Our guide, Nikos, was a wonderful tour guide. He was very personable and knowledgeable, and brought a very personal touch to everything we did that day.

Having only one full day in Athens, I read as many reviews as I could before booking this full-day tour guided by Theo. I am still in awe of all I was able to see, all with a knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and kind guide. I began at The Acropolis right when they opened, so I felt like I had it to myself. Same with the Acropolis Museum an hour later. Theo was so flexible - when I asked "what's that?" about something atop a hill, he said, "do you want to go there?" and we did - thus resulting in the BEST views/photos of the city (Chapel of St. George - Mt. Lycabettus).
We also visited the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, the Changing of the Guards at Athens Parliament and the Panathinaic Olympic Stadium...all in one day and this included a lovely Greek lunch!
Nikos handled my booking with great care and detail from beginning to end. I ended up booking Theo for my airport transfer the next day, and was grateful for the chance to thank him again for the incredible tour!
As a solo traveler, I appreciated this experience which felt like touring a new city with a friend. Thank you to Theo and Nikos!!

We used EUDAIMONIA Private Tours for this half day tour and were blown away by the friendly, informative guide to the temple of Poseidon. I have misplaced the business card but our owner driver made many additional stops along the way to accomodate my wife's love of photography. His wife cooked some amazing greek areas for us to enjoy. on our way back to our hotel our tour was kindly extended to take in Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center, Athens, Greece. ... where the new Greek National Library and Opera House are located. .We loved the interior the library, the greenery and the architecture. We found out during our tour we could have booked EUDAEMONIA for the four day tour we took from Athens, including the Meteora Monasteries for not much more than we paid for the G.O. Tours (we would probably never use them again). We also booked EUDAEMONIA for our transfer to Athens Airport...same price and far more comfortable than a taxi. If in Athens i would not use anyone else but EUDAEMONIA.
