This was an awesome tour and Fotini the guide was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. A real highlight of our trip. We were all amazed that we were able to see so many important sites in a day and learned a great deal from Fotini about the sites and history.

We had a wonderful time on this tour of Athens Greece. our driver was exceptional and took the time to teach us some words in Greek. He was polite, friendly and accommodating throughout the day. The shuttle bus was clean and comfortable and offered enough space for 11 of us and all our luggage with plenty of room to spare. We upgraded to be dropped off at our hotel near the airport and our driver made it a point to take us the long way to show us some more points of interest. If you are planning a trip to Greece and want a private tour this one is 5 star! We highly recommend them.
