Guide was good,told us...

Bradley_S, Oct 2026

Guide was good,told us about sites ,and the city. All stops were good,but wished we could have got to acropolis, don't know why we didn't get there,we might have misunderstood guide about getting there. Otherwise,great tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Dear friends. The reason that we didn’t visit acropolis and instead went to the museum, was because you had to buy your tickets to enter the site of Acropolis a few days before the tour. We had already emailed you and advising you to purchase your tickets a few days before our tour. The fact that you didn’t have Internet access neither mobile phone and we couldn’t reach you with any means, it was not our fault. So we think that your rating is unfair because we did our best to satisfy your expectations for your tour even without Acropolis. We wish you all the best.

Great option for half day tour

marc_k, Sep 2026

Wonderful tour! Our guide was outstanding, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Dimitrios took us to spots we would have never seen without him. Highly recommend.

It was an absolute pleasure driving and exploring with you. Thank you again for choosing us, and I hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable journeys in the future! Warmest regards

Wonderful experience. Our driver Maria was prompt and courteous. Very convenient pick up and drop off both from our apartment and the tour sites. Maria was flexible with our agenda and provided good insight into culture and history.

Our guide Maria was wonderful - we saw all the sights! The tour was just that two of us and Maria had a very comfortable car. She was very informative.

Viator Cab Ride WHAT!!

Sol_R, Apr 2026

We were picked up by a cab. Driven to locations, then we bought tickets and a guide. If you want to spend $200 for a cab ride, nothing else, this trip is for you. I would like a refund or credit. Cheaper with Uber with a nicer ride

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Sol_R, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations; however, we would like to clarify a few points regarding the service provided, as there seems to be a misunderstanding of the tour description. • Service Description: As clearly stated in our tour details on Viator, this is a private tour with a professional driver. It is explicitly mentioned that entrance fees to archaeological sites and a licensed tour guide are not included in the price. Our goal is to provide seamless transportation and local insights, allowing guests the flexibility to explore sites at their own pace. • Communication During the Tour: Throughout the entire 5 hour duration, no concerns or issues were raised to our driver. On the contrary, the itinerary was followed exactly as described. In an effort to provide exceptional service, our driver even offered to take you to additional sights and extended the tour time beyond the original agreement. • Your Experience: Despite our driver's willingness to show you more of the city, you indicated that you were too tired to continue after visiting the main highlights. In fact, you requested to return to your ship and spent the return journey resting/sleeping in the vehicle, which suggests that the itinerary was quite comprehensive. • Refund Request: While we respect every guest's opinion, we find it unfair to use a review rating as a tool to demand a refund for services that were fully rendered according to the booking terms. Comparing a specialized private tour to a standard ride-share service overlooks the value of a dedicated vehicle, a planned itinerary, and a driver who waits for you at every stop. We take pride in our service and always strive to go above and beyond for our guests. Had you read the "Inclusions/Exclusions" section of your booking, we believe your expectations would have been perfectly aligned with the high-quality service we delivered as you can see in our reviews. Best regards,
