We were so lucky to have Andreas our guide. He is so full of energy and knowledge and stories. He brought everything to life. He took us to so many really cool places, guiding us on where to go and even stand to get the best pictures. I can’t recommend this tour and Andreas enough.

Or guide Nikos was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to! He made the trip fun and showed us parts of Athens we would not have seen on our own. Highly
Recommend.

Our private tour guide, Stefano was the best ever - providing excellent service & was so knowledgeable. The tour was good value for money & we covered so many must-see sights in just 4 hours. Thanks Stefano for a memorable tour & lovely introduction to Athens!

Amazing tour! Sunday was a fabulous guide and showed us all the wonders Athens has to offer for such a short stay.

Great overall, with an amazing dinner overlooking all of Athens; our guide was amazing , was engaging and so positive

This was a very nice tour. The only small downside to the tour is tour guide doesn’t go into the historical sites with you. However, our tour guide Panos was amazing. He arrived early for pickup. He provided plenty of history and information before we entered the sites. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the country. He was very personable and truly wanted us to have a good experience. He even recommended a local restaurant where we could have some traditional Greek cuisine. Thanks Panos!! We wish you well in your future endeavors.

Babas was an excellent guide/driver. We loved our time in Athens, for a short visit we saw and learned a lot. Our guide even bought us ice cream 🍦

Great tour if they follow their promises. It guaranteed skip the line acropolis and Zeis. We were told tickets are not included so we had to stand in line for about 30 minutes to buy tickets and our time for acropolis was one hour. We had a choice either to skip the acropolis
Or what we did enjoyed it and did lot make it to trample of Zeis because it closed at 5 and we were 25 minutes late . The tour advertises “ skip the line guaranteed” that’s was a lie . If we knew we would pre purchase tickets and would waste half an hour and a missed attraction on this expensive tour
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
I am sorry you missed the Temple of Zeus, but after your booking we reached you to let you know that the tickets are not included and if you wanted us to buy the skip the line tickets for you. As you chose not to have this service, we didn't buy them and that's the reason that you had to wait in the line and you didn't make it in both sites.
We are happy that you enjoyed your tour with Manos and hope to see you again!
Best regards,
Dimitra Kapantai

Stephano was an awesome guide and kept us moving. Comfortable van. Just me and my wife. Saw acropolis, lycobettis hill, unknown soldier, and Olympic stadium.

The most memorable part of our tour besides the sights was Themes. His knowledge of the history of Athens along with his suggestions for other sightseeing and dining were incredible. He was always considerate of our needs. He is an asset to your company. We will recommend him and your company to all of our friends

Our guide Jimmy gave us a great evening tour of Athens. We saw all of the usual sights and Jimmy showed us a way to get up front to see the changing of the guards. He also recommended and brought us to Daphnes, a restaurant with fantastic traditional food.

Great tour. Loved our driver. He had a plethora of information. Beautiful way to see the Acropolis. Loved the evening tour. Made for excellent pictures with the sunset. Also captured an incredible 'dress rehearsal ' of some type of concert in the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. What a special treat.
