Pickup Locations & Times
How do we meet our driver? 1. Airport After collecting your luggage and clearing customs, if necessary, you will be directed to the public lounge. There, you will see many people waiting for the passengers, some of them holding up signs with names on them. Your driver will be there holding a sign with your name or whatever else you chose to be on it. Please make sure that you have my phone number with you and let me know immediately if you think something is not in order, for example, an especially long wait for your luggage or even missing luggage. The driver will wait for you until 90 minutes after your plane lands. If, for some reason, you miss your flight or your flight is cancelled or scheduled for a long delay, please contact me and let me know your new flight details. This way, you will avoid being charged. 2. Cruise terminals There are two different terminals for cruise ships, Terminal A and Terminal B. Please exit from the gate where your cruise ship has docked. You will meet our driver in the public area just outside the gate after clearing with customs (if necessary). The driver will be holding a sign with your name on it. Please take special care to verify with the driver that he is from our group. Sometimes, when a surname is common, visitors get mixed up and follow a different driver! Again, make sure that you have my phone number with you, and let me know immediately if you think something is not in order. 3. Hotels Picking you up from a hotel is usually much easier than from anywhere else. We usually park the car in front of the hotel and meet there. Most of the time, doormen know us and can direct you to us too. However, some hotels don’t have sufficient parking space at their main entrance, and in case the driver does not find you in front of the hotel, he will make a small circle and come back again. This only takes a few minutes. Rest assured that he will be there for you. 4. Ferries When disembarking from the ferry, there is usually great commotion. People and cars disembark at the same time. For safety reasons, port authorities do not allow people waiting to approach very close. Your driver will be waiting for you with a sign with your name at the nearest possible spot. Please take a look around as soon as you get off the ferry.

Constantine was amazing! Very knowledgeable of the area and showed us locations we never would have found on our own. His knowledge of the Apostle Paul made the experience all the more exciting, and his faith is inspiring!
Thank you very much Justin_5 for your wonderful review we hope to even better ourselves
My wife and I had an outstanding private Biblical tour of Athens and Corinth with Michael. I had let him know in advance that my wife has mobility issues and uses a rolling walker. Unknown to Michael, we were able to borrow a wheelchair for covering longer walks in addition to hving her usual rolling walker. We met him at the cruise terminal. Michael had had a hunch we needed more room and so came with his minibus that had lots of room for the wheelchair, walker and us instead of the usual SUV for 2 people. In addition, he brought along his 17-year-old grandson thinking he could help us with any mobility issues! Off we all went for a wonderful narrated tour of Athens and Corinth. His grandson, who spoke excellent English, was so personable and helpful. Whenever my wife needed to use the wheelchair to cover longer distances, he pushed her around in the wheelchair (saving my energy and allowing me to explore easier). This was especially helpful navigating the uneven pathways at the Corinth runins. He even climbed up some steep stone stairs to the top of Mars Hill to take pictures of the great city views of Athens with my camera! After touring Corinth with its excellent museum, which is on a mountain slope, Michael took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch (meal cost not included) near the mountaintop with great food and views of the surrounding mountains. Michael was very knowledgeable of Athens and Corinth and especially its Biblical history. He and his grandson were so friendly and helpful that it felt more like friends giving us the tour than a commercial tour. The sites we saw were highlights of our trip, but Michael’s thoughtfulness and kindness to bring a larger vehicle and his grandson to help went above and beyond and will never be forgotten! He deserves a 6 star recommendation!
Thank you very much daydream it makes me feel good, with you and your wife enjoying your day so much it makes me want to do better and better. Thank you
Michael picked us up promptly at the scheduled time in a spacious Mercedes van. He was an excellent tour guide with lots of stories and explanations of the planned sites but also just interesting things along the way We were equally entertained and educated about Paul’s travels through Ancient Greece. We had a great time with a number of stops at ancient sites along Paul’s route. Also Michael took great care of us along the way with several stops for restroom visits and to grab some refreshments. Finally he topped it all off by taking us to a great mountain top restaurant next to Acrocorinth castle and overlooking Corinth and the bay. We had a great time and well with the price.
Thank you very much foe the wonderful review May God bless you
Michael was fantastic. His knowledge of biblical history and specifically the Apostle Paul was great. He read scripture at points of interest and was able to answer our questions. Thank you Michael and God Bless!
Thank you so much for your review, I’m so happy you enjoyed the day may God bless you both
Our day with Michael was a fantastic experience for our first trip to Athens. We were excited to see “Footsteps of Paul” offered with the trip to Corinth. Michael is passionate about his country and his beliefs. He can quote the verses pertaining to Paul and relate them exactly to what we were seeing, and where we were walking. His knowledge of Greek history, geography and archeology is vast and he was very patient to answer all our questions. He tailored our day to exactly what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. At each location he told us what to look for that we might otherwise never see. We never felt rushed and were free to spend as long as we wanted at each point of interest. My favorite was standing at the Bema in Ancient Corinth, to be exactly where Paul was. Very moving. This was a fantastic day and I only wish I could think of more questions to bug Michael with! Highly recommend.
Thank you for the lovely review, it’s my pleasure to be with you, always trying to improve and give more of myself Hope to see you again
Michael has been very friendly and reliable. He is full of knowledge with places to visit in Athens. He is always polite , a true gentleman, welcoming and arrives on time when we needed him. We went to see Delphi, Corinth and Mycenae. We really enjoyed Michael’s company a lot! We highly recommend Michael and his taxi company to everyone who comes to visit Athens.
Thank you for your review Laserx I’m happy you enjoyed your tour with me I hope to see you again soon
Professional service with knowledgeable expert. Christian believer with in-depth knowledge of local history as well as biblical references. Mike shared knowledge of area and referenced biblical history bringing the tour to life and keeping it very interesting. Highly recommended and would use again.
Tank you very much for your wonderful review, hit reply makes want to improve my performance and better service, please come back again in the near future
Michael has been absolutely wonderful as our tour guide. Great commentary and wealth of knowledge as we seen different sights. Would absolutely recommend booking with him. We have several other tours that we lined up ⬆️ n advance and wished we would have known Micheal ahead of time. We would have booked the rest with him!
Thank you for your great review Shelley, I’m very happy that you enjoyed your day with me and looking forward to seeing you again
We used Athens Taxi Tours multiple times during our trip. From airport pick up, to a full day tour of Corinth, Nafplio, etc., a tour of the temple of Poseidon.......and finally also for airport drop off. We were pleased to initially work with Michael in making all the arrangements. He was thorough in quoting us prices on schedules and itineraries we requested. Throughout our stay we were driven by Nikolai. Nikolai was prompt, knowledgeable, professional and extremely pleasant to work with. Making suggestions for a better experience and accommodating our last minute change of plans. Their vehicles are clean, well maintained and come equipped with WiFi (which was better than the place we stayed at). Their prices were extremely competitive. I highly recommend their services.
Thank you very much DanFam2011 I’m so happy that you enjoyed your trips with us your review can only help us get better. We hope to see you again in the near future.
