Tour Experience | AccessTravel

Our pick up was scheduled for 8am, but when our driver discovered we had booked our tickets for the Acropolis for 8am, he suggested a pick up at 7:30am. George was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his city, and made the entire experience memorable for us.

We hired Aris before we left the US. He contacted us before our departure and we were able to arrange for an airport transfer in addition to our Athens excursion. We arrived Athens Airport, and Aris was waiting for us, sign in hand. We dropped our bags at the hotel, and off we went to the Acropolis, the Agora, and the many other wonderful sites throughout Athens as promised on our day trip. We were exhausted from travelling, but really appreciated his knowledge of ancient Greek history, his recommendation of restaurants and his insights on current events. Great day! So great that we asked him to take us to Delphi and Thermopylae the next day, to the airport the following morning for the Crete/Cyclades segment of our trip, and he even picked us up at the ferry and took us to the airport for our return home. It was a relief knowing Aris was taking care of all these transfers in addition to the tours. He was always prompt, waiting for us to arrive, with a great attitude, plenty of topical conversation (his English is excellent), expansive knowledge of history and a healthy, good-hearted sense of humor, to boot. He even gave us a parting gift: an excellent bottle of virgin olive oil from his own trees! We think of Aris and our wonderful trip to Greece each time we use it. Yasou!
