It was a rainy day but we saw everything we hoped to see and more thanks to our excellent guide Fotis. He was very personable and flexible which made touring during the rainy day work pretty well. Fotis was very knowledgeable about the sites we saw as well as Athens in general. We learned a lot! He dropped us off at a very nice place for lunch - good food, helpful staff, reasonable prices, and not too crowded. He took us to see the changing of the guards by the Presidential Palace. It was not very crowded there and we even got to take our picture with a guard. Wonderful to see this so close!! All in all a great tour.

We took the Athens Full Day Private Tour & we were very lucky to have gotten Fotis as our driver. He was fabulous - so helpful & knowledgeable about the city & all the amazing sites. It was truly one of the most relaxing & enjoyable tours of a foreign city that we have ever had because Fotis took care of everything. Dropped us right at the front door of the attraction & then magically appeared out of nowhere (no idea how he finds parking????)to pick us up when we were done. Highly recommend Xenon Travel Greece & of course, Fotis - we guarantee you will enjoy the experience!
