Our private driver Vasilis took us to many places so that we could enjoy vistas overlooking the city during the sunset and explore various neighborhoods. He shared much interesting information about the history and culture of Athens.
Driver was very informative and jknowledgable
Great booking. Extremely knowledgeable guide. English was so easy to understand. Answered all our questions and navigated the narrow streets with lots of people on them with ease.
Excellent private tour, customized based on our experience. Nicklos was very knowledgeable and pleasure!!
This trip is so worth it! I knew seeing Athens would be beautiful but there is nothing like seeing it at night! Dimitris was our tour guide and we loved him so much! I would highly recommend it!
We weren't sure what to expect with this private night tour as it all comes down to the quality of the driver, which is unknown until you meet them. We were very fortunate to have Anastasios as our driver/guide. He arrived early to our hotel and greeted us very warmly. He is fluent in English, very charming and knowledgable and clearly has a deep love of Athens. He took us on a wonderful tour of the main sites as well as some others that are lesser known and very interesting. We had ample to exit the vehicle and walk around at places that interested us. Anastasios was very accommodating and made sure we never felt rushed. I recommend that you request Anastasios when booking this tour as I can't imagine anyone else would be as good.
Your experience is largely dependent on the driver personality and their use of English. We thought it took too much time for what little we saw and would have preferred to have just had a nice dinner out.
Terrible, they never showed up at our hotel for our tour! We were very disappointed! 2 trips out of 3 tours we booked with them have been cancelled by them.
