Itinerary
The Daphni Monastery was founded towards the end of the sixth century A.D. on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo which had been desecrated by the Goths in 395. The Sanctuary of Apollo was built in the Ionic style using the thinnest and smallest columns. The columns stand on a base with an ornamental scroll at the top. A few of the columns of the temple have been preserved. One of the four Ionic columns of the ancient Sanctuary of Apollo remains at the site, as it was re-used in the Daphni Monastery. The other columns were removed and taken to London by Thomas Bruce, Earl of Elgin (of Elgin Marbles fame). The columns, column bass, and column tops from the Sanctuary of Apollo are currently in the possession of the British Museum.

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Arrived right on time, kept to a good schedule. We never felt rushed. Our lunch was really good and authentic.
Panos was very attentive and informative. Pick us up at the airport on time 11am and took us straight to the Acropolis. Then Ancient Agora. Then lunch. Only downside is the restaurant included w/tour is 30-40 mins AWAY from all attractions. So you lose a lot of time! There’s so many wonderful restaurants close by. The restaurants right in front of Ancient Agora are excellent! When we finally got back from lunch, we drove around the Parliament and saw the guards walk (not the change of guards). Then the stadium. After the stadium, it was 5pm. Panos offered to take us to temple of Zeus but we were exhausted our long flights, sun burnt (walking around Acropolis). Panos dropped us off at our hotel and helped us w/bags. I recommend this tour, just not beginning from airport (1 hours away from airport).
We were very great full to have such a knowledgeable tour guide like George. He showed us all the great highlights of Athens. I would highly recommend this tour.
Dimos was an excellent tour guide. He was professional and very knowledgable. I learned so much. He knew the history and showed us so much. It was truly an amazing day. It was like meeting a new friend When I return to Athens he will be the only travel guide I use. Once you have excellence why settle for anything else. He was a 15 out of 10. Great job
This tour was fantastic. Very convenient as picked us up from our cruise boat in the morning and dropped us at our accommodation at the end of the tour - what to do with our bags taken care of. It was just my son and I with the driver so we had discretion and an air conditioned car to get into after viewing each attraction. The lunch that come as part of the tour was superb and we got to take the leftovers with us! Last but not least - our driver Achilles was wonderful and made the busy schedule of sight seeing a breeze.
Sebastian was an excellent guide! Knowledgeable and funny and catered to our group’s desires itinerary. The meal was excellent with more food than we could ever finish. Really great experience and highly recommend.
This was a great experience to get a taste of the great parts of Athens! George was our driver and he was very professional. He did his best to tell us everything about each stop and things we drove past. His passion for his country rings through just as much as his joy in sharing it with us. We did a morning tour finishing with lunch at an amazing local fish restaurant. Having a dedicated driver to each place makes a huge difference! My only advice - after you book this tour go online to order your tickets for the Acropolis *not necessary just saves you waiting in the queue. And be hungry! The provided food is a large sampling of local cuisine.
WOW! what a fantastic evening with a terrific guide! Achilles was so knowledgeable and kind. He knew all the best spots and stories to go along with it. We had a beautiful dinner with a variety of foods from Greece to top it off! His vehicle was very nice and clean too!
Tried this excursion because we have a limited time in Athens, we are embarking on a cruise the following day. Our tour guide, ACHILLES picked us at our hotel 10 mins before our appointed time, nice start.He brought us to all the important landmarks and enthusiastically discussed important informations about the places we visited .After the tour we were treated to a delicious Greek dinner and was given a souvenir gift...If you want to have a private tour of Athens, riding in a late model Mercedes Benz , with a very patient , accommodating and knowledgeable tour guide plus sumptuous Greek dinner and a gift, I highly recommend this Tour, satisfaction guaranteed
Me and my wife came to Greece for our belated honeymoon Re covid restrictions and had the best tour ever with George ! He is a brilliant guide that knows his knowledge of this beautiful city and it history inside out. He took us around in style in a Merc and finished off with a lovely lunch and have us a couple gifts to remember the trip. We will definitely use his services again on our return to the most amazing city and country in the world and highly recommend him. Johnny and Lisa
Our guide, Stelios was PHENOMENAL!!! He was so knowledgeable about every landmark and allowed us to get fantastic pictures.
Our Viator afternoon tour was wonderful. George arrived on time in a spotless Mercedes. Throughout the afternoon he took us to all the special highlights of Athens and gave knowledgeable information. He was cheerful, thoughtful and accommodating to our special health needs. George took us to a fantastic restaurant where we were served many types of delicious Greek food. A perfect end to a perfect day in Athens. Thank you George!
This was a superb tour, we had george as our guide and he was exceptional in every way, nothing was too much bother for him and adapted our tour to what we mainly wanted to see. We had the most wonderful meal included and a gift, it was the tour that kept giving!!!!!! Can’t recommend highly enough
If I could give this a 10 star review I would. The sights were cool but our driver George made this trip fantastic. His personality and knowledge of the area was unsurpassed. I only wish we could have him on every tour. And the dinner he took us too was a one of a kind Athens experience.
George was informative but also had a great personality and was truly the MVP of our tour. He was funny and told great stories. If we could guarantee George as our driver, we’d do all the trips!!!
This tour of Athens was amazing. Theodore Stamatis was an amazing guide that was full of humor, knowledge, and excitement. It was like touring with a family member. 5 out of 5 stars.
