Beautiful Athens

tuckerl002, Nov 2025
Andrew was a terrific guide. Even with my broken knee, he made sure to get us to all the sights as close as possible. He was even able to get me on the elevator at the Acropolis. It was a wonderful and enlightening experience.

Alex the Great

Timothy_D, Jun 2023
Our driver Alex brought history to life. He knew how to get around a busy town, where to park, where we should go for lunch, and went over and above by showing us historical photos of the famous sites we were seeing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and spoke great English. He tailored our tour to our families, specific needs and interests.

Athens in a Day!

Lara_W, Oct 2022
Andreas picked us and dropped us off very close to the boat. He dropped us off at the Acropolis so we could explore it on our own. We were able to walk around several other sites including the Temple of Zeus, took pictures in front of the Olympic Stadium and walked up Lycabettus hill to overlook Athens. (Prior to leaving home, we purchased combo tickets to get us into the Archaeological Sites - saved us a lot of time waiting in line) It was amazing! We only had 6 hours in Athens, but he definitely made us want to go back!!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear Mrs  Lara I am very happy that you gave me the pleasure of serving you . Many thanks for your excellent review !!! Kind Regards

One day in Athens

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear Sir Daniel It was my pleasure to guide you and show what I love and respect. Kind Regards

Awesome private tour of Athens

Patrick_M, Aug 2022
Andrew was an excellent tour guide of Athens. He took us in his private taxi all over Athens. We went to the beautiful area of the Acropolis and were the first to be there before the tourist. We saw the theater and the temple of Zeus with 16 pillars left out of 100. We saw a wonderful exchange of the guards away from the tourists, the Panathnaic stadium and parliament buildings. The Roman Tower of the winds and flea market was fun to explore. Lake Vouliagmeni is beautiful stop, and our lunch at the awesome Zaxos greek grill was perfect ending. thank you Andrew...You were awesome.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Dear Sir Patrick it was my pleasure guiding you and sharing what I admire and love. Keep travelling, All the best to you and your family. Sincerely yours - Andreas
