Nikki did a great job. Very thorough and knowledgeable. We had a very nice time. The Acropolis was impressive and Nikki helped bring it alive. So interesting.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We will of course pass them on to Nikki ! It was a pleasure to have you on this tour and hope you enjoy your holiday in Greece.
We learned a lot of history and culture from our guide who was an archeologist. He was friendly and provide great detailed information in the museum and on the acropolis.
We were picked up promptly from our hotel and had a wonderful tour of the city. Our guide pointed out all the historical sites and gave us the history behind everything. We stopped and got out to visit the sites we wanted and our guide went with us to answer any questions and take pictures. She was great! Our tour ended with a guided tour of the Acropolis which was amazing! She was so knowledgable in the Acropolis museum and hit all the highlights - highly recommend!
Our local tour guide Stephanie was awesome! I know you can also do a walking tour by yourselves but nothing beats doing it with someone who knows about the history of the places/landmarks you won't even notice if you are on your own.
IOANNA KATOCHIANOU was AMAZING. She was knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining. I would highly recommend her as a guide and would rate her a 5/5. AMAZING
This tour exceeded our expectations in every way. It was personalized, informative, adapted to my husband’s mobility needs, engaging for our 13 year old and tailored to us in every way. I’ve done the big group tours in Athens before; this tour was 1000% better.
We were a group of 8 traveling together and took this tour the first full day we were in Athens. Our driver and guide were both fantastic. We truly enjoyed this tour. Without the knowledge of the driver and our guide, in consideration of the considerable traffic in Athens, we would not have been able to enjoy the highlights Athens has to offer.
The acropolis museum and acropolis!!! Fantastic !! Our guide Dina was amazing and knowledgeable!!! She navigated us through crowds and traffic. Our driver Odysseus was outstanding. Highly recommend!
Our private tour lead by Sotiris Pirounias was phenomenal. He was sooo knowledgeable and engaging. I could listen to him talk all day! He even took photos for us and found the best viewpoints. We would never have learned nearly as much if we had not had his expertise. Our driver was also very professional. 10/10
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our services, and for your kind words. It was a pleasure to operate this tour for you. Look forward to seeing you back in Greece soon!
Our guide and driver were on time with a fabulous mini bus to take us around. Our guide (sorry don’t remember name) was one of the best. Gave us the right amount of info and made sure we made it to the top (patients with my parents and walking). Couldn’t ask for a better afternoon.
