Great Day in Athens

Kathleen_B, Oct 2025

Our driver picked us up at the cruise terminal on time. We had tickets for the Acropolis and after entry found climbing difficult but were escorted to the lift and enjoyed the history and sights from that height. We then went to the Acropolis Museum - another magnificant building. Our driver suggested other activities and we enjoyed 6-7 hours in Athens.

Highly Recommend

Eric_H, Jul 2024

We had a wonderful time seeing all the sites in Athens. Our driver and our guide were both very knowledgeable and professional. They both took extra time and we did not feel rushed. The lunch break was at a great local restaurant. I highly recommend this tour.

Mes rebel tour.

WagihWGobrial_G, Jul 2024

Waiting for five hours to get to the site because nobody told us to buy tickets online the day before. Waited in a long line of tourists in very hot day for an hour then had to go before I get heat stroke. Lost $30 I paid for ticket.total $180 for six of us.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

It is very sad that you are blaming us for something that you didn't done. I saw you all the proofs that you were informed by message that you should had purchased your admission fees in advance but you didn't.

A fantastic way to spend a day in Athens!

Philip_U, Jul 2024

A fantastic day even with heat and jet-lag. The tour operator provided a very comfortable van for our group of seven which was always on time and available. Both the driver and the guide (hired through the operator) were knowledable, friendly, and flexible. We had a great day!

Perfect!

Kimberly_P, Oct 2023

Our tour guide George was excellent. He was able to customize our tour to see and do exactly what we wanted to do. He picked us up at the port, kept our luggage safe in the van, and dropped us off at the airport! He gave us suggestions for coffee, lunch and how to see the best sights in a short amount of time. He was very knowledgeable and provided interesting facts and information.

Amazing tour of Athens in a day!

DrSuomi_A, Jul 2023

This was a wonderful tour, even though we were in Athens during the heatwave! Our driver/guide was John and he was amazing!! We saw and did way more than I thought was possible in a day. During the hottest time of the day, he arranged for us to go to the museum which was air conditioned. Great way to end our tour. If you book this tour, you will not be sorry, especially if John is your tour guide.

A great afternoon in Athens with a great guide

JOSEPH_W, Jul 2023

John was amazing. He treated us like long-time friends while showing us the best of Athens in a very comfortable (it was HOT outside) and safe van. We learned so much and had fantastic conversations as he shared his city with us. When we return to Athens, we will definitely re-book with John. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour with John...you won't be disappointed.

Would definitely repeat. Thank you, Michael!
