greek. Ignore my spelling: Eff-harry-sto!

A Passion for Athens
Konstantinos was a Prince!
He knew where I wanted to go before I knew myself.
Knowledgeable about Athens and passionate about Greek history, Konstantinos was the perfect intermediary between a first-time visitor and this beautiful, significant city.
He knew where to go and how to get the perfect access.
My pictures should credit Konstantinos.
This was a perfect day!

I would highly recommend...
I would highly recommend this tour if you are short on time in Athens. We were able to see all the highlights in one morning/afternoon (about 5 hours). If you can, ask for Thoukis to be your tour guide. He was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. When he heard my husband loved soccer and loved to visit stadiums he went out of his way to take us to a stadium and shop at the team store. He gave us a great recommendation for lunch and shopping after the tour and gave us suggestions for places to go in the evening.

Nick was an awesome tour guide, he made sure we seen everything that was promised. Nick was very knowledgeable about Greek history and a pleasure to chat with. He never rushed us through the tour and encouraged us to take our time and take pictures, he took us to many places where there was great photo opportunities. I would recommend this tour and Nick.
