Must Do Private tour of Athens!

Michelle_W, Oct 2025
Our guide Apostolos was awesome! We knew we wanted to visit the Acropolis and have some great authentic food (he took us to the BEST) but he also took us to the highest hill to see 360 views. He also showed us a great place to shop and get some drinks to take back with us to the rental. He was so great and made our day fantastic!

We had a wonderful day in...

We had a wonderful day in Athens with our driver and guide. I highly recommend this tour for families with teenagers or kids. We all enjoyed the air conditioning car and it was a nice blend of walking/driving. The tour covers a lot of information but our guide was great at explaining everything. I was also happy to see most of the important things in Athens in one day since we had a limited timeframe in Athens. Thanks again for a wonderful tour.

Not a Tour

Gary_W, Oct 2023
A lot of money for a "Chauffeur". Dropped us at the sites, very little information about any of the area. Only answered when asked what things were. Would not recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to kindly clarify that, as clearly stated on our platform and in our correspondence, our drivers are not licensed tour guides. For guests who wish to receive in-depth historical and cultural information during visits to archaeological sites, we always recommend hiring a professional, licensed guide at an additional cost. This ensures a complete and accurate experience at each location. Our driver provided general information and followed the itinerary as agreed. At your request, and with your full consent, an additional visit to Cape Sounion was arranged with a corresponding charge, which we were happy to accommodate. We truly regret that your expectations may not have been fully met, but it’s important to note that the decision not to include a licensed guide was a personal choice. For this reason, we believe the negative tone of the review may not reflect the service that was actually provided. We appreciate your visit and sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future—with a licensed guide this time—so you may enjoy an even more enriching experience of our beautiful country.
