Fantastic Experience with Yiannis!

From Pickup to Dropoff, we enjoyed every moment spent with Yiannis! We weren't sure what we were doing or what was coming next, but everything he took us to, showed us was truly enjoyable and fun. His knowledge is amazing and boundless. We learned so much and he was willing to take questions so it wasn't just a speech or so memorized thing. I highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to have Yiannis, you will have a great time!

Great way to see Athens!

Perfect day seeing the sights of Athens. Elias was a great guide and very knowledgeable. It was our first time to Athens and it was so helpful to have this overview of the city. We also got tickets to enter the Acropolis and slopes and got a good explanation of everything we were going to see by Elias before we went in. It’s also a great way to beat the heat and still see the highlights of Athens. Highly recommend!

Lake Vouliagmeni Thermal Spa And Temple Of Poseidon Private Full Day Tour

Komal_K, May 2026

A Renewal of Life Experience

Thank you for assisting visitors like me who respect temples and the cultures that built them. The tiny fish at the thermal spa gave a great natural pedicure. As older traditions are of the people who built those temples, the respectful way of entering and cleansing at a thermal spa made it feel like being in a time capsule and experiencing history and culture in life.

Athens Sightseeing Small Group Tour (Acropolis Tickets Included)

Kelly_H, May 2026

Great tour if you only have a short time to spend in Athens

This was a really nice way to see some of the highlights of Athens if you only have a short time in the city. Beware - the Acropolis is insanely crowded, the marble is slippery, and there were no working bathrooms at the top, which seems to be the status quo. Our Acropolis guide, George, walked so fast and weaved in and out of the crowd like a local, resulting in a few people getting lost by the end of the tour, which was the only downside. Our other guide in the van was great and we loved the walking tour through Athens the best, as she provided a lot of information about the history of the area, current events, and recommended some areas to explore in our free time.

Swimming in Athens with a beautiful sunset

We had Miltos as our guide, he was nice to talk to and told great stories and even gave us recommendations on where to eat and go in Athens. The lake was 24°, chilly at first but very relaxing and nice. I would say the temple of Poseidon is a must see when you visit, especially if you go near sunset!
