About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- suzanak9990 contributionsExcellent tripInteresting and very well organized trip. The ride was very pleasant. The guide George was excellent. We recommend this trip.Written March 15, 2025
- wojciechsW1448YW0 contributionsExcellent tour!!! Anazing timeAmazing time!!! Beutifull places big knowledge of our tour guide. We absolutelly recomend this trip with guys from Sights of AthensWritten March 15, 2025
- busuttilmarvic0 contributionsDefinitely amazing tourFantastic views!! Information by Riki throughout our trip apart from the audio was very informative. Many stops for photos. Really worth it!!Written March 13, 2025
- sokratesy0 contributionsEverything was just wonderful!«How to Hold Up the Sky?» If you've ever wondered about that, then Meteora is the place for you. Here, towering rock giants float in midair, and monasteries seem just moments away from breaking free and soaring into the heavens—much like the souls of the monks who once prayed within their walls. Our guide for the day was the energetic, charismatic, and downright (pardon the celestial forces) brilliant Riki. She didn’t just lead us through the monasteries—she unraveled an ancient mystery with us: how these rock formations came to be, who first dared to climb them, and how on earth monasteries were built in places where even birds hesitate to land. As a delightful bonus, we got to sample some local culinary magic—tender beef stewed in a rich tomato sauce, a fresh salad with local cheese, and the intriguing Mastiha liqueur. The latter, by the way, carries a taste that feels like a secret whispered by the mountains themselves: slightly resinous, slightly sweet, like a memory you don’t want to fade. So if you’re heading to Meteora, grab your ticket, charge your camera for an endless stream of breathtaking shots, trust Riki, and be ready to leave a piece of your heart floating somewhere between these skybound cliffs.Written March 12, 2025
- shulamitf20250 contributionsHighly recommendExcellent. Very knowledgeable pleasant attentive guide. The time table of the tour was very good. It was a very nice day. The drive we as smooth and we felt secure and in good handsWritten March 12, 2025
- cindypK4095TM0 contributionsMeteora a beautiful tripThe trip was amazing. The views were spectacular. And the bus driver, & Tour Guide couldn’t have been more accommodating. Also, I had an experience where I left my purse at one of the stops and the bus driver and Anastasia at the office went out of their way to find it and get it back to me the next day. They were a life saver. Amazing company.Written March 10, 2025
- J8668TXannar0 contributionsAmazing DelphiWe enjoyed the tour with two kids (9, 13), all three of us loved it. The guide was very helpful and kind. We also had a lunch at the place he recommended - no regrets :)Written March 9, 2025
- Elwood80 contributionsThis is THE way to see the Acropolis from a cruise shipWhat a convenient and comprehensive package! We boarded from just outside our cruise ship in Piraeus, were driven to the entrance of the Acropolis and, after visiting the Acropolis (which happened that day to have free admission), then boarded a bus which toured us around Athens and back to the cruise terminal.Written March 9, 2025
- 929rosemaryj0 contributionsFar exceeded my expectations!We had a pleasant bus trip to our destination which included two stops for snacks and bathroom breaks as well as lunch. Our lunch was authentic Greek fare & was well prepared. The staff was friendly and the food was great. During our tour we had a well informed and friendly guide Eva was able to answer our questions and did so in a friendly manner. She made us feel welcomed. We were amazed at the beauty of the region as well as the history. We took many, many photos and I highly recommend this day trip to Meteora.Written March 8, 2025
- rodz3210 contributionsCorinth 1/2 day excursion. Worth every Euro!roHad a few days in Athens before we boarded for our cruise. Took advantage of the half day trip to Corinth. Well organized and informed tour guide Angela, and very competent driver,who took us up the mountain where a bold donkey wouldn't go. Not for the faint of heart. Good working knowledge of Biblical history of Paul's travels, and the price was very fair. Highly recommend!Written March 8, 2025
- jzakhary0 contributionsA Day of Wonders and Wanderings in Mycenae and EpidaurusThis tour was a fantastic opportunity to explore some of Greece’s most remarkable historical sites, including Mycenae, Epidaurus, and Nafplio. From start to finish, our driver George and our guide, also named George, made the journey pleasant and smooth. Both were incredibly easy to work with, approachable, and helpful whenever we had questions or needed assistance. A highlight for me was the archaeological site of Mycenae, particularly the breathtaking view from the mountain top. Be prepared, though—the climb is quite challenging, and it's crucial to keep an eye on the time to ensure you return to the bus promptly. This location alone made the entire day worthwhile. However, it's important to understand that this isn't your traditional guided tour. Instead, it relies heavily on a smartphone-based VR audioguide. The VR element, while innovative, felt slightly gimmicky at times. The role of our guide, George, primarily involved ensuring everyone reached each destination on schedule, rather than offering detailed commentary. One area that could be significantly improved was clarity regarding navigation once off the bus. There were multiple instances where I felt a bit lost and frustrated, uncertain about exactly where to go. Instructions were not clear, and since participants move individually rather than in a guided group, it sometimes became stressful figuring out the correct path. Overall, if you prefer a more independent style of exploration, you'll thoroughly enjoy this tour. Just be prepared to handle navigation independently. Despite a few hiccups, I genuinely enjoyed the experience and would recommend it for those who appreciate autonomy during their travels.Written March 7, 2025

Great service, great sights and great fun! The private tour was not much more expensive than the „normal“ tour, and we all agreed that it was totally worth it. Our driver picked us up right at our door with a very nice car and gave us wonderful tips for lunch, dinner and other activities. The restaurant he took us to for lunch was a traditional greek place with amazing food. In November, there weren‘t many tourists in Mycaene and Epidaurus and we could experience the beautiful sights in tranquility. Two thumbs up!

A well organised and well paced tour with a greatly knowledgeable and cheerful story telling guide Dafne, covering 3 great and distant attractions with lunch arranged in beautiful city of Nafplio. Not only the sights are greatly informative about Greek history, but also have immensely beautiful views. I wish to thank Dafne and the driver for about 11 hours of dedicated and hard work with us. As for travellers, do not look anywhere else or try to arrange it yourself. Just book this tour to save time, effort and even cost!! You will be glad you did it.

We went with Sight of Athens as the other (red bus) tour company was not only available. Also because Ms Xanthippi was helpful, approachable and open to negotiations. She explained in detail about the tours and was prompt in replying to Whatsapp message.
Enjoy our tour to the Temple of Poseidon, Mycenae, Nafplion and Epidaurus. The tour guide was ready to answer all questions and knowledgeable. Additionally tablet was given explaining the attractions with graphics.
Will recommend.

Had a wonderful day trip. Pavlos was an excellent driver and gave us good information regarding the sites visited. He gave us enough time to explore without rushing and was very friendly making us feel very comfortable and safe. After this day trip we booked another day trip and requested him as our tour guide.
Recommend him and the company very highly.
