Manos was great. Followed our flight and knew we were delayed by 4 hours. I was concerned we missed the acropolis museum because we missed our timed ticket entry. He made a call and we were able to get in. Our all day tour was bit compressed due to the plane being late but Manos made sure we saw it all. Great tour, guide and company!

This was a great private tour. Driver was exceptional in getting us to so many locations in one day and very knowledgeable!
Tour guide, owner, was very communicative before and during the tour. We used WhatsApp to stay in touch, he answered all our questions and provided excellent information. Very easy to work with.
Very flexible, clear communication, excellent knowledge. Highly recommend. Used WhatsApp to keep in touch.
very good guide. Ruins very historic although not in good condition, especially in acropolis museum. skip temple of zeus which was covered in scaffolding for repairs.
Peter was very helpful. Even though we had requested a 9am pickup from the airport, we had provided our flight information and he was waiting for us when we cleared customs at 8am. Great tour. Peter didn’t rush us, but made some solid recommendations. We got to spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. Highly recommend!
We have done several private tours (Greece and Italy), and truly this was the best private tour we have ever had. Aristotle is a history/archaeology major so he makes the history of the places come alive and memorable. Aristotle had an ipad that showed us what the places looked like in their prime, really helped you visualize the places you were visiting. He knows the most efficient routes of getting around to maximize the visit and the best places to take a picture. If you’re trying to get instagram worthy pictures, Aristotle is the guy that knows all the angles. We love customized tours so it can be tailored to our interests and Aristotle did a great job of showing Athens with love. Highly recommend Aristotle and Petros as the driver.
really lovely day - very informative side saw all the best of Athens ! relaxing way to see Athens without worry of driving yourself
Well worth it. Proceeding at your own pace is a plus. Our guide was knowlegeable and the ride was pleasant.
Highly recommend our guide was great everything went well no issues was very informative about his country
Peter gave us an excellent tour of Athens in a short amount of time. He had excellent information and knowledge of the area.
Aggelos and Athenians First are the best solution for commuting and traveling around Athens. You will always experience professionalism, courtesy, and availability, with them always finding a solution even on short notice. Highly recommended for business trips, vacations, or any kind of transportation you may need!
We had a great time exploring Athens with Petros. He did a great job getting us to all the sites in a timely and safe manner. He filled us in on different sites and events. Made for an awesome day of seeing all of Athen’s highlights with the ease of one driver. Definitely recommend if you want a stress free day.
Peter Nikitas was very helpful with Acropolis and Athens full day tour promptly picking up and dropping off at attractions so we could see everything in one day. It was nice trying authentic greek food for lunch at restaurant he recommended. His knowledge about the sites was very informative.
We had such a great day in Athens visiting all the important and historic sites! Peter was a wealth of information and he took us around efficiently so we got to see everything in the course of the day. We had a wonderful lunch we had coffee we had snacks and we saw all the sites. Highly recommend Peter as a driver.
I highly recommend this tour company for anyone visiting Athens! My business colleagues from Glasgow had an incredible experience, thanks to the expert guidance and seamless organization provided by the team. The tour was suggested by one of my Athens-based partners (thanks Aggelos), and it exceeded all expectations. The company offered a well-structured and informative visit to all the major archaeological sites we wanted to explore. From the Acropolis to the ancient Agora, every stop was rich in history, and the guides provided insightful commentary that truly brought the sites to life. All in all the entire team from Scotland (6 persons) was thrilled with the tour, and it made our visit to Athens unforgettable. If you're looking to explore and learn about the historical wonders of this beautiful city, I can't recommend this company enough.
We had a fantastic day exploring Athens with Aggelos as our driver. He was friendly, professional, and full of interesting insights about the city. From the Acropolis to Mount Lycabettus, he made sure we saw all the highlights while keeping the tour relaxed and enjoyable. The car was spotless and comfortable, and Aggelos even gave us great local tips for lunch. If you want a stress-free way to see Athens with a great driver, I highly recommend this tour!
I did this tour with Thanos. He was great. Very knowledgeable and explained things well. He hit the main spots in Athens and moved at the pace we desired. It was a really nice day.
Our tour in Athens was absolutely amazing! Peter, our guide, made the whole experience unforgettable. We started early in the morning with a visit to the Acropolis, and it was breathtaking. Peter’s knowledge and passion for the history of Athens really brought the site to life. Afterward, we went to the Acropolis Museum, which was equally fascinating. The exhibits were so well-curated, and Peter’s insightful commentary made the visit even more enriching. We want to extend a huge thank you to Peter for making this day so special and enjoyable! Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Athens in the best way possible!
Definitely the best service in the city. We extremely satisfied with their professionalism and are very impressed by the services provided by their company. From beginning to end, from contacting the company to the driver, everyone is dedicated to ensuring the customer gets the best possible experience, always putting safety first. Cannot recommend them enough! Will definitely only be using this company from now on.
In November, my international colleagues visited Athens, and Angelos gave them an unforgettable tour of the city's historical landmarks. They were absolutely delighted with the experience! His knowledge of the city's rich history, combined with his friendly and professional approach, made the tour both informative and enjoyable. My colleagues left with a deep appreciation of Athens and its heritage, thanks to Angelos. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the city's treasures!
Great experience!! My mom and I loved it! Peter was a great guide and told us about the history of Athens. He also recommended a couple great places to eat. I absolutely recommend this tour!
The Acropolis was really the highlight, but we enjoyed the whole day. Giannis did a good job and was very eager to make sure we were happy.
Amazing guide (Giannis). Was friendly, conversational, and had excellent knowledge of the city. Saw a ton in Athens, highly recommend!
We had a wonderful tour of Athens with Aggelos! He promptly met us at our pickup location and had us back to our ship in plenty of time. He took us too all the major sights and gave us the amazing history of Athens, Greece. We had plenty of time to explore. He provided insider tips like where to eat and shop!
We visited many key sites from the birthplace of democracy. Our driver/guide was great and explained in great detail the history and other little known facts. He was also flexible when traffic was a problem and suggested alternatives. The Parthenon and changing of the guard were really interesting. If I went on another tour, I would request the same guide.
Giannis was absolutely amazing as a driver/tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and so much fun. He knew of all the best places for us to eat and have coffee. He was also prepared for anything providing us with a portable WiFi for use as well as water and umbrellas since it was rainy during our visit. The sites we visited were nothing short of spectacular. I could not recommend this excursion more!
We enjoyed our tour very much Our driver John is very very nice and very informative and responsible Would recommend a guide as we didn't get but we still had a great day
Excellent private tour with Peter. He was knowledgeable and a wonderful guide. Went to all the locations with plenty of time at each. If you want a more intimate tour, I would definitely recommend this one!
I knew Athens history is wide and deep both in space and time. I could not imagine how a day trip.could offer more than some.vague idea. Yet Angelos did it. He gave us not only a taste of but also a taste for Athens. Punctual, on time, allowing us to spend more time to spots of special interest and being able to catch up on the way to the next stop. Professional, clean and accurate. We got a feeling of the Athens of days foregone and we realized the perspective of the new Athens. Fasten your seat belts and be prepared to follow Angelos in the dimensions to come. An experience to be repeated.
Everything was perfect.. The full day trip in Athens was excellent.. for my short trip in Greece.. Thank a lot Angel..
In July, my colleagues from a London shipping company came to Greece. The heat would make it difficult for Londoners to visit the city's attractions because they are not used to such temperatures. The Athenians first gave the solution with a very nice tour in Athens with a great guide who accompanied them to all the archaeological sites making the experience memorable! Angel always waited for us with air conditioning in the van and cold water for everyone. Luckily I went on tour and saw all these sights in the presence of the guide and I learned really a lot! Thank you very much for everything!
After many years of graduating from an English university,2 English friends with their wives and children decided to visit Athens for a few days. After a long search I recommended my friend Angel of Athenian First. His service, his professionalism and his knowledge on this tour, left my guests absolutely excited. He picked them up exactly at the time it was arranged. Answer all their questions and make this day a special experience.
