We booked this online after arriving into Athens on a cruise and having a late afternoon flight out. We were picked up at the cruise terminal and were driven on a nice tour of the Athens coast and temple of Poseidon. Our driver, Nikos, was great. He was on time and was always in communication with us. I would highly recommend booking with them.
Great experience. The best way to go around Athens without tiredness and see as much as possible! I highly recommend!!
Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re really happy you enjoyed the tour and the experience. It was a pleasure meeting you — hope to see you again in Athens!
