We had a wonderful time on our tour (with two teenagers 13 and 16). Petros was a fantastic guide. He was a walking guidebook and we also had an opportunity to chat about every day life in Greece. We never felt rushed at any of the sites and had our best day in Athens.

A wonderful day spent with a knowledgeable friendly guide. Thank you, Andreas for sharing your love of Athens and its amazing history. We saw so much and appreciated every minute of it. Highly recommend.

Andreas showed us a great time. Safe driver. Had our tickets ready and escorted us to a great restaurant. Long but productive day. Saw all the sights and got great photos. Never rushed at all.

The knowledge and history imparted by our driver Andreas were fantastic. However, we felt that for the price paid, we spent an inordinate amount of time driving and guide should have accompanied us throughout sites.

We were had the opportunity to spend a day which was well planned and included all of the necessary stops in Athens and Sounion. Our driver was very knowledgeable and was well versed in every aspect of the places we visited. We did not feel rushed at any stop nor were we taken to any place that wasn't of interest. Our driver was very friendly, spoke good English and was helpful in every aspect. Great Job!

Our guide, Andreas, was phenomenal! He knew his way around and got us to key locations in the best order to beat crowds. He was knowledgeable and personable and customized our tour to match interests of our group. I highly recommended this tour to anyone who has a day in Athens!

Excellent tour that takes you to all of the important places around Athens. Andreas was a fantastic guide - very knowledgeable about the city and it’s history, in addition to being super friendly. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has just 1 or 2 days to see as much of Athens and surrounding areas as possible.

If you want to do Athens in one day, this is your best bet. Pedro was friendly, funny, organized, accommodating, clear on the why, and provided just enough details for us to navigate and understand each site and yet could visit at our own pace. The drive down to Cape Sounion was breathtaking. Highly recommend it!
