Unforgettable time! Book Ted!

We were two couples visiting Greece from the US, and hiring Ted as our guide was hands-down one of the best decisions of our trip. We first booked Ted for a private city tour of Athens. He was so outstanding that we immediately booked him again for a full-day private tour of the monasteries in Meteora, and then arranged for him to take us to the airport on our departure day as well! Our full-day tour exploring the monasteries of Meteora was unforgettable. Ted’s knowledge of Greek history, culture, and even world history is incredibly impressive. He explained everything in a way that was engaging, detailed, and easy to understand. His English is impeccable, which made the experience even more enjoyable and seamless for us. Beyond his expertise, Ted is simply a wonderful person, friendly, accommodating, professional, and genuinely warm. We were traveling with our 1-year-old daughter, and he was amazing with her. He was patient, thoughtful, and always made sure we were comfortable throughout long touring days. If you are visiting Greece and want a guide who is knowledgeable, reliable, and truly cares about your experience, book Ted. We gave him 5 stars, but honestly, we would give him 10 if we could! Highly, highly recommend

I feel honored to receive a review like that! You know I enjoyed spending time time with you all. I always have a special burden on my shoulders when I have a "superstar" baby on board and seeing her smile at me was a real relief! Thanks again for everything and I am looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Outstanding Private Tour and Guide

We had an absolutely fantastic private tour to Meteora with Ted of Athens Experiences. Due to an unexpected change of plans during our trip, we made a last-minute request for a tour to Meteora. We were grateful Ted was able to fit us into his schedule (literally overnight) -- and for his swift responses and excellent communication. He is professional, knowledgeable and fun! His van is pristine and comfortable. We were especially appreciative of Ted's accommodation and kindness in assisting my older son, who sprained his ankle earlier on our trip. This was the first time we booked tour services and drivers for an international trip, and I was a little nervous about how it would all go. Thankfully, we lucked out and met Ted! Not only did he take us to Meteora, but drove us to other locations (including a 3 am drop off at the airport), offering colorful commentary and entertaining retellings of relevant history to the places we traveled. And he even had outstanding restaurant recommendations, which resulted in us having a special meal at a Michelin star restaurant on our last night in Greece. My two sons (ages 17 and 19) and I couldn't have had a better trip to Greece -- and Ted was an important part in making our experience so awesome. Highly recommend Ted and Athens Experiences!
