Great tour guide.

An excellent tour guide, not only on the Athens tour, but we also booked him for transfers to and from the airport and ferry terminal. Always punctual, always easy to reach. He is simply a super nice and likable guy. Highly recommended,👍👍👍

Excellent! Two tours and two transfers in two days, couldn't have asked for better.

Ted is a fantastic and personable guide! He adjusted the tour for me to match my physical limitations (I can't climb a lot of stairs) and still made sure that I had a good view of the Acropolis and Parthenon. He's so knowledgeable about Athens. As the tour progresses he pays careful attention to what you particularly enjoy. Then he works that into the tour. For instance, I love street art so he included some great ones along the way. I brought a friend along on the first tour. Halfway through we received a notification that we would have to unexpectedly disembark from our cruise ship that day. Ted immediately went into "Guardian Angel" mode. He helped us find hotel rooms very quickly despite there being two thousand other passengers trying to do the same thing. We were able to arrange a transfer with him to the hotel after we had packed our things while others were waiting for taxis. The next day he did airport transfers for a couple of my friends. I was staying for an extra day in Athens so he suggested a walking tour around Plaka, a beautiful neighbourhood in Athens, along with trying out some food. I'm glad he did because I had a wonderful time! He wasn't done with his "Guardian Angel" mode quite yet. He provided me with an airport transfer the next morning at the same time the taxis in Athens were going on strike. Thank goodness for Ted! The next time I'm in Athens I wouldn't call on anyone else but him for tours or transfers. He's the best. I recommend him 100%. Thanks, Ted! ❤️

Operator response

WOW! Well that review really made my day and put a huge smile on my face! I am glad I was able to help and I am so happy you enjoyed your time in Athens despite that little hiccup with the cruise ship. Next time you or one of your friends are around, I believe you know who to call!!! Better call Ted 🤣

Great tour guide and transport services…

Ted and his company were recommended to us on our recent trip to Greece by friends who had used his transportation services previously and by MotoGreece who we used for our 11 day motorcycle track across Greece (see separate review). Ted met us at the airport and transported us to our hotel for two nights stay in Athens. We utilized his half-day city tour service the next day to get acquainted with some of the popular attractions around Athens. We saw the changing of the guard and he reserved tickets for us to see the Acropolis & Parthenon. We were able to avoid a tremendously long line thanks to his experience, reserving the tickets in advance. It was a fun day and informative tour spent with Ted and we highly recommend partaking of this experience on your next visit to Athens. We additionally used Ted services for transportation to and from the airport and the ports on our extended holiday. He was always punctual, efficient and greeted us with a smile and a cold bottle of water. Ted has an extensive knowledge of Greece and we highly recommend him for both tours in transportation service .
