Drivers are very experienced, friendly and knowledgeable about the Greek history, mythology and our culture. Love to share their knowledge and they will provide you with a lot of useful information but they cannot come with you inside the archaeological sites. In Greece drivers are not permitted to offer guide services within such premises, only licensed guides can and it is an extra service.

This is a Private Tour. Only for You and for Your Group.
Should you require the Services of a Professional Guide, who is Licensed to guide you within archaeological sites and/or Museums, this is an Additional Service. The Additional cost for the Licensed Tour Guide, Accredited with the Ministry of Culture, is 250 euros for 3 hours (Suggested Option), and for a Full day, at your entire disposal, 350 euros subject to availability.
Instead of including food in the tour price, we invite you to enjoy a meal at a lovely local tavern. With great quality, very reasonable prices, and a wide range of choices, you can simply order whatever suits your taste.
Instead of purchasing the tickets on your behalf and including them in the tour price, we will send you a booking link after your reservation and assist you in pre-buying your Acropolis Hill tickets. This allows you to skip long lines and secure your visit in advance. Many travelers are eligible for reduced or free admission—such as children and students up to 18 years old, and senior citizens from the European Union—so this approach ensures you don’t pay more than necessary.
This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate

Alex was early and very flexible. We had an unexpected health issue that impacted our options but he found a way to ensure we saw everything we hoped to see and more!

Wonderful Day

We had an absolutely amazing experience. Marco was incredibly warm and knowledgeable. Was completely professional and went out of his way to ensure we had a comfortable unique experience. Could not have been more satisfied.
