Michael_M, Nov 2026

Exceptional- not to be missed.

Awesome tour with an incredible guide ( Vassilis). His knowledge of history and the Athens / Greek culture were keys to a wonderful excursion. Timing was perfect for getting to and from focal destinations was seamless. Our free time was in a wonderful urban marketplace where we enjoyed a spectacular lunch. So much appreciation to Vassilis and our incredible driver for negotiating traffic in a very congested city.

Great tour of Athens

We did this our first day in Athens and I thought it was a really good tour to get us knowledgeable about the area. We got the major things we needed to see done and then we had time to go back and spend more time on things we wanted to see more later in the week(Acropolis museum). Our guide was fabulous and gave us some follow-up input and was very nice and helpful. The picture he took of us overlooking the viewpoint of the Acropolis is our favorite picture of us as a couple we've had this entire trip. He found a great location for us to watch the changing up the guard and explained what was going to happen. So many interesting areas he pointed out. Kind of a behind the scenes input.

Problem with Acropolis tickets

Excellent tour and Theodore was a first class driver and guide as I have already reviewed but I have just seen the review from someone else who ended up paying twice for Acropolis tickets.It has nothing to do with this tour company as tickets have to be booked separately with Hellenic Heritage but we had the same problem of arriving to be told our tickets weren't valid and we had to buy new ones Other travellers need to check their tickets carefully or HH need to make booking easier.

Fabulous half day private tour with Elias in Athens

We had a fantastic private tour of Athens with our amazing guide, Elias. We started the Sunday morning with a prompt pick up in front of our hotel, and we were picked up in a new e-class Mercedes stocked with drinks and umbrellas to use during our tour (which we needed!). Elias is a true history buff, and gave us so much information about all the historic sites as well as how the city of Athens works, in comparison to many US cities. He knows the city backwards and forwards and tailored the tour for us based on weather and our interests. We felt very safe, and appreciated how he drove us to the front of many sites to get in and out quickly. We were very impressed with Elias and would definitely book him again if we go back. Find Elias and his team!

Seeing Athens with a personal guide

Our tour with Dennis was enjoyable. We were able to spend considerable time at the Parthenon and tailor the rest of our tour to our wishes. He had lots of information to share and presented many options to visit. We saw the changing of the guard at the presidential Palace and the Olympic Stadium as well.

Excellent 4 hour tour to see all the essential sights in Athens

Great tour of historical Athens led by two archeologists, one specifically to discuss the Parthenon and the surrounding classic area, the second for the rest of the city tour. Both spoke perfect English which made it significantly better than other local tours. The stories from mythology were well presented and I felt like the history of Athens was explained well. Both tour leaders were friendly, personable and professional.

Delphi and Meteora Private Day Trip from Athens including Dinner

Kayt_H, Oct 2026

What stunning places we...

What stunning places we saw! Delphi and Meteora are definitely worth the trip, and the private tour was great to avoid all the large groups. We even got to stop at Thermopylae. Marselo was our driver, and he was genuinely a down to earth, lovely person. We had great conversation with him on the drive. For those thinking about spending an extra day to do this tour, we definitely recommend it to you.

Great excursion.

Great excursion. We took this on day of boarding cruise ship. Driver picked us up at hotel and for a small charge dropped us with luggage at cruise terminal. Great tour to visit the Corinth Canal, the waterside location where Paul baptized people. We then moved to the area on Corinth where Paul preached to the crowds. Finally we went to the ancient Corinth. Had a great lunch before drop off at the ship.

Great day in Athens

Great service with Nikki from the moment she meet us outside the terminal exit with a sign that had our name throughout the day when we were dropped off at the port. She had a wealth of knowledge and provides it with the right mix of amount, timing and value. The bus had comfortable new seats, AC and even a bottle of water. Well worth the cost which is much cheaper than the cruise ship.
