Private Tour with Theo

We did a private tour with Theo, who provided us with such an exciting experience that was tailored well to our preferences. On the way to the Temple of Poseidon from Athens, we stopped in cute neighborhoods, for delicious coffee, and at hidden beaches for photos. Theo is kind, passionate about his city, and will put great effort to ensure you have a fantastic experience on his tour. 10/10 recommend.

Awmazing tour and experience to the Acropolis and Parthenon.

Lisa, our guide, was exceptional! Her knowledge of the Acropolis, Parthenon and Greece was incredible. We truly enjoyed the experience especially her assistance with me, along with my husband, in going down from the Acropolis. I still can’t believe we did it! We were sorry we didn’t add in the ticket for the museum. Make sure you book both!

Best host & Experience!

Kosta was an excellent host. Our day began with on time pick up and a run through of all he had planned for us . Quickly asked if the itinerary was fine and if we wanted to do anything else. He had planned the perfect day and gave us the right amount of time and tips at each spot. We learned so much of Athens and its rich history. Somehow he managed to always get us front and center for great views and pictures. A storm came through when we visited the acropolis and as we hurried to get back he was right there waiting as he promised. He made great alternative plans during the storm for us to continue to experience Athens. We had a fun filled educational day with Kosta riding in his very comfortable and clean Mercedes. Highly recommend!

From the airport right to the coast :-)

We had a wonderful day with Panos exploring the southeast coast of Greece. They were very accommodating and were able to pick us up right from the airport to take us straight to the excursion.. The vehicle was very comfortable as well. Overall, I recommend this excursion.

Lake time

The facilities are neat and well kept, the staff are friendly, efficient and helpful. The experience of having your feet and knees nibbled is fun. The smash burger I had was huge and fantastic as was the sangria. Definitely worth the money in my opinion but this is my first time traveling abroad and I'm all about new experiences. We visited when the weather was a little cool so the water was a little chilly but we put on our suits and got in and there were plenty of people swimming despite the chilly water. There are changing cabanas and showers.

Terrific tour of Corinth!

This is an excellent tour, especially if you are interested in knowing about the acts of the Apostle Paul in relation to Corinth. Our tour guide was Peter. He picked us up promptly at the Piraeus port and proceeded to tell us a chronological story about Corinth, its importance in trade, and perhaps the reason Paul put so much effort into birthing a church there. Peter was extremely patient with us, we never felt rushed. He took many pictures of me and my wife as we completed the tour. He answered our questions even if we asked the same ones multiple times. He suggested sites for us to visit and also incorporated sites we had on our list. I highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed!

Best tour guide we met

Our tour of Athens was a true highlight thanks to our guide. I forget her name but she was an absolute star- made sure we saw everything in the short time we had, recommended her favorite places to eat, o took great pictures of us and even brought us some Greek treats. New comfortable bus to top it all off. We felt like royalty!

Learned a lot about Athens

Our. Driver, Stefanos picked us up at our hotel and we immediately drove to the Acropolis where we spent about 1.5 hrs exploring the site. We returned to our meeting point and met our driver and we began out tour around Athens. We chose not to visit any more ancient sites though he was willing to take us anywhere we requested Instead we learned about the different neighborhoods in Athens. I.e markets, gov’t buildings, the home of the president, had our picture taken with the military guard there. had delightful stroll through the botanical garden ending near the Olympic stadium. We enjoyed views from the highest point in Athens. It was a very relaxing and a very informative tour. We returned to our hotel on time. Stefanos shared his love for his country and provided us with a great morning.
