5 star, highly recommended

Amy_C, Feb 2026
We had an amazing day exploring several historical sites with our guide Giorgos, who is super experienced, patient, and professional. He accommodated us to some other places we wanted to see, like the Marathon Run Museum, and recommended a fantastic lunch spot near the shore with fresh produce and seafood. It was the best lunch we’ve had in Greece! I highly recommend this tour!

Giorgios was excellent,...

Amanda_W, Nov 2025
Giorgios was excellent, he was right on time, opened the door for us and had water waiting in the car. A life long Athens native, he knew everything and anything we asked even things not related to the tour. He was incredibly friendly and got us safely to each destination, like a true private driver. He gave us a great dinner recommendation as well which was the best dinner we had on our vacation and even dropped us off there.
