This tour is a fantastic way to see Athens. We arraigned pick up at our hotel, then we were off to see Mt Lycabettus. It was fun to drive the twisty road to the top, with just short 5 minute walk to the top. The views from the top — looking down on the city and the Acropolis were breath taking. Then we were off to the changing of the guard at the parliament and thru the Plaka district. The driver Christoph was impressive with his driving skills and allowed ample time to get out and visit the area. He also took us to his favorite bread shop and treated us to a very tasty local sweet bread with sesame seeds. We highly recommend this tour!

Wow! Wow! Wow! We loved every minute of this. It was just myself and my daughter and our tour guide, Joseph. He was incredible and worked hard to find us as our hotel had a similar name to another one. We had a wonderful tour around the city, and went to many great places with lots of great historical insight from our tour Guide. He was more than willing to take photos of us, and answer as many questions as possible. We would do it again! How fun to be in the Tuk Tuk and open air on a beautiful day inGreece.
Our guide Joseph, was very knowledgeable, gave a great tour of city, but tuk tuk in heavy traffic was a little concerning. He was a great navigator through the traffic
Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, communicative, and prompt. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend!
Omgoodness this tour was a full 3 hours and our driver showed us the city whilst stopping for highlights. Panos is a positive and friendly man who goes out of his way for his customers. From this tour, we decided on the areas we wanted to focus our attention.
Excellent guide, fun, lots of sites, knowledgeable, cloudy day, some sun, went to high point, great view.
Wonderful way to learn about Athens. Driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Was picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Highly recommend this adventure.
Joseph our guide, was excited. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and a great driver Electric tuk tuk is the best
Incredible way to see a lot of the highlights of Athens in 3 hours. Joseph was knowledgeable and passionate about his city and country!
Great way to see more of Athens beyond The Acropolis and learn about the amazing history. TukTuk was an easy and speedy way to get around! Our guide was excellent!
This is a great tour to do on the first day. Recommend to take this day on day 1. You learn about various points of interest and you get to experience Athens traffic in a Tuk Tuk! Joseph was our guide and he was fantastic for our 3 hour tour. A great guide for the Athens tour. Highly recommend this tour.
What an amazing 3 hours spent with the wonderful Joseph from the moment we arrived slightly flustered and hot. Joseph put us at ease and made my kids and us so welcome and happy. The tour itself was incredible and very informative but Joseph gave it that personal touch. I couldn’t recommend this company enough. My kids are still talking about the top of Athens and how much they loved it.
I can’t recommend this enough! Joseph was the most interesting guide and we learned so many new and important facts about Athens, Greek history, and saw the most amazing view of the city! Seeing Athens from the tuk tuk was a unique perspective. Learning from Joseph was like a class with Socrates- always questions followed with answers. A fun way to learn.
Joseph - you did a great job giving us a great taste of Greek history, culture and hospitality. You went above and beyond with even accommodating my 6 year old, with getting her your favorite childhood juice box for her. The knowledge and genuine love and energy for all things “Greek” made this tour. Don’t stop what you’re doing - you made our stay in Athens something that we will cherish for years to come! Thank you!
Great private tour. Joseph was very knowledgeable and gave a great overview of all af Athens and a great history lesson.
Absolutely amazing tour. Joseph was so engaging and made history come to life. Incredible storyteller. We and our kids loved every minute of the tour.
Mono was delightful. He made me see Athens through his eyes. He's a wonderful ambassador for your company and a true asset. I'm an 80 year-old grandmother and I would just like to take him home.
If you want a Greek history lesson, Joseph is your guide!!! He was a wealth of information. Enjoyed it so much!
The tour operator, Manos, was absolutely wonderful! He’s very knowledgeable and entertaining. The 3 hours flew by. Would highly recommend.
Outstanding tour! Manos was wonderful as it was just the two of us on board. So grateful that he drove us up close and personal to the various sites including the steep hills. There is far too much walking if you do not do a tour like this to manage. We highly recommend seeing the various areas and sites across the city. We felt very safe and secure too!
The driver, Joseph was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Athens and Greece. We all loved this tour. Would highly recommend for a fantastic overview of Athens
We booked this tour at the very last minute on our final morning in Athens before heading to the airport for our flight home to Australia. The company responded to our enquiry promptly and went out of their way to fit us into our very tight schedule, which we really appreciated. Our guide, Manos, was an absolute delight. He was friendly, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable about Athens, its history, and its culture. His English was excellent, making everything easy to understand and very enjoyable. The tour was the perfect way to end our Greek holiday, and we left feeling that we’d made the most of our last few hours in this beautiful city. We highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Athens, especially if you’re looking for professional service, flexibility, and an exceptional guide. Thank you, Manos, for making our final morning in Greece so memorable!
Our private tour of Athens in a tuk- tuk (all electric!), was the perfect way to get ideas of all the sites to see. We did this tour on our first full day back in Athens after 46 year. Joseph, our master tour guide/driver is native to Athens with perfect English speaking skills if you prefer that language. He picked up right on time and for the next 3 hours he showed us every important site and more. He was very happy we had been here before so he gave an intermediate level of history, culture, historical sites and meaning behind everything we saw since we weren’t new to the history of Athens in particular and Greek civilization in general. However he was equally happy to give first-timer info on new sites/different routes we saw. We went to (stopped at) so many sites of interest including the National Gardens, Temple of Zeus, Constitution Square and the foot of the Acropolis. We stopped for lengthy Q &A sessions at the Agora, the top of Mount Lycabettus (and a magnificent view of all of Athens, Piraeus and beyond), and the Panathenaic stadium. We took a drive thru the expensive Kolonaki neighborhood. I’m mobility, impaired in Joseph took this into consideration at every point possible. He also stopped under the shade of trees due to the heat. Another important factor.This tour and Joseph more than met our expectations. Book it! Ask for Joseph!.
Minolis made this whole Greece Wedding trip even more amazing. The customer service is absolutely over the top. The details on the history of Athens is very dynamic and he gives you the question and answer to make sure you are involved to help you understand so much more about their beautiful history in this beautiful city. We stopped for refreshments and souvenirs as well. This tuk tuk experience was very thought out as it was so easy and exciting. Me and my family will definitely be back to enjoy it again next year. Thank You Manolis for doing what you do and doing it with a passion. You can totally tell this is what you love. See you soon.
Thus was a great way to see Athens especially if you have limited mobility. It was fun and the guide was great!
Manos was our guide and was very knowledgeable about the history of Athens. He was super friendly and allowed us time to stop and take pictures at the various sites. It was a great way to see the highlights on our first day in Athens before we headed to our cruise. The only negative is that our tuk tuk had seats facing each other so two people had to face backwards. This also caused everyone's legs to keep getting in each others way. I was very disappointed because when I first booked this tour, Carlos confirmed via email that we would be able to have forward facing seats instead of one seat facing backward. This wasn't the case and was very uncomfortable. Not sure why they would use backward facing seats for a tour!
Such an amazing trip and the best way to see the highlights of Athens! Joseph was such a knowledgable guide and was so passionate about Greek history. He picked us up from our hotel, which made our start so easy, and he made sure he timed all our stops well so that we could see some specific places at certain times (such as the changing of the guards). He was fantastic with my 12 yr old son and made it so much fun for him. He brought the city and its history to life! Ideal for those who aren't as mobile and also for children who may not want to do much walking but who want to experience the highlights of Athens. A fantastic trip - thank you so much!!
This tour was perfect. Cristos was knowledgeable, personable and tailored this tour to us. We see and learned so many sights and he stopped to make sure I got the best olive oil. He even stopped for us to try excellent Greek yogurt and ice cream! I highly recommend touring Athens this way!
Very educational. His knowledge was fantastic. The driver was personable and humorous. We felt we were special customers.
WONDERFUL!!! Manos was an amazing guide -he shared lots of history that we otherwise would not have known. visited many sites in a day that would have been impossible without Manos! Strongly recommend-and request Manos!
Very informative and a great way to start your Athens trip. Our guide Joseph was incredible. I can't recommend him enough. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the Greek history. He made sure we saw and understood so much. Also as a woman traveling with just her daughter we were very comfortable with him.
What a great way to see the highlights of Athens when you are time-limited! Our driver Chris was very personable and informative. This is our second tuk-tuk tour. We enjoy them so much we have two more coming up, in Barcelona and Porto! Five stars!
Excellent tour & value. Timely confirmation and follow-up on reservation. Reconfirmed the day before. Punctual pick up at hotel. Drove by most of Athens landmarks including the Changing of the Guards and there were ample stops for photos. Our driver was knowledgeable, friendly and spoke excellent English.
Manos was an excellent guide. He navigated the streets and parking to ensure we had great views of the city. He was very kind, helpful and patient with two elder women... especially getting in/out of the vehicle.
We had an amazing time and learned a lot. We recommend to take this at the beginning of your trip so you can plan where you want to go by foot later. Our tour guide, Manos, was friendly and informative.
This was a great way to see many memorable places in a short period of time. I had a blast with my tour guide. I would not recommend the vehicle for those with mobility issues. Wear a hat and windbreaker and off you go!!
My wife and I had an incredible tour with Joseph. He is passionate about Greek history and sharing it with others. He gave in depth descriptions of everything and took us to the best scenic views. I would recommend him and this tour to anyone for a great experience.
Knowledgeable guide. Up close experience Informative. Great way to get around the city to see the highlights.
Manos was our guide and he was so wonderful! He allowed us to walk around the sites we wanted to visit. He was very informative, cordial and helpful with my elderly family members. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and comfortable with our tour.
Historical information with stops at many points of interest. We enjoyed the tour and a great way to capture Athens.
It was a great afternoon and we learned a lot! Our driver was fun and very knowledgeable about all of the sites in Greece. The tuk tuk can go many places a car cannot go. And he picked us up at our hotel!
Very informative my tour guide had work his way from protesters and did a great job of showing me the city
A great experience on a rainy, cold day in Athens. Our driver was so knowledgable and really took time to explain things to us. I learned so much and had a great experience. Worth every cent!
This was an awesome tour. Joseph was amazing. His knowledge of Athens is incredible. He takes you to the key sights. He explains everything clearly. He loves questions and if you want see something else he will take you.
Tuk-Tuk tours are so much more personal and can get to places that the big tour buses can't get to. Chris, our driver, was extremely knowledgeable about Athens and made our tour so much more informational and fun.
Chris was obviously not in the mood to work. He drove the golf Cart like a race car driver and I think he hit every possible bump in the city - to The point that BOTH of us had severe back pain when the tour ended - 45 min early at his doing - not ours. “The tour is over”. No knowledge of history - we googled it ourself. Very very disappointed
Milos was a very knowledgeable guide, allowed us time to observe each stop and waited patiently while we were taking photos and exploring .
TukTuks are a great way to know and get a feeling of any visiting city. This tour of three hours was complete. We got a good feeling of the city in Athens; plus the guide provided good recommendations for our stay. 100% Recommended.
A great tour - we saw many sites with great historical references of Greece’s past. With the tuk tuk, the guide was able to get up close, pull over and sit with us to explain the importance of the sights and history. He was very knowlegdeable, polite and friendly. Highly recommend this tour.
Joseph was fantastic! Despite the weather Joseph showed us the best of Athens and was very insightful.
