Do It!

Suzi_M, Apr 2025

This trip is so worth it! I knew seeing Athens would be beautiful but there is nothing like seeing it at night! Dimitris was our tour guide and we loved him so much! I would highly recommend it!

So far 2 out of 3 tours we booked with them somehow was cancelled by them.

Barbara_H, May 2024

Terrible, they never showed up at our hotel for our tour! We were very disappointed! 2 trips out of 3 tours we booked with them have been cancelled by them.

Great Introduction To Athens At Night

Christopher_G, Nov 2023

This was an excellent introductory driving tour of the city at night with stops at major sites, including sweeping views of the Acropolis and city from Mount Lycabettus. Dimitris was prompt and drove us safely around the city while giving us important and interesting facts about landmarks and neighborhoods. We recommend Dimitris and this tour.

Athens at Night

Louis_L, Sep 2023

Great tour. We saw all of the highlights. Lighting of the monuments is phenomenal. Our guide knew the city well and was able to navigate around multiple obstacles...Road work, etc. Well worth the price of the tour
