Our small group ended up actually just being my husband and I so it made the experience all the more enjoyable and romantic. Our driver was Manos and we loved him- he was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Between the conversation and the stunning coastal view, the drive certainly didn’t feel long. And the sunset we saw when we got to the temple actually rivaled the one we saw in Santorini!
We actually did two tours with Andreas because he was so amazing. He is warm and welcoming and knows everything about Athens and Greece. He is very passionate and friendly and made us feel like family. He made our Athens experience so special. I miss Athens and Andreas so much now that we are heading home. Andreas took care of everything, the huge van we rode in was luxurious, he timed everything perfectly with the sunset, had tickets for us to be able to walk right in to see the temple. The views and sunset were breathtaking. Hengameh took us to a hidden gem of a restaurant for dinner. Due to the time of year, we were the only people in the restaurant. We were treated like VIPs and the food was outstanding. We would have never had this experience without Andreas. I highly recommend you book all of your Athens experiences with Olive Sea Travel and Andreas, you are in for a treat and will find the heart of Greece.
Thank you for this incredibly beautiful review, dear John! It means more than we can express to know that your time in Athens felt so special and that you connected so deeply with Andreas! Andreas’ greatest joy is making guests feel like family and sharing the heart, history, and soul of his homeland, so knowing that this came through in your experience means everything to us. We’re also happy you enjoyed your dinner, the sunset, and those unforgettable views—those quiet, magical moments are exactly what we hope our guests take home with them. It was an absolute pleasure taking care of you, and we feel truly honored that you chose Olive Sea Travel for your Athens journey. Athens will always be waiting for you, and when you return, our entire team will be ready to welcome you back like old friends. Until then, safe travels home—and thank you for carrying a piece of Greece with you!
We had Panos as driver and tour guide, we were alone with him as private tour.The drive was long to the temple and he told us so many wonderful things about Athina, Greece,history and stories alike and recommendations what to see,where to eat...it was really enjoyable. Can only recommend it!
Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled to hear Panos made your private tour enjoyable with his knowledge and recommendations. Your kind words mean a lot, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!
Theodore was our guide and the whole experience was excellent! He was beyond accommodating and even asked us if we wanted to be taken to an authentic seafood dinner after the sunset, which of course, we did! He really made the evening wonderful!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear Theodore made your evening so special and went the extra mile with the seafood dinner recommendation. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him!
5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andreas was our guide and picked us up at our hotel. The Small Group tour turned out to be pretty small - just me and my husband! We couldn't have been happier as Andreas was absolutely delightful! Knowledgeable, funny, and truly proud of his country (as he should be); Seeing Vouliagmeni Lake was great, and learning about all the small beach towns along the way was a treat. Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon is a must see/sea; beautiful site, and the sunset was worth the price of admission. Highly Recommend! We will definitely book another tour with Olive Sea Travel in the future - give Andreas a raise!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your private tour with Andreas and the stunning sights. Your kind words mean a lot, and we’ll pass your praise along to him!
Our professional guide Andreas could not have been more warm, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He knew everything and nearly everyone in both Athens (from our full-day tour with him the day before) and in/around our Sunset Tour area (including directing us to a simply marvelous pre-sunset dinner spot). We felt like family - to be continued in the future!
Thank you, Frank! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable experience with Andreas. Your kind words mean a lot, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future!
This trip was a highlight of my trip to Athens with my parents. Nassos was an excellent guide - informative, helpful, and kind. He was inclusive of the more reserved members of our group, and shared a ton of interesting information in response to our questions. The trip was lovely. There were several stops on the way to the Temple of Poseidon with plenty of photo opportunities, Lake Vouliagmeni was a highlight and a wonderful destination in and of itself. In my view, the Temple of Poseidon is the most picturesque temple in the area and definitely worth the visit. We ended with dinner at a nice seafood restaurant following a gorgeous sunset. I would do it all over again if given the chance. I was very happy with the communication with the company as well - they promptly answered my questions over email after initiating contact via a form on their website. Now I am thinking where else I can go in my next visit!
Thank you for choosing Olive Sea Travel for your holidays and the kind feedback about Nasos! It is always our aim to make your tours in Greece an experience to remember and to meet your expectations. Nasos is a professional driver with great knowledge in Greek history and mythology and very passionate about his job. He is an incredible ambassador of Greece and loves revealing you some of his secrets. All we in Olive Sea Travel try our best to show you Greece we know and love and make you feel like travellers, not tourists. Thank you again for the nice review. We hope to see you again in Greece! Kind regards, Alexander Petronikolos
