We took this private van tour in Athens in the middle of July and had a great experience with Giorgio. It was an extremely hot day, so having a comfortable van with strong air conditioning made a huge difference, and he also had plenty of cold water for everyone. We were traveling with an elderly woman, and Giorgio was very accommodating with her. At certain stops where she did not want to get out, she was able to stay comfortably in the van with him. He was very friendly, talkative, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Athens, and he gave us a lot of helpful information throughout the day. He also made sure to take us to some of the best spots for pictures and gave us plenty of freedom to decide what was most important for us to see. One of the best parts was that he even took us to a great gelato place and made sure we went to one of the best ones. He gave us advice about different places, answered all of our questions, and made the entire day feel easy, comfortable, and personal. We would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you want to see a lot of Athens without having to walk everywhere in the heat.

We wanted a fast paced overview of Athens for our first day. We hit the jackpot with Dimos.
Terrific introduction to the city- better than we could possibly expect.

It’s wonderful to know that the fast-paced overview matched exactly what you were looking for and exceeded your expectations. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope the rest of your time in Athens was just as enjoyable!
Great Fast tour of Athens with Pacu. Traveling with my elderly but mobile parents. He knew all the right places to take great pictures of all important sights without walking in the heat. He even answered questions about the culture. Great.
Matt is as a great guide. Comfortable car. Hit all the highlights of Athens for a short stay. Plenty of time at each or customize as needed.
We had a fantastic tour and guide in Athens, Greece! Our guide, Manos, picked our group of four up at the cruise port and proceeded to give us a great tour of the city with tons of historical and current perspectives thrown in. We loved his passion for the city, its history and culture. We highly recommend this tour and Manos, if he’s available!!
It’s exactly as advertised: a drive-by tour of the highlights of Athens. We opted to have the vendor pick us up at the pier and drop us off at the Athens airport at the end. Great way to spend the day if you have a late flight home following a cruise. He even let us stop for lunch—which was nice given that we still had another 3 hours to wait after he dropped us there!
Private tour is the best, tailoring what you get to see to your greatest interests. Dimos was AMAZING!!
This was an absolutely fantastic tour! We saw all of the highlights and learned so much about the city. Our driver was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We had great conversation the entire time we were on the tour. He offered us water and snacks, which was such a nice gesture. Since we only had a limited amount of time, we are so happy that we were able to do this and see the city and take wonderful photos!

Our driver was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I really enjoyed touring with him and when I come back I will request him!
Thus tour was a wonderful way to start our experience in Athens!!! It was a private tour for my husband and myself…our driver, Kostis, arrived on time and was extremely pleasant and well versed in Athens history!! Made a few stops for us to get out and view a few of the sights….he pointed out many others that he thought we’d be interested in visiting during our Athens stay…traffic was very heavy and streets are narrow but Kostis maneuvered us along without any issues:…highly recommend this trip and applaud Kostis as a tour guide and driver!!!

We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and hope to welcome you again soon!
Amazing value for the money! Our guide, Sebastian, was friendly, kind, courteous and knowledgeable. We learned so much! He was totally flexible. Told us to take as much, or as little time as we wanted at each site. I am so glad we did a car tour. I can’t even imagine seeing all the sites, especially Mount Lycabettus that was the highlight of a tour for us, without car. I was worried about being stuck in city center traffic for most of the tour, but for us it was not the case at all. Hardly any traffic (we had 12:30 tour in November). Beautiful weather, not crowded at all, all around perfect day! Highly recommend Sebastian and this tour company!

This was perfect for us. We got to see everything that we wanted to and more!! Our driver George was awesome!! He was very knowledgeable and pleasant to ride with. He made sure we were comfortable and had a good time!! I would definitely recommend this if you don’t want to or can’t do a lot of walking!!!

Loved the fact that is was a private tour, we were able to having a one on one experience with Dimitrius. He was very thorough and very resourceful, gave plenty of information about the sites we visited. Would definitely recommend this tour if you would like to avoid the crowds and I would also recommend going in the afternoon so you can truly see Athens in her full beauty.

Perfect for people short on time or short on energy. I have a walking cane due to an issue with my hip, so the minimal walking without missing the highlights was perfect for me. Our guide Spiros was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and entertaining! I would absolutely recommend for anyone who wants a quick flavor of the city.

We had the best tour with our guide, Dimitris Tabone! This was perfect for us to be able to see the city in the one day we were visiting Athens for, but not have to be out in the heat.

Hi Megan,
Thank you for choosing Theodores Travel. We are so pleased to know you had a satisfying trip with Dimitris. Hoping to see you soon again.
We had an excellent tour with Spiros! He was very knowledgeable and knew just where to take us in our limited time, based on what we had already seen and what we were interested in. He knew the best photo spots and timing for getting to see things like the changing of the guard. Highlights of the trip were exploring the Agora and seeing the Panathenaic Stadium. I booked this tour only the night before, and appreciated Spiros' prompt communication using WhatsApp. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Excellent private 3 hour tour with Jimmy from Theodores Travel. Our driver was an incredibly friendly and superior host for our tour around Athens. Our vehicle (Mercedes sedan) was clean and comfortable. Jimmy knew wonderful off the beaten path places to visit and offered excellent tips on restaurants in our area. I highly recommend this tour and a bonus for you if Jimmy is your driver.

Hi John,
Thank you for choosing Theodores Travel and letting us know you enjoyed your trip to Athens hoping to see you soon again.
Our guide, Andreas, was on top of things before the tour started. He contacted us and responded to more than several questions about timing, special requests, pick up, etc. He planned the day so that we were able to see the “Changing of the Guard” at the tomb of Greece’s Unknown Soldier. In addition he had great insight into the democratic historical heritage in Sthens.
