          We loved the tour! A great way to see Athens!
          Andreas was our guide, he picked us up from our hotel in a very comfortable, clean air conditioned van, Andrea’s was very informative and interesting and brought us to all the major sites in Athens. He made the tour fun and we learnt so much about Athens. We highly recommend this tour as a great way to see the city!

          Amazing tour with Andreas! He took us to all the best spots and was super informative! We had a few hour layover in the airport and he was so helpful picking us up and dropping us back off with time to get on the flight.

          Great experience - ask for Andreas!
          Mariana communicated with us in advance which was very nice so we were certain we were on track for our tour. Our guide, Andreas was timely, very friendly and so knowledgeable. We had a marvelous time. Make sure to grab a quick bite at the cafe before going to Poseidon's temple to watch the sunset from there. Highly recommended :)

          A great half day with Andreas
          We were delayed arriving in Athens by almost 48 hours due to the global IT issue and initially cancelled but hurriedly rearranged this tour when we managed to book a new flight and added an airport pickup. Andreas, our driver patiently waited for us as a second disaster befell us when we realised some of our cases didn't make the flight. We were taken directly to our hotel and he waited while we checked in before embarking on the tour. He was very knowledgeable of the history of the city and we stopped at multiple sites including the old Olympic stadium and the temple of Olympian Zeus. They had organised our Acropolis tickets and we got there for 7pm which was a good time to visit as it was much cooler. Unfortunately we couldn't visit the hill as there was a concert that evening but all in all a great way to see important parts of the city if you only have a short time there.

          Friendliest driver and comfortable experience
          We booked the trip only one day in advance, since our last trip provider (from another company) just didn't show up. We were totally amazed by the experience Greece Athens Taxi GAT offered us and definitely recommend it to everyone interested in a private day-trip with a pleasant driver! The mini-bus we were travelling with, was very spacious (we only had 4 persons in our group), there was WiFi on the bus (although the connection was a bit intermittent sometimes, but overall amazing extra feature to offer), you could charge your phone on the mini-van. We occured some minor technical problems with the mini-van we were travelling with, but this is the part we were truly amazed by the service! The driver had already found a solution with a second transportation bus that was already on the way to our spot where we had to stop and that was a guarantee for us that we had been taken good care of. Something you don't see so often in Greece and we definitely didn't experience such problem-solving service from any other company/service in our trip in Greece that time. They even offered us free transport to the airport after that minor incident, which was also very kind from them. Our driver - Andreas - did know a lot about Greece and so our drive to Ancient Olympics was also an informative tour, rather than just a bus drive. He was very kind and professional with his job. The trip back to Athens was also great, because we took another route back through Korintos Canal - something worth seeing for sure.

          Trip to the Temple of Poseidon
          Andreas collected us from our Hotel in Athens and took us to the Temple of Poseidon to enjoy the sunset. Along the way he pointed out various landmarks and things of interest in excellent English. His car was excellent as was his driving which all made for a very enjoyable evening. Praise should also go to the office staff who kept us informed of the trip details and even suggested a slightly later start time due to the hot weather.

          Great tour in Athens Greece .
          We had a very courteous and knowledgeable driver/guide. We got to see the changing of the guards at the presidential residence. Also went to an open market place. Our driver stopped at points of interest. I really enjoyed the Acropolis Museum. That was the highlight of this tour.

          Great Athens City Tour!
          We had a private tour of Athens and saw all of the city sights in about 5 hours. Andreas was our guide and he was fantastic! He told us a lot about the various sights we visited and his suggestions of places to see and go were great. We had a lot of fun on our tour and appreciated Andreas’ expertise and driving abilities!

          Athens City Tour
          We arrived in Athens from a cruise and were picked up from the port to begin our tour. We were shown many monuments and stopped to take photos. Went to the Acropolis to visit the Parthenon for about an hour ( it was a very hot day ) and then continued to other stops. Our final stop was timed perfectly to watch the changing of the guards at the president's mansion, which was very impressive! Andreas explained everything beautifully and we spent a nice amount of time there as well. We have great memories from that day!

          We highly recommend this tour, especially our driver, Andreas. He contacted us in advance to suggest a different time to avoid the extreme heat. We really appreciated his knowledge of the history and culture of Athens. His professionalism and overall customer experience were excellent. Thank you, Andreas!

        Dennis was an outstanding guide on this roughly 5 hour tour of Athens highlights.
        Knowledgeable, informative and good company.
        Was willing to be flexible with the itinerary, enabling us to have a slightly later start, and finish with the acropolis.
        10/10 would recommend!

        Outstanding tour! Andreas was an excellent guide!! It was the best of having both a knowledgeable and interesting tour guide combined with the ability to explore on our own. Andreas took us to the various, incredible sites (including the Acropolis, with tickets) and gave us information and historical background. Then we explored on our own. We communicated through WhatsApp to see if we needed more time or were ready to meet at the car. I highly recommend this tour!

        The company is very easy to work with and George was a great, informational driver. We saw all the sites we wanted even though we spent extra time at the Parthenon and Acropolis museum. After the tour, he gave fantastic food and activity recommendations. The car we were in was very comfortable and we would absolutely do it again.

        There are a lot of potential tours on the 'tripadvisor' website, but this one was very positive...We were a family group of seven over three generations and we all had a wonderful tour. We were able to schedule our day and enjoy the convenience of personal attention, and the air-conditioning in the 36C temperatures!
        Highly recommended, this was a highlight in our fantastic voyage, Cheers!

        Our tour with Andreas was the highlight of our 10 day trip to Greece! As a native Athenian he was a wealth of information about the history. He knew all the spots and the closest way to get us to them. One of our party of 5 is disabled and in a wheelchair and he made it to where she was easily included which is a big feat in Europe. He was kind and compassionate, felt like family. The van was super comfortable for us all. Great communication! Do yourself a favor and see Athens through Andreas’ eyes you won’t be disappointed!
