My wife and I were in Athens for only a single full day. So with some reluctance, I booked a taxi tour of Athens worried that we would be wisked from one sight to another as in some National Lampoon European Vacation Movie (Look kids, the Acropolis). We were very surprised that the pace was completely unhurried. Our guide -... More

We arrived in Athens via the Celebrity Reflection on 5-14-13. Our tour guide, Mikis, was very informative, prompt and knowledgeable. As stated in the other reviews, he was not a licensed guide so he did not accompany us to all of the sights that had a fee but gave a detailed history and accompanied us to the sites that we... More

We booked this "tour" with a Cruise Critic group, expecting to have the services of a guide, as we had in other ports. Instead we had a driver and an assistant guide. We were driven around the city, let out at various sites and told when and where to meet her when we were done. Since she was not a... More

We did a full day tour with this company. Our driver Frank was informative and personable. He was on time and proudly took us to all of the sites and briefly gave an explanation of what we were seeing. As he wasn't a licensed tour guide, He left us on our own to explore. We re glad that we didn't... More

We were delighted with our half day tour of Athens provided by Private Greece Tours. Waiting for us at the airport was our private tour guide, Alex, who was extremely informative, clear and concise in all his explanations. We keep asking him if he was ever a school teacher. All the sites were the very best highlights of Athens. Prior... More

As all the other reviewers, highly recommend taking your own tour. That way you are able to see as much or as little as you like. We wanted an extra half hour shopping which was no problem for our excellent guide, Dimitri. You obviously can't do that with a crowd of people. We were first at the Acropolis as well... More

we used private greece tours on our recent med cruise. We were there on the Orthodox Good Friday so we only did a 1/2 day tour. Sakis was fantastic, He even brought us some pastries that are only eaten on Good Friday.

Our second day in Athens was Easter Monday. Nikos helped me book the tour online. He was always prompt with emails and answered all of my many questions. Our driver guide was Manos, a very friendly and knowledgeable man. He made our day wonderful. He made sure we got to places at the perfect time to avoid large crowds, or... More

I had organized this tour for a group from CC. We wanted to visit Corinth and Athens. Of course with only one day it is hard to see it all but they did a great job of showing us as much as the day would allow. No wasted time. The guide for our tour was absolutely wonderful. he gave us... More
