James/1215

Unforgettable Experience!

I recently took the Athens Museums and Art Tour and it exceeded all my expectations. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history and art of Athens. From the moment we stepped into the Archaeological Museum, I was in awe of the breathtaking artifacts and sculptures on display. The guide's explanations brought everything to life, and I gained a deeper appreciation for the ancient Greek civilization.

We also visited other prominent museums and art galleries, each offering a unique perspective on Athens' artistic heritage. The tour was well-paced, allowing enough time to explore each venue without feeling rushed. I particularly enjoyed the personalized attention and insights provided by our guide.

The organization and communication from the tour company were excellent. They made sure every detail was taken care of, from seamless ticket arrangements to comfortable transportation. The entire experience was smooth and hassle-free.

I highly recommend the Athens Museums and Art Tour to anyone who wants to delve into the captivating history and art of Athens. It's an enriching journey that will leave you with lasting memories. Thank you to the tour company and our guide for an incredible experience

5-Day Private Tour at Ancient Greece with Zakynthos the Turtle Island

BarbaraA

Ancient Greece - What an amazing culture! 

My daughter and I enjoyed an amazing 5 day tour of Ancient Greek sites. But it was so much more than that. Aggelos, our driver, gave us insights into Greek culture, politics, everyday life and most importantly, the history of the sights we visited. The car was great and everything was extremely well organised. We had some interesting adventures along the way and Aggelos handled problems with ease. The sites themselves were absolutely mind-blowing and will stay with us forever. To touch the ancient stones at Mycenae, to see the ruined Temple of Zeus, to see the stadium at Delphi were just a few of the many highlights of the trip. I would recommend this company to anyone. We have had the best tour!

Private Tour Athens: Acropolis and Parthenon, Museum, Olympian Zeus

Jennifer/Mc -

Private Athens Tour with Amazing Guide and Driver

I can't express enough how delighted I am with the private Athens tour I booked for my group of seven through Trip Advisor. It turned out to be the perfect choice for our day in Athens during our NCL cruise. Let me tell you why it was such a fantastic experience.

First and foremost, the cost savings compared to the NCL excursion were remarkable. We paid significantly less for a private tour of just seven people, while the ship's guests paid more for a crowded bus with over 60 passengers. At each site, we saw at least five of those buses, which made us appreciate our decision even more.

Our tour guide, Cornelia, was an absolute gem. Her knowledge and energy were boundless. She ensured that we didn't miss a single thing, despite the unexpected traffic in Athens, which delayed our tour by an hour. Cornelia's dedication to providing us with an unforgettable experience was truly remarkable. She was caring, sweet, and refused to let our small group be overshadowed by larger ones.

Our driver, Chris, was equally amazing. His catchphrase "Never fear, Chris is here" perfectly encapsulated his commitment to our tour. He worked seamlessly with Cornelia, allowing her to maximize our time at each location. With their coordination, we were able to see everything on our itinerary and still make it back to the port in time for our ship. This was in stark contrast to what we heard from many NCL guests, who felt they didn't get to experience much of Athens due to the distance and crowded excursions. We truly felt lucky to have seen it all.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Cornelia and Chris for saving our day in Athens. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for our experience made all the difference. I highly recommend booking a private tour with them. You'll enjoy the personal touch, flexibility, and the opportunity to truly make the most of your time in Athens. Thank you, Cornelia and Chris, for an unforgettable tour!

LauriieB

If you're visiting Athens and looking for an efficient and personalized way to see the city's top attractions, I highly recommend the Athens' Best Attractions with Half-Day Private Tour. This tour was a highlight of my trip, and it was led by an outstanding guide 

We started our tour at the Acropolis, which is undoubtedly one of the world's most iconic landmarks. Mrs Katerina provided us with fascinating insights into the history and mythology behind this incredible monument, and his enthusiasm for the subject was contagious. We were able to take our time exploring the site and taking in the stunning views from the top of the hill. The guide also made sure to take us to the best spots for photos, which was much appreciated. After the Acropolis, we headed to Plaka, a charming neighborhood that feels like a step back in time. We visited several traditional shops and cafes, and we felt like we were getting a true taste of Greek culture and hospitality. Throughout the tour, mr Katerina was patient, engaging, and responsive to our questions and interests. He was also flexible and tailored the experience to our pace and preferences, which made the tour feel like a customized journey through Athens. His knowledge and passion for Athenian history were evident throughout the tour, and he truly made the experience unforgettable. Overall, I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens. It's a great way to see the city's top attractions without feeling rushed or overwhelmed, and with Katerina as your guide, you're sure to learn a lot and have a great time.

7-Day Private Tour to UNESCO Heritage Sites, from Peloponnese to Thessaloniki

AliciaP

Fulfilment of tour in Greece

We booked the 7 Day Ancient Greece tour with a private driver. We had an excellent 7 days and the driver, Spiros was very reliable, always being on time. He was courteous and exemplary in safety matters when driving. Whenever we were visiting sites, he would ensure the car and our personal affects were safe. We had no concerns throughout the tour regarding our belongings or personal safety.
We were in Meteora on the Orthodox Good Friday. The monastery opened later than usual, which in turn caused a problem with meeting the guide for the Vergina visit. Spiros stepped in and rearranged with the guide so as to not shorten the monastery visit, which was one of our "must-see".
Spiros has an amicable nature which serves to make the long daily journeys pass easily and communications with local inhabitants effectively. He provided excellent suggestions as where to dine at nearly all the stopping points, and was on friendly terms with the patrons of the various establishments.
He has a genuine interest in ensuring that his customers achieve their objective to enjoy their visit to Greece.
In terms of the itinerary, as we have chosen Ancient Greece tour, we were visiting Ancient Ruins most of the time. We had a guide for Mycenae, Epidaudus, Delphi, Vergina, Thessaloniki and Pella. We regretted not booking a tour guide for Olympia. We highly recommend booking tour guides for all the sites, as the guides' explanations enhanced the visits.
In terms of the itinerary, we consider the visit to Sparta was disappointing, and frankly a waste of time due to the poor state of the ruins, and subject matter. Additionally the driving time to Naousa and Aristotle's school was underwhelming. However, the other 95% of the itinerary are great sites to visit and see.
Note that as there were only 2 of us, we were driven in a small car which fit us and our luggage well. It was fit for purpose for our journey. We were both average built. If you are tall and of a larger built, you may want to make it clear to the company for a bigger car.

Jason/23

Highly recommend this private tour to anyone!

I recently had the pleasure of taking the private tour of Athens and Cape Sounio with this tour company, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the tour was incredibly well-organized, and our knowledgeable guide made sure that we saw all of the top historical sites in Athens while also experiencing the stunning beauty of Cape Sounio.

We began the tour with a visit to the Acropolis and the Parthenon, where our guide gave us a fascinating overview of the history and mythology surrounding these ancient sites. We also visited other notable landmarks such as the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Panathenaic Stadium, which was the site of the first modern Olympic Games.

After our time in Athens, we headed to Cape Sounio, a scenic peninsula located on the southernmost tip of Attica. The highlight of this part of the tour was the visit to the Temple of Poseidon, which offered breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. Our guide provided us with in-depth historical context, making the visit all the more meaningful.

Throughout the tour, our guide was friendly, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience possible, even taking us to a local restaurant for lunch where we tried some delicious traditional Greek dishes.

Overall, I highly recommend this private tour to anyone looking for an immersive and unforgettable experience in Athens and Cape Sounio. Thank you to our wonderful guide and the tour company for creating such a memorable experience.
