A long day, worth the money. Our driver picked us up at 9am sharp and we did not get back to hotel until 6pm. Incredible scenery of outside of Athens. We saw so much history in Ancient Corinth, which the Romans destroyed in 146 BC and had an authentic, late in the afternoon, Greek lunch near a seaport, which was a great ending to this tour.

Awesome sights with and even better driver
David_P, May 2024
I have to admit that when i booked this i wasn't sure what to expect and even thought about cancelling.
I am glad i didn't, it was totally worth it and our Driver Fotis was awesome, he made the trip worth it. He was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Really enjoyed all the sights we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise.
We were staying in Athens for a few days before taking a cruise and my son wanted to venture out away from Athens to see some of the sight and thats why we booked this.
Fotis was awesome, great guy, even better driver and very knowledgeable of Greek history.
If you get Fotis as your driver you wont be disappointed

Corinth canal is a must see. Ask for Costa.
sp_C, Apr 2024
Our driver, Costa, was one of the best drivers that we had. A good driver and extremely friendly. He was patient and we never felt rushed at all. The drives seemed short due to our conversations with Costa. He also made the effort to personally guide us to the town square of Nafplio.

Karen_F, Apr 2023
We had a wonderful time with Thanos and Vasilis! They were warm and welcoming, and we never felt rushed at all on our trip. Thanos even offered some oranges from his family’s garden! We particularly liked Nafplio and the castle—the sun was glinting on the water as we looked over the historic town…. Well worth the trip!
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience with "My Athens Transfers". Greetings from Thanos and Vassilis. We hope to see you again.

A good insight into Greek History and culture
John_F, Oct 2022
Our trip was enhanced by our excellent driver and the knowledge that we had a reliable service which was more than value for money. Our visits began with a stop at th Corinth Canal and then a visit to the city of Corinth itself. We had good views of Argos with its acropolis and a good luch was provide in the city of Nafplio with its fortresses. The magificent theatre at Epidaurus rounded off a wonderful day. A great trip much recommended.

Not really a tour - more...
Christine_M, Aug 2022
Not really a tour - more of a cab ride. Driver was friendly and accommodating. Entrance Fees required along the way - a very long day. Lunch provided but parameters were unclear.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry we did not meet your expectations.
We would like to mention the following:
The duration of the tour is explicitly stated on the product page, and the sites that require admission fees are also described in the itinerary.
We do not understand the unclear parameters about the lunch, our driver made suggestions to you and the final decision was up to you.
In the additional information field, it is stated that "Our drivers are not official tour guides, but they are knowledgeable and can provide fascinating commentary in fluent English. Although they will not enter the sites with you, they can answer your questions about the places you visit with this tour.".
The licensed tour guide is offered on request with an additional cost, but you did not ask for one.
This is an extremely popular product, and our drivers are professionals with a lot of experience, especially with this product.
Thank you and we hope next time you are more aware of the product you book as this review is not indicative of our services.

Ancient Corinth, Epidaurus and Nafplio Private Tour
MaryGrace_M, Jul 2022
Beautiful sights and fortresses to go to. I was expecting to learn more about the places I went to. However, it ended to just have a driver and take pictures on your own everytime he'll drop you off at the sights. The driver will just stay in the car and will give you the timing to get back after touring each place.
I was a bit disappointed with how the driver/guide showed irritability, negativity and impatience. He started off my tour by saying, "I hate Athens".
He also asked me twice, "where we will go next?" after visiting one site. I said, actually I have no idea what's next to visit. Then he told me with exact words, "you don't know?" (without smiling or laughing obviously as he was not wearing a face mask). Then I kept quiet managing my emotions/mood because I don't want to ruin my day.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thank you for taking the time to review our services and share your experience with us.
We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations, but we would like to mention the following:
- This tour does not include a licensed tour guide that can accompany you to the sites. This is explicitly stated in the product page "Our drivers are not official tour guides, but they are knowledgeable and can provide fascinating commentary in fluent English. Although they will not enter the sites with you, they can answer all your questions about the places you visit with this tour."
- You did not ask for a licensed tour guide, which is optional. This is stated as well on the product page.
- Our driver, Tom, is one of our most experienced guides that has provided this tour more than 600 times with more than 300 5-star reviews. You can confirm this by checking his reviews.
- Our driver asked you many times how you would like to customize your itinerary and spend more time to places you liked most. You have not expressed any desire to change the itinerary and the tour lasted more than 9 hours.
- Regarding the phrase "I hate Athens" that seemed negative to you, you have forgotten to write it in full: "I hate Athens due to traffic". We do not think this is as negative as you believe.
- Face mask is not obligatory any more in our country and of course our drivers put them on if the client asks for it. You did not say anything and additionally you were not wearing a mask also.
We believe this review is not indicative of our services. We hope to enjoy the rest of your trip.
Great tour

Over priced Chauffer service
Raumin_G, Apr 2022
Its a good itinerary, but keep in mind this is not a tour as the description says. Its more of a chauffer service with a basic guide. It is good service if you do not want to rent a car. A bit over priced for what it is.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We take your point into account and feel sorry we did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to note that a licensed tour guide that can accompany you to the archaeological sites and provide a better experience is provided on an optional basis, but you did not ask for one.
The product description explicitly states that our drivers are not official tour guides, but they are knowledgeable and can provide fascinating commentary in fluent English. Although they will not enter the sights with you, they can answer all your questions about the places you visit with this tour.
Regarding the price we would like to point out that is one of the best on the market. The quality of this private tour makes it a value for money product for a traveler that is looking for a "good" itinerary as you mentioned.
Worthwhile trip to the south
Linda_G, Apr 2022
We really enjoyed Akrokorinthos. Hiking up the hill to the castle was awe inspiring. The hike is rather strenuous so be sure you are in good walking shoes and in good health.
Our guide, Anthony, was knowledgeable and explained each site before we visited it. We really enjoyed our day.
