About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- SanthoshHari0 contributionsA trip to Olympic HistoryGeorge was very much helpful with details of the history related to the places we visited and took our opinion every time we took a break. He also stopped for a small break at beach on the return journey. The tour was worth to know about Corinth and Olympia in detail. I would recommend this trip to anyone who are planning to visit Olympia.Written 16 March 2025
- Ariana L0 contributionsPhenomenal experienceSpiros was absolutely incredible. Knowledgable, thoughtful, friendly, and immediately we felt comfortable and cared for. Would 100% recommend. Meteora is a memory that will last a lifetime and Spiros was the icy on the cake.Written 14 March 2025
- TrinketTobin0 contributionsStress free from airport to hotelOur driver Fotis (sp?) was excellent. He met us and helped with luggage drive safely and was friendly and knowledgeable!Written 12 March 2025
- deniseaW4576PS0 contributionsFinest Tour We Have Ever Taken!!! Take This Tour!!!Our tour to Delphi and Thermopylae was magnificent! Our driver George was outstanding, friendly, and 100% professional. He met us a few minutes early at pickup point. Vehicle was extremely comfortable and spotless. This is a first-class tour company and we most highly recommend. I have taught World History and Advanced Placement European History for 30 years - George is extremely knowledgeable about classical and modern Greek history, as well as Greece during Byzantine age and Cold War. Our drive to Delphi was smooth and we had it all to ourselves before the tour busses arrived!!! Our photos of nature and classical Greek history are outstanding! George then made arrangements for our lunch reservation at a wonderful little mountain village - I don’t remember the name but we had a magnificent lunch! Our next stop at Thermopylae was inspiring. Western Civilization was saved at this spot through the sacrifice of Leonidas and his 300 Spartans. It was a dream come true to finally see the places I have taught students about for decades. My wife and I have enjoyed many tours with various companies. This was the finest tour we have ever done!!! I cannot say enough nice things about George - he is a wonderful gentleman and a consummate professional. Ask for him personally!!! Ty and Denise from USA. Sent from my iPhoneWritten 10 March 2025
- 60melyc0 contributionsWe had a marvelous time!We had a marvelous time! Our tour driver/guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Greece’s History, and also culinary endeavors, social nuances and anything in between! There was no way to stump Michael! So nice, polite and an excellent driver to put some icing on the cake! We wholeheartedly recommend My Athens Transfers (www,myathenstransfers.com) for any tours they offer and specially Michael for how extraordinary he made our day trip to Olympia!Written 8 March 2025
- SMOHAN19770 contributionsGreat experienceA lovely peep into history…Panos added to our comfort and our knowledge in multiple ways. Mycenae was majestic, Napflio was quaint while Epidaurus was a well preserved journey back in time. Stoppage at Corinth was an added feature. The fact that there was no entrance fee to any of the sites on the day we visited was a bonus! The lunch at Napflio was interesting…pity we couldn’t enjoy it much as our sense of comfort with cats is nowhere near the local levels! Thoroughly enjoyed.Written 6 March 2025
- Lute22440 contributionsWell Worth the SplurgeHad a lovely time with Michael. The trip was well coordinated and Michael provided enough context before each site to help me engage with each location while I was there. Lunch was also nice. If you want to get out of Athens, I’d absolutely recommend splurging on this tourWritten 19 February 2025
- KeithW15160 contributionsJust Do It. It was a good experience.Spiros our driver was delightful. Pleasant, friendly, informative, accommodating and a really good driver. Throughout the journey he would answer questions and also point out points of interest. He recommended a good local restaurant in Nafplio serving good local food and we enjoyed it. The van was in immaculate condition. We had sufficient time at all the stops and he never once rushed us. Would definitely recommend this tour and Spiros!Written 13 February 2025
- Ambutka0 contributionsOur excursion to Poseidon’s Temple was a highlight of our stay in Athens.Great excursion. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about ancient history and culture. It was fun, too.Written 5 February 2025
- janehH5984SI0 contributionsThe best way to experience Athens in a short timeGeorge provided quality service and a tour that far exceeded our expectations! We had changes at the last minute that were accommodated easily. George made sure our day in Athens left us feeling like we truly saw the city and experienced the culture. 5 stars are not enough!Written 3 February 2025
- ba356780 contributionsFun Day Tour of CorinthGeorge was great! It was a great trip to Corinth to get to see some of the places where Paul walked and the many archeological sites in Corinth. If you’re looking for in depth Biblical knowledge definitely do some research beforehand to know what you’re looking at, but overall it was a great tour.Written 18 January 2025

- Amanda L0 contributionsBeautiful SunsetWe did the sunset tour to the Poseidon Temple. It was a lovely drive and a beautiful sunset. Michael was a wonderful driver. He drove very safely. He also was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts along the way.Written 31 December 2024
- patsudaa20150 contributionsWonderful half day private tour to Temple of PoseidonI booked our sunset tout to the Temple of Poseidon through the website whyathens.com which I believe it’s run by local. Our driver actually came to pick us up before the actual schedule that we thought it would be at 2:30 pm but he actually contacted me since 1:40 pm which I wonderful so we could get back to our air b&b not too too late. Our driver name is Stefan, he’s really knowledgeable and helpful. Anything that we need or any questions, he can answer them all and give us a very good suggestion on where to eat or what to do also. He also took us to a restaurant afterwards which was great and we enjoyed all of our 5 hours that we’ve spent today having him as our private driver/tour guide. I would recommend him 100million times more for anyone who visiting Greece. This is our very first time in Greece and we’ve enjoy every moment of it. 💕💕Written 28 December 2024

Michael was our driver, one of the best drivers I've ever been in a vehicle with, and he was an excellent, excellent chauffeur. We were picked up at our doorstep and taken right back there again after our 10-hour long tour.
The list of stops for this tour: Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Nafplio, does not tell the whole story of our tour at all.
Because it was just us, we got to hang out at the attractions for as long or short an amount of time as we wanted. Sweet! And it's really nice being dropped off at the entrance o an attraction, then picked up at the exit.
The canal stop was short and sweet, but the amphitheater was a long one. Again, our choice. We just texted him when we were ready to leave.
Michael was great conversation too, answering all our questions and telling us lots of history along the way. My brain was full by the end of it.
One last thing, Michael had the good sense to engage us when we wanted, and he was quiet when it was obvious we just wanted to soak in the atmosphere.
It was a pretty quiet ride from about halfway back to Athens because two of our group feel asleep in the back seat.
This tour felt absolutely luxurious.

Had a great time on this trip and covered so many amazing places in one day! Petros (Peter) is one of the nicest and most down to earth person I’ve met. He was the driver for this tour and the one on the day before to Cape Sounio and was extremely professional and went above and beyond to make sure it was a great trip - including bring coffee in morning, stopping for fresh organic oranges and pointing out key historical/cultural sites. Even though it was a long drive, it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting as it was a very scenic drive through the country, with Petros explaining more about Greek culture, history and more broadly life in Greece. It really felt like driving with a local friend!
Also loved that they were willing to amend the itinerary to include a short stop to the Acrocorinth, very happy I booked this tour!

A wonderful day trip hosted by Anthony, who is the best! Anthony is an excellent driver, He is friendly and easy to talk to. He knows a lot about the culture and history of the places we visited
and I would strongly recommend this tour, with Anthony, to anyone.
As a special addition, it was a holiday and Napthlio was packed. Anthony took us to a small fishing village and we had a delicious lunch along the water at a small cafe. I strongly recommend this tour, this company to all travelers.

We loved our experience with myAthensTransfers and with our guide George. Normally, we might have rented a car to do a day trip. Given we did not have much time in Athens, and felt intimidated driving in Greece, we opted for this private tour. Absolutely loved the experience and now considering this for other trips. We saw way more than we'd seen if we had gone solo. George knew what was feasible with our timeline and was able to tweak the itinerary to fit our needs. We also appreciated all of George's knowledge and experience, both as a citizen and as a tour guide. Definitely recommend if visiting Greece

The entire day was a dream come true for this history lover. Tom, our driver, made the day even more special by being so efficient, accommodating, and having many pieces of useful information. Since we had chosen not to get the Greek meal and just get a snack, he took us to a charming local bakery to get Greek pies and then drove a few minutes down the coast so we could eat lunch looking out on the Aegean Sea. On the drive home, he stopped to give us more beautiful photo ops. The best thing about these private tours is that you can change the itinerary according to your interests. We were able to spend two hours at the ruins of Mycenae and the museum and another hour plus at Epidaurus by dropping other items on the itinerary. It allowed us to have a perfect day catered to our interests.

Our friendly, very helpful and supportive tour guide Andreas came to pick us up at 9:45 am in front of our hotel, on time, we departed from Athens, the drive to Ancient Corinth with Andreas was very pleasant, Andreas explained a lot of Ancient Greek history around Corinth, Mycenae, Epipdaurus and Nafplio, on the way Andreas was very kind to stop at the Canal and explain the historical significance of the Canal, we then drove to our first stop which was Ancient Corinth, very beautiful and breath taking views, the museum of Corinth was filled with beautiful historical artefacts, from there we drove towards the acropolis of ancient Corinth, most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece with jaw dropping, mesmerising views, from there we drove towards Nafplio, had lunch there where Andras recommended local Greek restaurant, lunch was super delicious, after lunch we headed towards the Fortress of Palamidi, once again, very beautiful views, weather was lovely, and we then headed towards our final destination of Mycenae an ancient city with classical Greek culture located on a small hill between two larger hills on the fertile Argolid Plain in Peloponnese, with breath taking views. Overall we had a pleasant journey, driving there and back with Andreas was entertaining, a wonderful experience. Highly recommended to anyone planning of visiting Greece, this is a must trip. Having a tour guide like Andeas made the whole experience worth while. Thank you to Andreas and my athens transfers.

The sites on the tour were terrific, but our overall experience was just okay. Our driver was courteous, good at driving, and the vehicle was comfortable.
But we had high hopes of an engaging experience based on the many reviews of other drivers. Instead it was a long 6 hours of driving that day between stops.
Highly recommend you ask for a specific driver for your tour based on the reviews. I wish we had.

Thank you for taking the time to review us, we appreciate your feedback as we always try to get better. We are sorry we did not meet your expectations and we were not up to your standards. As you have already mentioned, this product is highly rated with many reviews.
This is a tour that includes 4 of the most popular places of Peloponnese peninsula and the driving time is indeed a lot, but this is something you should know before booking a tour like this. There is no other way to visit all these places in a day without this driving time.
Regarding our drivers, we would like to mention that all of them are professionals with deep knowledge of history and many years of experience.
Thank you.

This is the way to see Greece outside of Athens…with a local who knows the area. Tom gave us an amazing all day tour outside of the city, and was so efficient with the planning that we saw far more than we could have doing it other ways. Tom treated us to fresh pastries to begin our morning and we jumped ahead of all the other big bus tours by being on our own. This allowed us to spend time the way we wanted to at the sites outside the city (which are all worth seeing).
The highlight of the day BY FAR (and maybe our entire trip) was lunch by the sea in a small town filled with locals. We were seated in a reserved table on the shore. We then decided to taste a little bit of a lot of things, and OH MY it was amazing!

The entire experience was once in a lifetime. Our original trip to Ancient Olympia was canceled due to fires and our driver Tom gave us the option to continue with a different custom trip and we put all our trust and faith in him. Boy did it payoff. Not only did Tom bring us to the best photo spots he also took us to the non-touristy places. He even brought us to his village where he use to live for the most authentic Greek cuisine. He then also purchased coffee and souvenirs for my wife and I. I cannot tell you how respectful and professional and caring Tom was. This was one of the best trips I have ever taken and it was all because of Tom. Thank you Tom! This tour was a 12/10 and we would recommend it to anyone.
