George was an amazing tour guide. He took us to every spot we wanted to go to and gave us time to take pictures. He was helpful in pointing out places we didn’t know about we learned all about the history of Athens. 100% recommend going on the tour.
Nikos (Yomadic Tours) is an exceptional guide, and our Athens tour with him was incredible! His English is great, and he made sure our transportation between the chaotic city sites was completely seamless and stress-free. Beyond the history, he gave us fantastic recommendations for local restaurants that we loved. Nikos has a wonderful sense of humor that kept everyone engaged—our entire family, including our teenage son, had a fantastic time. We were so happy to have him as our guide again!
Excellent tour. Fully customizable. Knowledgeable guide (George). Would highly recommend. 10 out of 10.
George was full of knowledge & treated us like royalty. He had set out a day of great stops. He let us change it as we felt.

George met us on time, was excellent with our 10 year old son. He was full of great knowledge, ideas and communicated well with us throughout the tour. He also made sure we knew where and when to meet him, sent us regular WhatsApp notes, dropped pins for locations and made sure he was always doing as we wished. We loved the little side stops he suggested and we had a really great time. We would book again!

JG Athens Tour company emailed us prior to our trip giving us instructions for our Acropolis tickets as well as providing directions about how to connect with our driver at the cruise port. Our driver was very punctual and my husband and I had a wonderful tour. Our driver was also sure to stop at various locations to snap a picture of us where there were beautiful views. It was a great way to see the sights.
