We had a private tour. It was great! The operator was very knowlegeable and he drove safely! We especially enjoyed the drive around Piraeus port from our cruise ship. The night views of the Acropolis were spectacular!

Xenofontas was very kind and a great host. He explained all of the sites, locations and the “what’s and whys” of Athens, including the history. He is also an amazing etymologist!

We had our tour with Nikos, that was some of the best time we had in the city. Nikos showed us awesome points of interest in Athens and Piraeus. He asked questions of us and engaged well with us. We were never left uninformed of where we were going or what we could expect to see next. My wife and I had a great time with everything we saw that day. We highly recommend Nikos if you get the opportunity to have him show you around.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Nikos. He truly enjoys connecting with guests and sharing the beauty and history of Athens and Piraeus. It's great to know you felt informed and engaged throughout the day. We’ll make sure to pass along your kind words to him. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future!

Representing the tour included admission to the Acropolis is very misleading. It’s not included and you can’t just walk up and buy the tickets. As a result none of us were able to go. Had they simply stayed the tickets were not included we could’ve gone on line and purchased them.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for your time to send us review! We would advise you to read the description and details of the tour better and the inclusions do not mention anywhere that we include tickets for the Acropolis ( PARTHENON PASS WITHOUT STOPPING) and it Is a panoramic relaxed tour. It is an unfair criticism because we provided you an excellent service with an experienced English-speaking driver and a comfortable Mercedes Minibus vehicle. Also, the Acropolis has strict visiting hours and in the evening 7 o’clock is the last entrance and the hours that our night tour starts are after 7. We really hope that you enjoy your holidays in Greece and we hope to see you again in the near future! Best regards, Greece Athens Transfers and Tours !

Waste of money. This was just a glorified expensive taxi service. Driver did speak any English. He did not try to even make an attempt to tell us where we were going and tried to skip a few places. When we complained that this was ending within an hour he took us to a place not on the agenda.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Dear Sagar,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. All our drivers are very knowledgeable and share a lot of information about the places visited,however, it is very difficult the communication with travellers who speak limited English! We encourage you to carefully read all the details of the tour because you asked for the driver more stations that not included in the tour and at the same time you requested for free dinner that also not included. Especially, you requested offensively to the driver to offer you free dinner and when he showed you the voucher that it was not included, of course the bad review happened, which has nothing to do with reality and the other reviews of the tour. Thank you again and we wish you a great stay in Greece.

I just finished an amazing Athens by Night tour and I loved it! The city looks so beautiful with all the lights, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Me and my partner are truly amazed by this country. We visited some great spots with amazing views, and I also learned interesting things about the history and culture. The driver was very friendly and smiling a lot which made us feel very welcomed. Totally recommend it if you’re in Athens!

Deo was very gracious, warm and professional. He drove very well through the narrow streets and traffic and made several stops along the way. At the Acropolis, they let you out to walk up for about twenty minutes while they must remain with the car.

Athens at night is beautiful. We did this trip on our first night in Athens and it helped prioritize the sights we wanted to see. Fontas was a great driver and explained the sights well.

My guide (XENOFONTAS) was excellent. He is a native of Athens. He is very knowledgeable and a fun personality as well! City tour by night was much less crowded than the day tours I had taken. The next time I’m in Athens, I will request him as my guide for any tour I’m interested in taking.

Tour organized by vendor was great. Tour guide/driver even picked us up and dropped us off outside the normal boundaries of his service area. Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and easy to converse with. He calm still provided for a safe driving environment. Would recommend the operator of this tour to others.
