Manos was very informative about explaining history & showing scenic views in Athens. His Mercedes was comfortable & clean. Great for couple who want to have a private tour like us! I strongly recommend to use him as a tour guide!
Thank you for your review! Gives us energy to continue
This was a lovely trip exploring the outskirts of Athens, stopping at various scenic spots before driving along the coast to reach the Temple of Poseidon. It was a beautiful spot with lovely views of the Aegean Sea. My guide, Giorgos Kalantzis, was very knowledgeable and a great guide! If you are short on time but want to get a sense of wider Athens and beyond, I would highly recommend!
George Fokas Professional Guide was so wonderful I want to suggest that his employer give to him a pair of over the calf black boots and a red cape BECAUSE HE IS SUPER!! In making the reservation I probably goofed up and we got signed up in error for the Acropolis tour when I was trying to do the Possiden Temple private tour . He called me to arrange Acropolis itinerary but quickly realized that was wrong and fixed it perfectly. He took us on a great tour and we did exactly what we wanted. He threw in some cool history of mythological nature. I give him my highest recommendation. My wife does too. I gave him 150 Euro tip if that tells you how good he was.
One of the highlights of our few-day stay in Athens—this is a must-visit! Breathtaking views and rich history await, all enhanced by our fantastic driver and guide, Manos. He shared fascinating myths and explained the significance of the site in detail. A wonderful experience all around!
We have been traveling for fifty years and this tour guide stood out as one of our best. Beautiful car. Excellent driver. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Easy to be with for several hours.
This was an our second tour with Eirini and equally as excellent as the first! A wonderful half trip to view the Greek coastline and see the Temple of Poseidon. Highly recommend!
