Costas was an amazing tour guide, he loves Athens and is very excited to share the history of his beautiful country. He loves questions and wants to provide you with details and photos so you can get a feel for ancient Athens as well as modern day Athens. Highly recommend!

Great experience viewing the historical sites. We had a variety of weather conditions from wind to rain to sun. Glad we had the luxury of a private tour to stay or extend our time at each location. Fotis our host, was kind, informative and well versed on all things Athens. We highly recommend.

We just finished our half day tour with Michael and to say it was awesome, is an understatement. Michael was absolutely fantastic - he picked us up in a Mercedes van and it was immaculate. We were stocked with water and plenty of AC. Athens is about 10 degrees warmer than it should be right now so the AC came in handy. We stopped at all of the major landmarks, including the Acropolis and Parthenon, Temple of Olympian Zeus, the modern Olympic stadium, Temple of Hephaestus, and the Ancient Agora. We were given plenty of time at each destination and Michael was on standby for as soon as we were finished. He even made a quick stop at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier just in time for the Changing of the Guards. This really elevated our Athens trip and we left extremely happy, having seen almost of all of the major landmarks in Athens! A few tips for the first timers like us - (1) This is not a tour as you may commonly think. There is no tour guide. So once you are dropped off, you are on your own. (2) You must pay for entrance fees. I completely forgot and the tour operator was nice enough to get my tickets and I reimbursed them in cash. (3) Bring cash for tips! The minimum wage in Greece is extremely low and tips really make a difference. (4) Wear sunscreen! I am bright red as a result of a full day of exploration. And most importantly, (5) HAVE THE BEST TIME!
