          Don’t waste you money
          Well pretty much what you get it’s a 3 ride and 3 tickets And a little bit of details about the history of Athena’s. That it’s not work I recommend you go there buy you on tickets that it’s less than 20$ and walk or pay local taxi the guy who was with me don’t go anywhere he was just driving and I was by myself and I pay almost 600$ for nothing around juts right after lunch I requested for take me back to the hotel I was frustrated I will not recommend a private tour in this area to no body even I don’t have any photos of me there I was thinking that guia tour was going to be with me but no

          Terry and Sparta tour
          We did this tour with our guide Terry. Between my wife and I, we had an incredible time. Terry was so knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour and guide for anyone visiting Greece.

          Excellent Tour with Andreas
          10/10!!! Andreas exceeded our expectations. He’s extremely knowledgeable about Greek history, enthusiastic, and very obviously a good person. He cared for my wife that’s pregnant as an older brother would- holding doors for her and just so gentle overall. We got to see the city from his eyes and it was that much better. Perfect experience.

          Beautiful Sunset, Amazing Guide
          Wonderful tour with Manos. Beautiful, informative and relaxing. We were picked up from our hotel before enjoying a scenic drive along the coast to the temple. Manos kept us entertained throughout by telling us the stories and history of the areas we were travelling through. At the temple, we stopped for a drink while he gathered our tickets so we wouldn't have to queue. We watched the beautiful sunset at the temple before heading to a lovely restaurant called Four Brothers which provided fresh, locally caught seafood and delicious side dishes. We were never rushed and ended the tour feeling relaxed and eager to visit Athens again. 10/10 highly recommended. Thank you Manos for making our trip to Athens so memorable :)

          Athens in a day!
          This tour was great! Babis, picked us up from our apartment and was a great communicator. He shared lots of great facts and information as he drove us from site to site throughout the day. He even tweaked the schedule a bit to account for the inauguration happening so we could enjoy things in a seamless fashion. We would highly recommend.

          Amazing day with an amazing guide.
          Great day exploring Athens. Our guide Manos was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, funny and easy to talk to. He made our day incredibly enjoyable and I cannot recommend him enough. We visited (in order) the Acropolis, Temple of Olympian Zeus, Roman Agora, a nice restaurant for lunch, Acropolis Museum, saw the changing of the guard and finally drove to the top of Lycabettus Hill to see the amazing view. Each location was great on their own but made even better with the history and stories Manos told us while we were traveling. 10/10 day out, highly recommended for anyone visiting Athens. Ask for Manos, you wont regret it :)

          Manos is the best!
          Manos was an amazing guide! It was my me and my family's first time visiting Greece and we only had a full day to explore Athens. Manos (and Nikos as co-guide) were extremely funny, informational, and charismatic. They made sure our entire family was comfortable (including my father who needs accessible accomodations) for the entire 8 hour tour. They provided great information on the sites as well as adding in lots of personal anecdotes to add to our knowledge of the city. Highly recommend travelling with them!

          Wonderful day touring Athens
          The tour was exactly what we had hoped. Panos was very knowledgeable about the history of Greece but also Greek Mythology. We saw all the main attractions with plenty of time! Panos took us to a little spot for lunch, which was also very good. We never felt rushed. We entered each site with lots of information. We even stopped to watch the changing of the guards, which I recommend. Panos explained every aspect of their uniform and the interesting way they marched. All in all, a great day!

          Andreas did a great job.
          Andreas was very well informed with the history of the area and made the journey most enjoyable as well as educational. I/we would highly recommend hiring him for your guiding and driving requirements.

          What a lifesaver
          When we think about how difficult it would have been to get to all these locations on our own, we are so glad we did this tour. Christos handled everything and it made it a fun, relaxing day. He got all the timings right so that we could avoid crowds and see extra things. The lunch was delicious. Also, there was never any rush. If you want to stop for a coffee or glass of wine, you’re free to do so. It’s a little pricey, but completely worth it. We did this on first day of our trip and it was great to know we had so many of the big sites covered.

          Manos is the man
          Amazing private tour. I’ve only been on this one tour but I can’t imagine it gets any better than this! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. Thanks to Manos my time in Greece was superb.

        Stephanos MALATOS was a great guide- he briefed us on the various sites just prior to entering and oriented us on where we entered and where we would exit. He gave us enough time to explore on our own and kept in touch via what’s app. The lunch was wonderful and he picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel. Very knowledgeable and very personable.

        This tour was amazing and a must do for anyone visiting Greece. It is a bit of a drive from Athens but definitely worth the trip. Our driver, Nasos, was wonderful. He has a detailed and thorough knowledge of the site. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. I highly recommend this tour company, and be sure to request Nasos as your driver!

        The private tour by Olive Sea Travel is excellent! It was a great way to end our 14-day Greece holiday. Highly recommend the trip to Ancient Olympia. It is such a massive, awesome archaelogical site! Get the combined ticket that include admission to the 2 museums - it's well worth it. And do race down the 600 ft track at the stadium when you get there! Super fun!
        A special mention on Yannis, our tour guide. He is so warm, friendly and accommodating. Despite the long drive from Athens, it was never boring as we could chat with Yannis and learn from him much about Greece. Thanks Yannis for suggesting the little village (can't recall the name) you brought us for lunch. Such a peaceful village and cosy family restaurant. Great food and good value! --(Ruth, Karen and KC from Singapore)
