Great tour and guide in Athens Greece!
We had a fantastic tour and guide in Athens, Greece! Our guide, Manos, picked our group of four up at the cruise port and proceeded to give us a great tour of the city with tons of historical and current perspectives thrown in. We loved his passion for the city, its history and culture. We highly recommend this tour and Manos, if he’s available!!

Truthful advertising and basic tour of Athens by private bus
It’s exactly as advertised: a drive-by tour of the highlights of Athens. We opted to have the vendor pick us up at the pier and drop us off at the Athens airport at the end. Great way to spend the day if you have a late flight home following a cruise. He even let us stop for lunch—which was nice given that we still had another 3 hours to wait after he dropped us there!

Private tour is the best, tailoring what you get to see to your greatest interests. Dimos was AMAZING!!
