About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 704dickf0 contributionsExcellent Tour Guide and Driver for Athens and Corinth.We had an exceptional experience with Athens Tours Greece on November 20, 2024. Our tour guide was a state-licensed guide with a degree in archaeology and was very knowledgeable about ancient Greece and the establishment of the Christian church in Athens and Corinth. We highly recommend an upgrade for a state-licensed guide so they can walk through the sites with you to explain the site as you are experiencing it. The guide and driver provided an interesting and well-organized tour. They ensured the tour stayed on schedule, provided meal breaks and rest stops, and offered great suggestions for avoiding crowds at key sites. Highly recommend!Written February 12, 2025
- U5330KUkevinb0 contributionsA great look at important sites of biblical history.We are grateful for the time in such an amazing place. The tour guide was knowledgeable, on time, interactive, and friendly.Written January 10, 2025
- kmphoto700 contributionsTrip from Athen to CorrinthAthens, Greece,: where the awe-inspiring Acropolis Hill stole the show, closely followed by its stunning sidekick, the Parthenon. Our travels took us from Athens to Corinth, visiting the ruins and the Corinth Canal, retracing the steps of Apostle Paul. Fotus was our tour guide. He did a fantastic job!Written November 29, 2024
- K3596RVcarolyns0 contributionsCape of Sounio and Poseidon's Temple are Extraordinary!What a beautiful tour! We drove along the rocky coastline and arrived at the Cape Sounio site to see the Temple of Poseidon. What an amazing experience! The guide was fantastic and paced the tour well. He was an architect and described the temple's amazing structural components. I highly recommend this tour.Written November 14, 2024
- 502davidi0 contributionsA great company to deal with.We did 6 tours with Athens Tours Greece with a party of 9. In Greece and one in Turkey. All were successfully completed with excellent drivers and guides. On several occasions the tour operators and guides went way beyond of what would be expected of them with helping at a pharmacy in Rhodes, buying a carpet in Ephesus (after we had returned to the ship). The guides were all punctual, very friendly and informative. All the vehicles were in excellent condition and very comfortable. The Itineraries were excellent as were the prices. We were very impressed with this company and would gladly use them again and highly recommend them to anyone.Written November 13, 2024
- jock19470 contributionsA day well spent in the PeloponneseWe did not want to visit any archaelogical sites so we had a longer stop in New Corinth and we had more time hiking to the top the Acrocorinth. We also extended the tour to 10 hours to have more time in Nafplio. It was a lovely day trip with Theodore who was very friendly and knowlegable.Written November 12, 2024
- varneyfamily0 contributionsGreat way to see a number of historical sitesWe had been on a cruise and our flight wasn’t until 10.15 pm so had a full day to find something to do with two weeks of luggage. I can highly recommend as they picked us up from the port took us out visiting various interesting historical sites at our leisure. The driver was informative and very sociable. Went out of his way to ensure we had a good day. It is a long day but can highly recommend. We were then dropped off at the airport to check in.Written November 11, 2024
- johnpC1853UJ0 contributionsA++ service and careOK! So to start I have to say that we booked this tour with a driver only not a guide at the sites. Which if you have the money for both do it! I would have loved an actual tour guide. Most other countries I can hire one on the spot. Not so in Greece they have to be licensed. So book everything ahead of time. Second, we had one day before our tour to explore. We stayed at a hotel in Plaka. Which was cool but because we had a whole day to walk around the coolest part of Athens (other than the archeological sites) we say many of the things on our tour the following day. SOOOOO I say that to say this. I would have 100% wanted a walking guide with me on our day in Athens. To further explore the sites, understand its significance and much more. However don't ditch your drive because he took us all around Athens showed us the city and was a wealth of knowledge. Lunch was awesome and that alone was worth paying for a driver. Corinth was very nice and was awesome. Once again a tour guide would have been ideal. All in all it was great I 100% recommend this company and their tours.Written November 11, 2024
- Rbben0 contributionsTemple of Poseidon is AmazingWe arrived in Piraeus by cruise ship. Our driver was waiting for us in a large comfortable car. Since we had been to Athens a number a of times before - we wanted to just visit the Plaka and then go outside of Athens, Unfortunately for us there was a major bicycle race closing down most of downtown (it was a Sunday). Our drive was heroic in navigating the streets to get us to the Plaka. From there we drove south to Sounion to visit the Temple of Poseidon. A great drive with beautiful views. The Temple of Poseidon is well worth the visit, if you have the time. We arrived back at our cruise ship timely. I highly recommend Athens ToursWritten November 11, 2024
- kerrymV6214UX0 contributionsFive stars for FotosOur guide/driver, Fotos, arrived early - which was great since we departed earlier than expected. He was a very safe driver. And offered water throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable and talked about the areas that we were driving through and had great recommendations on what to do/see in our 4 hour tour. He would drop us off to see the chosen sights, and then either stayed close in the car or was just a text away. Fotos also gave us excellent recommendations for dinner.Written November 11, 2024
- Paul F0 contributionsExcellent tour - Photos our guide is first classVery efficient method of booking on line with excellent interaction with tour operators. On the day of our tour Photos our driver and guide was on time. Excellent and pristine vehicle . Photos was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and an excellent driver. Very enjoyable tour - would recommend to allWritten October 31, 2024
- C1040NAwendys0 contributionsAbsolutely Worth ItWe were absolutely stoked. Our guide was amazing!! He was waiting for us when we disembarked from the ship in Athens and he went out of his way to show us the best sights of Athens, including pre-arranged, skip the line tickets to the Acropolis. We could feel his love for his country and he went way beyond our expectations! He literally took us everywhere! We saw so much thanks to him. We also felt very safe with him. He was an excellent driver, he looked after our luggage for the whole time, and he was always making sure we were OK, and delivered us and our luggage safely to the airport at the end of it all. We simply cannot speak highly enough of this service. Highly recommended from Wendy and Mark from New Zealand. Sept 2024.Written October 26, 2024
- marycL8121XX0 contributionsAthens Tours Greece's day tour to Meteora was everything we prayed for. Our driver was knowledgeable. Worth the trip.Our gentleman driver was excellent. He gave us a lot of history as we traveled toward Meteora. It was a long day but did not feel that way due to care our driver gave us.Written October 24, 2024
- ocquest0 contributionsNemea wine country tourEnjoyed the winery and tour of vineyards. Enjoyed the stop at the Corinth Canal. Unfortunately the day we went there was an unusual amount of traffic so half of our tour was spent sitting in the car.Written October 23, 2024
- TravelingFrosts0 contributionsThe best tour company for our Best of Athens full day tour!First off, my husband booked the incorrect date by a week so this company could have chosen to not accommodate us, but not only did they work with us to be able to still go, they busted their butts to make sure we enjoyed the experience while also still valuing their employees who came in to do our unexpected tour. That says a lot about a company! We had two drivers to accommodate our last minute tour on their schedule, and both drivers were great but for different reasons. Both were natives and extremely knowledgeable of the landmarks and areas we visited. The second driver was hilarious and made the drive from place to place a fun experience l, while our morning driver was more extroverted so he would share more freely without us asking questions we didn’t really know to ask. The stops on the tours were a perfect introduction to Athens, but despite driving from place to place, we were exhausted so giving ourselves a day to work off the jet lag prior to doing the tour was a good decision on our part. You get to walk a lot so we would have been hurting had we done it the day after our US 10hr flight into Athens. The 2 things we didn’t realize is they do not go into the landmarks with you so when we got there, we were left to figure out if we were going to rent the automated headphone tour, read every sign along the way, or listen to other people’s tour guides (strong frowned upon and they have NO SHANE telling you to move along if you’re not part of their group). The only one we really wished we would have had a tour guide was in the Acropolis Museum. Getting into each location was a breeze as long as you didn’t follow everyone else in line like humans usually do. Since we had tickets already, we went around majority of the lines of people who were waiting to purchase/acquire their tickets and got to the front. The Acropolis Museum was far too big to cover in the 90 min they give because we are big museum people, so we went back after our tour concluded and used previous tickets for re-entry. I am not sure if all the places allowed for re-entry but that was a perk to this company’s tickets. Lunch was phenomenal- our driver took us to his home town and fav restaurant called The 3 (or was it 5) F’s or something close to that. We sat outside and they brought us about 7-8 main dishes to all try. It was so cool to try food popular in Greek culture, but since they picked all the options we were able to try foods we never would have even considered that were YUMMY. If you are a vegetarian, you need to let the company know ahead of time to tell the restaurant. Our group all agreed, this was definitely worth the price and yes, they appreciate being tipped despite what you read online!Written October 23, 2024

When I booked this tour I asked if Sunday, November 17th was available and was told that it was. The tour was to be the highlights of Athens and tours of the wineries in Nemea. After going to the Acropolis, which we could have taken a cab to and done ourselves, the driver stated that we were headed to the wineries. This was mid morning. I questioned when we were going to see the highlights in Athens. The driver stated that there was a public demonstration going on that day and that central Athens was going to be closed down. This was certainly not mentioned when I made the reservation. He drove us past a couple of places and then we headed to the wineries. We visited one winery and then he said he were heading back. I questioned that we drove all the way out there and only saw one winery. He stated that the wineries were closed because it was Sunday. Again, this was never mentioned when I booked the reservation. He did drive around and found another winery that was open. On the way back he did try to compensate by showing us the Corinth Acropolis. The trip was expensive, we had to pay cash and I certainly never would have booked it or paid that much for this tour. Because we paid cash before the driver started the tour we had no recourse for our dissatisfaction. My husband did trip the driver since we felt that it wasn't his fault that the tour company booked us on a day that should never have been scheduled given the circumstances. I would never recommend this tour company to anyone. I feel that it was deceitful on their part to book us on a day that was not conducive to seeing the sights that were advertised

Dear Ruffles23,
I would like to thank you for your review. Reviews coming from our clients are always welcome.
Let's see step by step what happened, by writing the truth.
Every year on November 17th, there is an event taking place in the afternoon.
The day of your tour, happened to take place an unannounced and sudden morning protesting which could happen any other day of the year and was impossible for us to know that the day you booked the tour this situation will happen.
You booked a 8 1/2 hour tour in Athens and Nemea.
In Athens, you visited Acropolis and you saw some of the highlights of Athens. To see all most important monuments in Athens you need at least 8 hours. In any case, it is very clear written in our website what you could see and visit during the tour you have booked.
Traveling to Nemea and back with one stop to the Corinth Canal, you need 4 hours.
Just considering of this travel, it is very understandable that the time is limited and it is clearly mentioned in the tour that you will visit at least one winery, and it is up to you if you are make time and if you are fast to visit another one.
Our driver took you to Bairaktaris Estate and Palivos Estate, two of the Estates we always visit. We do not understand why you mention all these things and staff about asking him to take you to a second winery as it was already arranged.
You have to know that your driver George, is working with us and for our company and not with another company. He is well-trained by Athens Tours Greece. He is always in touch with the office and what he does is not his own decision, but the company's.
You also mention that the tour was expensive and you had to pay cash.
In our offer, the payment procedure is clearly written that's why we do not understand why you complain for that.
In addition, if you found this tour expensive and you did not agree with the booking procedure, why you booked with us?
Finally, we are happy to read in your review that your husband did tip our driver meaning you are happy with our services, and we one more time remind you that our driver George is working for Athens Tours Greece and he is not independent.
We hope to see you in the future and we are confident that you will have a good time with our company.
With Best Regards

Christos & Effie greeted us off our cruise ship with ease and a warm smile. They showed us the Acropolis, Museum, Plaka, Olympic Stadium, Lybattecus Hill and much more. Though Christos couldn’t speak much English, his mannerisms and kindness were well received. Effie was like a big sister to my 2 girls and the restaurant she took us to as her recommendation was spot on. Traditional Greek food at its best and well priced. I insisted they join us for lunch and we ate together like family. Thank you to these two special people. If you are in Greece and want a friendly, informative and worry free experience I would highly recommend this company and especially these two guides. Thank you so much 😘👍🏻🇬🇷
