Thought this was going to be more of a tour, but it was really just hiring a driver. Had no idea the lake visit was a place to hang out and swim. Pricey anyway 17 euros for each person. Should have just rented a car and made our own tour so we could have visited one of the many beach spots along the Riviera
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to clarify a few points regarding your booking. Your reservation does not include a licensed tour guide. It includes a private driver who provides useful information about the places you visit and pass through, such as the Athens Riviera, Lake Vouliagmeni, and the Temple of Poseidon. Regarding Lake Vouliagmeni, the entrance fee is indeed €17 per person. This fee is charged by the lake and is not related to our company or our service. The €17 entrance fee is clearly mentioned in the booking information, as is the fact that you can swim in the lake’s natural waters and relax there. Our tour description does not state that a visit to one of the beaches along the Athens Riviera is included. Nevertheless, if you had requested it from the driver, we could have adjusted the itinerary accordingly, depending on the available time. For this reason, we believe that your review does not accurately reflect the private service you booked. It seems that perhaps you were looking for a different type of experience, such as a group tour with a licensed tour guide and scheduled stops at the beaches along the Athens Riviera. We would also like to mention the generous tip that was given to the driver, which indicates that you were satisfied with the service he provided. We are always happy to adapt a private itinerary to our guests’ preferences whenever possible, and we regret that your expectations were different from the service described and booked.
