Being picked up from our local hotel in Piraeus is a plus! The driver was very flexible with the itinerary and also had good suggestions on what to see.
Private car tour with Giorgos was well worth the time and money. Exceptional value! Lovely variety where he took us to the primary ancient places and some modern and everyday places as well. Giorgos was knowledgeable, kind-hearted, fun-loving, and fully invested in making our experience personalized to our interests. The car ride was comfortable and the air conditioning was such a relief. We were able to travel to places the buses can’t go. We will be talking about our time with Giorgos and special memories of Athens forever!
We enjoyed a fabulous evening tour around Athens. We were short on time and this private tour was perfect for us. Our driver was knowledgeable and accommodating. Would highly recommend
Absolutely fantastic evening. Giorgos was a fantastic guide and really knowledgable. We had an amazing time and saw so much of Athens. We were not rushed at all and had a pit stop for food enroute.
Excellent tour and guide. Tailored to what we wanted to see and covered Piraeus and Athens . Manos was knowledgeable and passionate about history and culture . Highlight was the cultural centre and changing of the guard outside presidential palace. Manos adapted the tour to ensure we got off the usual tourist route and showcased the very best history and culture . Car was luxurious and clean until the pigeons left their mark during a stop 🤣 would thoroughly recommend this tour if you are in Athens for a short time. Will defiantly be back and would like to take one of Manos other tours outside in Athens
Giorgio was terrific! It was like touring with a friend as he took us around Athens to some hidden gems and brought us to special places with beautiful views of the city and surrounding areas. He found us the best baklava in town and got us to the airport in comfort. We lived touring with him! Highly recommend Greek Experience company and 5 stars to Giorgio!
We spent about the first 40 minutes of the tour listening to the guide give a full history of Athens, while this maybe ok for some people we would have preferred to have spent this time seeing historical sites while learning of its relevance to the Athens history. I thought the price was very expensive considering the nature of the private tour. Hop on hop off bus tour may have been a better choice for significantly less price.
Excellent experience. If you want to know Athens it's the best choice. Manos our driver has excellent knowledge for the monuments of city and a very good sense of humor 100% recommend
We signed up for this tour very last minute as we were flying in in the morning and had a few hours to spare before departing for our cruise later in the afternoon. Me and my wife had a solid time with Manos. He picked us up promptly at the airport and showed us a few of the historical sites. What we really appreciated was the flexibility of the tour. Hungry after the flight? Manos waited for us to grab some food. Wanted to explore a neat part of town? Manos dropped us off and stayed nearby for when we were finished. When we didnt know what to do, he showed us a few historical sites, museums and a beautiful overlook of Athens. It was just a great flexible tour. Thanks Manos. He also spent closer to 5 hours with us [including driving] and never surcharged us for it. It did cost an extra 40 eur to pick us up from airport though.
Giorgos is amazing!! Our tour was exactly what we needed. He was so informative and very professional. He took us to all the places we wanted to see plus showed us some we didn't know about that were a beautiful suprise. We are excited to your with again today!! Thank you Giorgos!
Giorgos was an excellent tour guide. He is a local. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and fun. Highly recommend him. The best ‘surprising” stop was the library where we had 360 degree views of the city!
We only had one day to see the highlights of Athens. In 4 hours George showed us more than we thought we might get to see! He listened to how we wanted our tour to go and delivered! He shared history, along with the well know sites but also, views of life in the neighborhoods. We stopped and took pictures, shopped a little, and he even bought us iced coffee. Even if you think your time is limited, I recommend getting a knowledgeable guide so you can see the most that you possibly can!
We really enjoyed our private tour around Athens with your Giorgos. The fact that it was private and customizable made it way more enjoyable for us as we had one on one time with him learning about the culture of the city in a lot of different areas. We decided to spend a little bit more time and do an audio guided tour at the Acropolis and were able to work that into our agenda with him. He is very personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and really seemed to enjoy what he was doing. This was our first full day in Athens and we really got a good insight to a lot of different areas around the city. We would definitely recommend this tour and especially Giogos , for anyone wanting to be able to see a lot of different areas of Athens yet still be able to customize it to what works for you!
Yargos was excellent. We 100% recommend him. He was very informative throughout the tour and got us in on time to the cruise port. Very hospitable!
The tour was great, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Customized for us, great overview of the city, highly recommend.
Got to see a lot in 4 hours by having a private car. Driver was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Spoke very good English. Sites were amazing. Remember to download any online tickets in advance as you may not have Internet at the sites.
I highly recommend the four hour private tour. Our tour guide was George and he was fabulous. The thing I really appreciated about him was within the first few minutes of the tour, he asked us what we wanted to get out of the tour. We prioritized our time based on our preferences. We were able to view all of the items listed in the agenda. We also spent a good 30+ minutes learning about the history of Athens. Well worth the money and an efficient way to learn a ton and see a great deal of Athens.
This excursion was much more than we expected. Our guide and driver was very informative and friendly. The tour stops provided a varied type of places that made our first trip to Athens very special. We did get to the very famous spots but also others that you wouldn't normally visit but should. Our guide was very flexible with the schedule and never rushed us. If we required more time to explore a certain spot it was encouraged to take as many photos and take our time. The vehicle was very clean and the ride was very smooth. Water was provided and washroom breaks were also scheduled. We would highly recommend this tour.
Highly recommend Manos who tailored a trip around Athens before meeting a cruise. Having toured the historic sites previously we wanted to see some a little different and we weren’t disappointed.
Very very professional. Driver was polite, and eager to answer all questions. She was a real tour guide!!! Taxi was comfy and clean. I recommend it 101%
