An absolutely amazing tour that exceeded our expectations. Great communication prior to the tour with all of my questions being answered promptly. Our wonderful guide was waiting for us as we disembarked our cruise ship. He was warm, welcoming and had good English. Our guide was organised and had a clear plan of our tour which was timed perfectly. We never felt rushed and enjoyed just the right amount of time in each spot. Our tour was called Athens’ Finest and it absolutely was! We saw all of the most iconic spots in Athens but most importantly, our guide provided us with information about each attraction which was so important for us to have the full experience and understanding of the places we were visiting. I really wonderful tour and great value for money. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Athens.
Thank you once again for your kind words. It really means a lot to us. We try to offer you the best experience and give you reasons to come back!
Dimitris was super, lots of info, made sure we had time at all the stops & was a wealth of information
Thank you very much! We hope to see you again in Greece and experience even more!
Evangelos was prompt and met us directly at the entrance/exit of the cruise port. Immediately he went into telling us fascinating facts about the culture, daily life, and history of Piraeus and Athens. This guy knew his stuff. I really liked how he not only talked about historical aspects of Athens (which is obviously important) but he also dove deep into family life, daily life, cultural traditions, entertainment and even architecture, city planning, and zoning. He was a wealth of knowledge. The ride was extremely comfortable and he took us to go see some out of tis world sites. Even though there was some traffic in the city as we were driving around, he kept us entertain and entranced with his knowledge, but there was also a good balance of silence and letting us look around uninterrupted. Evangelos somehow got us to the changing of the guard, at the EXACT perfect time. I was thoroughly impressed. As much my mother and I loved our experience around the city, my favorite part was when he went out of his way to find us a good Greek restaurant so that we could grab some togo Gyros and Souvlaki to go before getting back on our cruise ship. I should have bought two extra gyros, they were SOOOO good. Thanks Evangelos, you made my Mom and my first trip to Athens a very memorable one, and I am already planning my return!
Thank you very much for your detailed review. We are happy to hear that you are planning your return and we hope to have even more beautiful experiences in the future! We look forward to seeing you again!
Whilst on a recent Greek cruise we had Athens as one of our destinations so I researched an independent tour.Brilliant couple of hours seeing the sites of Athens.Excellent communication, Michel our driver was waiting for us at the cruise terminal, very knowledgeable and adaptable for what we wanted to see during the 4 hours. Have used Viators now for several countries and would continue to trust them for independent tours.
Thank you very much for your kind words ! We hope to see you in the future for more experiences !
