Peter was very helpful. Even though we had requested a 9am pickup from the airport, we had provided our flight information and he was waiting for us when we cleared customs at 8am. Great tour. Peter didn’t rush us, but made some solid recommendations. We got to spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. Highly recommend!

We have done several private tours (Greece and Italy), and truly this was the best private tour we have ever had. Aristotle is a history/archaeology major so he makes the history of the places come alive and memorable. Aristotle had an ipad that showed us what the places looked like in their prime, really helped you visualize the places you were visiting. He knows the most efficient routes of getting around to maximize the visit and the best places to take a picture. If you’re trying to get instagram worthy pictures, Aristotle is the guy that knows all the angles. We love customized tours so it can be tailored to our interests and Aristotle did a great job of showing Athens with love. Highly recommend Aristotle and Petros as the driver.
