Stress Free Athens Experience

Patricia_S, Aug 2025
We had a great time exploring Athens with Petros. He did a great job getting us to all the sites in a timely and safe manner. He filled us in on different sites and events. Made for an awesome day of seeing all of Athen’s highlights with the ease of one driver. Definitely recommend if you want a stress free day.

We had a wonderful tour of Athens with Aggelos! He promptly met us at our pickup location and had us back to our ship in plenty of time. He took us too all the major sights and gave us the amazing history of Athens, Greece. We had plenty of time to explore. He provided insider tips like where to eat and shop!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you for your kind words! We are looking forward to seeing you on your next visit to Greece!!

Great experience & guide.

michael_w, May 2024
We visited many key sites from the birthplace of democracy. Our driver/guide was great and explained in great detail the history and other little known facts. He was also flexible when traffic was a problem and suggested alternatives. The Parthenon and changing of the guard were really interesting. If I went on another tour, I would request the same guide.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you for your kind words! It is great to know that you had a wonderful time! Hope to see you again soon!

Nothing short of amazing!

Jennifer_C, May 2024
Giannis was absolutely amazing as a driver/tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and so much fun. He knew of all the best places for us to eat and have coffee. He was also prepared for anything providing us with a portable WiFi for use as well as water and umbrellas since it was rainy during our visit. The sites we visited were nothing short of spectacular. I could not recommend this excursion more!
