We did a personalized tour of Athens that was phenomenal. From the beginning, George was very accommodating with last minute changes and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The tour guide he provided for the the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum was very knowledgeable and engaging. In addition, we had a wonderful lunch near the Acropolis with the menu all chosen by George. I would highly recommend Pictours of Greece. When we go back I intend to book all my Greek tours through this company.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such a great experience. We can’t wait to welcome you back and show you even more of Greece!
Niki was an exceptionally professional, knowledgeable guide who made our experience wonderful. We spent the day touring and learning all about Athenian history and so much more. Our luncheon dining at God’s Restaurant was also fabulous. George was very helpful and responsive in planning and setting up our reservations.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your private tour, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Outstanding tour. Tour guide was a walking, talking, encyclopedia on the history of Greece up to present day. It was obvious that he takes great pride in his knowledge of Greek history and imparting that to his customers. Must be in decent shape for this tour as it was eight hours of walking on sometimes uneven terrain. The meal included as part of the tour was a mix of traditional dishes and was delicious. Would definitely recommend this tour.
This tour exceeded all expectations. It absolutely exceeded all expectations. They were well organized and very friendly. Our guide was amazing. He was super fun and very informative. But more importantly, he was very engaging. He made the sites and information come to life. It was a long day but, he made it fun and interesting throughout. I would absolutely recommend this tour and this company. I will definitely use them again if I get the opportunity to return to Greece.
