Aristotle Was our guide,...

Aristotle Was our guide, you could not ask for better. He is not only fully trained as a guide and driver but has a history degree. Who better to spend a day in Athens with? He is passionate, personable and truly cares that you have a great experience. If you do not have the opportunity to have Aristotle had your guide it is a missed opportunity. My wife and I choose to have private guides on almost every trip. We have no question he rates as one of the very top guides we’ve had and we’ve had many good ones.. Highly recommend and you will never be disappointed guiding is his true calling and I’m glad that we had time to spend with him. Without questioning, it was an awesome experience and obviously I highly recommend his services. Aristotle, I wish you luck and happiness in your life. You’re in the right space at the right time and I’m glad we were part of it..

Outstanding Acropolis Tour with Vallia

Our Acropolis tour with Vallia was one of the highlights of our vacation in Greece. It was an insightful, educational, and incredibly enjoyable experience. Vallia’s in-depth knowledge of the Acropolis, Greek mythology, and Greek history was impressive. What made the tour truly special, however, was the way she brought that knowledge to life. She blended history with humor, current events, multicultural references, and clever anecdotes that kept us engaged and entertained throughout the tour. Vallia is truly one of a kind. Her multilingual abilities, wonderful sense of humor, and unique storytelling style made the experience feel personal and memorable. Her references to everything from 4/9 to George Clooney added some unexpected laughs along the way! We learned so much while having a great time. Vallia made the history of the Acropolis come alive, and we would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens. A fantastic experience and a definite highlight of our trip!

Being in our 60’s I was a little concerned about walking up the Acropolis, but it was a great experience. Our tour guide(Vasili) was very knowledgeable about the site and conscious of stopping frequently, in shaded areas, to explain what we were seeing. I would not hesitate to do it again. The site is so interesting and beautiful it really is a must see.

Must do with Dr. Michael G

(Soon to be Dr. G) Michael was an amazing guide. He was super informative and great at maneuvering. Through the crowds that were building. He was able to integrate different aspects that we saw within the Acropolis with items from the museum. He was entertaining and engaging throughout the time. It didn't seem as though it was 4 hours. It blew by so quickly

Acropolis/Parthenon Tour

Vicki (Vasiliki) was our tour guide and she was amazing! She staged our walk up to the top of the Acropolis to keep us in the shade as much as possible, and went slowly enough so that no one was having difficulty keeping up with the group. Her audio equipment worked efficiently and she had an incredible knowledge of everything!

Fantastic all-day cruise…

We had a great experience from start to finish. The pickup was smooth, our driver arrived right on time, and the crew was friendly and helpful, getting us boarded quickly and without any hassle. The islands themselves were beautiful, and we loved every minute exploring them. Swimming in the crystal-clear water was a highlight, and lunch on board was fantastic too. We would highly recommend this trip if you're looking for a well-organized, relaxing day out on the water.
