Traveler reviews
Great tour with Manos
Manos was a knowledgeable and courteous tour guide. The trip was extremely informative and we saw a great deal of Athens in a short time. We later enjoyed a very good dinner of authentic Greek food, which was part of the tour. Manos was amiable and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Unforgettable experience
An unforgettable experience, led by an excellent guide who provided us with knowledge, cordiality and quality services.
Off the beaten path
We couldn't have been happier with this tour and our driver/guide Sebastian. In contrast our our busy city tour of Athens the previous day this was an enjoyable countryside drive with many fewer tourists and interesting stops like the Corinth canal. Sebastian was very accommodating of our requests, like finding a store that sold a specific and needed medical item. At our request he found an alternate place for lunch at a wonderful seaside restaurant in a lovely town and setting. (As opposed to the included lunch) . We had hoped that we could shorten the day to about 6 hours, as 8 hour tours are usually too long for us but that proved impossible. Because of the relaxing nature and wonderful sights we found the full experience very worthwhile.
I don't often write...
I don't often write reviews, but I thought this tour warranted one. It was absolutely amazing! If you are thinking about booking with Theodores Private Tours! You won't be disappointed. Paddy was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and professional, took his time explaining important facts at each spot. After the long visits, we had our lunch at a designated local restaurant where we have taste of local authentic food and snacks, beer is also included. Amazing.
Incredible day
Amazing experience, with details of history and local cuisine given by the best Guide we could have. Attentive to everyone, patiently answered our requests and took care of my parents who could not walk so much. Super recommend!!!
