My family and I spent just over a week in Greece (husband and 9 year old son) and while in Mykonos we met a large family who were also visiting and when they found out we were heading to Athens next, they raved about a great tour and guide and said if we had time, we absolutely had to do it. They connected me with Dimitris, who was super quick to respond. Even though it was short notice, they were not only able to get us in for the full day Athens tour (with Poseidon Temple), they were also able to arrange for airport pick up and drop off in a private car.
First, the airport transfers were fantastic! The drivers were on time and very professional. The cars were clean and had plenty of space for the 3 of us. The cost was very reasonable (I priced out Uber to compare) and it was well worth it knowing someone would be waiting and get us to and from the airport timely.
For the tour, we were fortunate enough to get Dimitris himself. He was so knowledgeable! We attempted to start at the Acropolis, but because there was already a line, he suggested that we continue with the rest of the tour and do that last, when the lines were not so long. It worked perfectly! We visited the Temple of Zeus, Panathenaic Stadium (and make sure to pay to go inside and go inside the stadium and check out all the Olympic torches on display!), Temple of Poseidon, and the Acropolis - plus other places along the tour (including seeing the Changing of Guards at the Parliament). We stopped and enjoy an authentic Greek lunch with a beautiful view of the ocean! Dimitris recommended a few authentic dishes to try and they were so good! His knowledge of the places we visited and the history of it all was so interesting and hearing all the stories as we drove around really added so much character to the tour. Plus, he was just a fun guy and really personable.
If you are in Athens and have a day and want to explore all the top spots with an experienced guide, this is the company to use. We are already looking forward to going back and doing a 2-3 day tour and be able to get out of the city and see places such as Olympus and Sparta. Thank you again Dimitris!!!
