We had a lovely half day private tour of Athens. Our guide was Giannis and he was very friendly and informative. We felt we had enough time at every site that we visited, and Giannis did a great job of explaining the history of the city and the sights we were visiting. Would definitely recommend this tour.

We had such a great time and am so grateful for our guide who was knowlegable and very kind! Highly recommend if you've only a short time and want to see the highlights of Athens! They were even kind enough to load all our luggage when we were picked up in the morning and then when the tour was over, drop us off at our ship!
