This was last minute for us and they were extremely accommodating. Foto was great and so was Nick. Very good English and extremely knowledgeable about Greece. I would highly recommend to family, friends and will repeat next time we are in Greece.
The van was new, clean and comfortable. The driver was on time and communicated very well in English. Our guide was excellent. The information that she provided was exceptional and her English articulation was very clear. She timed our visit to watch the changing of the guards perfectly. This was an unexpected highlight of our tour. The guide and driver also made an excellent recommendation for us for dinner. I highly recommend this tour agency.
I had an 18 hour layover in Athens and wanted to make the best of the time I had there. I contacted this tour company and from the time I stepped off the plane I was greeted by a driver who drove me to the city to start. My first event if the day, the cooking class. Everyone I meet and all my guides were amazing 🤩 and came with their own spirit including my driver. The cooking class and tour was just right. I got to enjoy all the food and didn’t even have to buy any lunch or breakfast. I even got to taste different alcohol/wine. I didn’t have any worries on scheduling my tours. They all were back to back and each guide took me or met me at the next place.
