Chris was very attentive and was an excellent driver around the city. He acted more like a driver than a guide, which is why I gave this a 4 overall. Would have liked more information about each of the sites and perhaps some narrative as we were going around.

This tour was really great. The ease of getting picked up at the cruise terminal and taken to all of the sites we wanted to see was essential, especially in the heat. Our guide Stefanos was really informative about the city and made sure to communicate with us regarding the things we did and didn’t want to see. We would definitely do this again and recommend Stefanos.

What a fantastic day we had with Peter, i cannot recommend this company enough. We visited all the places i had hoped to and the knowledge of Peter was second to none! We were on a cruise - we were met straight of the ship and dropped back off at the port. When comparing with cruise tours there is no comparison in price/ itinerary/ knowledge and personality. I have recommended this tour in the cruise social media pages, Peter made out time in Athens so special - if we ever return i would 100 do a full day tour
