It was incredible. Our Guide Theodore was very welcoming and attentive. We docked 30 minutes late and we kept communicating very well. It was an incredible day. Theodore was extremely knowledgeable we learned lots about Athens. He’s very passionate about his job and you can tell he loves it and wants you to experience the best of Athens. The van was very clean and cool. We had problems with the website to the acropolis but after lots of glitches we were able to get tickets and Theodore helped tremendously. We actually went to the physical site and all systems were not working on line and in person. We preceded to the museum and tried again after to get the acropolis tickets. We got them and Theodore helped us get in without having to make crazy long lines. We celebrated our 30th anniversary. It was the best day ever and we’re so happy we got to share it with Theodore.

This was a wonderful activity! Our driver was Konstantinos and he took us to all the spots. We really liked him! He also gave us just enough information about each place (where it wasn’t overwhelming) and also let us do our own thing which is exactly what we wanted. Then he took us to see the changing of the guards and told us where to be for the best view! At the end, he took us to a bustling area for food and shopping and the place he recommended for food was splendid! The transportation was very comfortable and had plenty of water. 10/10 recommend this for anyone looking for a more personalized trip exploring Athens!!!
