          Great Experience
          We had a great time and would definitely recommend to others. We booked this tour for our first night in Athens and I feel like it was the perfect introduction to Athens. Our tour guide Andreas was very knowledgeable and very kind.

          Thank You Andreas For Sharing Athens With Us.
          We had limited time in Athens between cruises. We booked a private tour to maximize our time with the most important points of interest. Andreas was our guide for the day. The night before Andreas made contact with us to confirm pick up and plans for the day. The morning of the tour we were met on time by Andreas. Off we went, stopping for coffee briefly enroute to our first stop. The entire day Andreas was aware of our timing and he made sure we were in the right place at the right time. We seemed to stay ahead of the crowds and while he dropped us off at sites he was always with us. When we exited a venue, a brief text/call to Andreas would make him appear exactly as discussed. On to the next venue. Probably the highlight of the day was when Andreas took us to the Presidential Palace where we stood directly across the street and watched the changing of the guards while Andreas described the meaning of the uniforms and the procession. Andreas could not have been more professional with his punctuality and his knowledge. The day ended with Andreas returning us to our hotel with many suggestions for our evening.

          Amazing tour, recommend
          The driver is nice and took us to many places we want to see. He is so professional and more than a driver. He told us the history and story of every places visit. Finally we are on time to the airport. It is such a amazing tour with reasonable price.

          Athens, Greece Transfers and Tours
          Andreas was our tour guide for 1 1/2 days in the Athens, Greece area. There was eight of us and we all thought Andreas was great. He was very knowledgeable, very kind, always on time, and navigated the Athens traffic expertly. In addition he was our transfer from the cruise ship terminal to our hotel on arrival and from our hotel to the airport on our departure. We give him the highest recommendation for transfers and tours when in Athens.

          Wonderful tour of Athens with Andreas
          Scheduling was easy. We lucked out by having Andreas as our driving. We felt like we were visiting a friend and received the most wonderful tour and history of Athens and all the sights. I highly recommend and if possible request Andreas Rouchotas. The history of the changing of the guards was a highlight as well as the tour or the Olympic stadium. And I mean, come on, it’s the Acropolis.

          Perfectly executed tour
          We were in Greece for only a short period of time. Andreas and his wife created and planned a very efficient itinerary for us to see and experience as much as possible. It was the perfect balance of guiding us on the history and amazing architecture to giving us enough time to ourselves, to explore on our own. Highly recommend this company on any of their tours!

          A day trip worth going for.
          Me and my wife were greeted by Mr. Andreas, who is a phenomenal driver. We were impressed how he gave us so many insights through our entire journey, be it regarding nemea or greece overall. He went over and above and made pitstops at other iconic locations which were on the way to nemea.

          Absolutely amazing team!
          We used this service for transportation from the airport to our hotel the 1st day, and then the private tour of Athens…:we had Andreas for day 1 and Kostantinos for our tour- they are so professional, courteous, knowledgeable- made our experience amazing! They went above and beyond for us. Would tell you that if you don’t book with them when in Athens- it is a mistake- they are the best!!

          Temple of Poseidon and more
          Fantastic half day private tour with Andreas to the Cape Sounio area was a relaxing escape from busy Athens driving along the beautiful coast arriving at the Temple of Poseidon which was perched on the tip with gorgeous views Andreas chose the perfect spot for lunch. Delicious seafood and amazing views. This was our second tour with Andreas and again he made the day memorable.We absolutely loved Greece and hope to return and discover more with his help.

          First class service
          Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with driver Andreas during our recent stay in Athens. He was descriptive in his explanations and knew how to minimize the lines/crowds. And he went above & beyond when one in our party fractured his ankle at the top of the Acropolis! First class service. We would definitely recommend this driver and tour.

          Private tour of Athens
          We had a private tour with Andreas. He customized the tour perfectly for us. We had a fantastic introduction to Athens experiencing the changing of the guard, Olympic stadium and many other sites. He took us out of the city to explore a beautiful library which was built after the site was originally a horse race track. Learning the history and walking the site was a very special part of our tour. Andreas was exceptional, engaging and professional. He recommended a great lunch spot with delicious gyros.

          Best tour guides for Athens & Meteora
          Andreas & Konstantinos made this trip so fun & informative for us. 14 women between 2 vans for an Athens tour, night & day in Meteora. Their knowledge of Athens is unparalleled, from the best spot to view the changing of the guard, allllllll the Greek history you ever wanted to know, and the rooftop restaurant to eat at. Meteora was an experience not to miss, the tour they arranged there was stunning. They were kind, solicitous, thoughtful guides, answering all of our questions, taking photos & anticipating needs.

        Andreas was a wonderful guide and driver. He even took us to see a meat market for our son for his cluinary class. Was wonderful to talk to and he even got us a delicious dessert and bread to take with us for coffee later. Couldn't have asked for a better guide.
