About the operator
- IndranilG00Thermopylae, Meteora and Delphi Full Day Tour By Theodores TravelAchilleas was a wonderful person, safe driver, and a very patient tour guide. The tour was great - he showed up at correct time - made all possible of arrangements and adjustments to accommodate us and kept our request. It was a long day - but we did not feel bored or tired. Meteora was great - amazing view - and great selection of monasteries to visit. Thermophiles has a great history and a potential to be developed to a great attraction - we may have skipped it. Delphi and Oracle are amazing as ever. The seafood dinner at the end was over the top - the service was quick, the food was excellent. At the end of the tour Achilleas presented a statue of Athena - a great gesture from Achilleas and Theodores Travel!!! Thanks to Achilleas and Theodores Travel! Best trip ever!!!
- Dan L00We made it in one dayWe had only 3 days in Athens and we wanted to visit both Delphi and Meteora in one day if possible. I searched online and found there’s only one company providing such one day trip. I booked for the next day and was wondering if this really could happen. Next morning before 6 Sebastian was at the hotel where we stayed to pick us up. Sebastian knows the best spot for each site, drove us around and managed to cover what we wanted to see. Thank you Sebastian! Dan and David
- Scenic6379099692700PiraeusThe trip yo Athens was brilliant, we spent time in Piraeus which was lovely , food was really good and very reasonably priced , weather was beautiful too , lovely holiday
- K841PNandrewb00Above and beyondExcellent tour. Our guide went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable. The sites were amazing and I couldn’t have been more happy with the trip. I appreciated hearing about origins and purposes of the sites from our guide and I also very much appreciated all the extra stops he showed us to make the trip that much better
- vanchu00Our Man NikosWe did the half day tour of the major sites with Nikos as our driver. Firstly, ANYONE who drives ANYWHERE in Athens deserves a medal. We visited the Temple of Zeus, the Acropolis, the Panathinaiko Stadium, the Agora and Temple of Hepaestus, with a side trip up Lycabettus Hill of an incredible 360 degree view of all of Athens. Nikos was well informed and we discussed a number of fun subjects about his Greece and our Canada. Lunch was included and was absolutely incredible, although it did mean I had to skip dinner because of how well we were fed. Greek salad, three types of spreads including tzatziki, zucchini balls that were incredible, pork in a tomato sauce, fried cheese, and then after all of that a platter of grilled meats (sausage, hamburger, pork chop, chicken and pork belly…the pork belly was amazing) and then finished with a shot of ouzo. Thank you for an unforgettable day Nikos.
- Karol6400Great service !!!Perfect service with help loading all our luggage. We were driven in an immaculate MB van through heavy traffic with out s moment of worry. I would gladly recommend this company and Pantelis our driver !!!
- bigfoot16m00Five ***** Service with a SmileThe driver was super friendly and professional. He picked us up a few minutes earlier than our planned pick-up time. We enjoyed the conversation with our driver, who gave us a little tour of Athens, on the way to our hotel. We will definitely use this company again. Thank you for a perfect ride.
- ReneePaxton00Pantelis was a phenomenal tour guide and the places we went were amazing!!We had an excellent experience touring with Pantelis!! He is a great historian and provided excellent overviews of the areas we were visiting. He was also accommodating and made sure we saw everything we wanted. The dinner after the tour was also great. He even helped us out with places to go after the tour ended. It felt like we had family in Greece. I would highly recommend this tour and Pantelis!
- 4nalah00Excellent ServiceNikos our driver is was on time and excellent with regard to information on our visit to Athens! Would definitely recommend this service!
- planzi00Great experience. Great driver. Was waiting for us inside airport. Made our stress level. Very personable!!!Excellent. Driver profession personable Reliable. Could not have asked for more. Made the start of our trip stress free
- pmvessa00PerfectionCouldn’t ask for more. Flight landed early and they were at airport ready for us with a clear sign. Drive from airport was flawless and driver was extremely helpful with great insights for restaurants. Will definitely use again.
- alicekZ2405SR0010/10 great service!Great service, arrived very early so l didn’t have to wait around when I was earlier than expected. Very friendly and professional service, would highly recommend!
- georgiosz79500Got us in, with great difficultyWe were not actually sent the tickets after purchase. Instead we got a 2 page pdf of instructions. The most important instruction was hidden amongst the others, which was that we had to call the provider and send them out email address before they could email the tickets. This was all done in 35 degree C weather, waiting for 40 minutes trying to get in to Knossos palace
- tally72000Fun day of scenic vistas, historic landmarks, delicious food, and more!Sebastian is the best! The full day private tour was one of the most enjoyable part of the trip to Greece. Sebastian is flexible with the itinerary yet hits all of the attractions. He is very knowledgeable of the sites and the history of the country which makes the trip very educational. My teenage daughters also found the trip to be entertaining and informative. All of us were able to get plenty of pictures throughout the trip as Sebastian stopped at all of the major scenic stops. Meteora was absolutely stunning yet tranquil with its cliffside monasteries. Delphi had a magnetic aura about it and was a site to behold. Thermopylae was a quick trip but a worthwhile spot for fans of the movie, 300, especially with Sebastian's backdrop of the area. A final highlight was dinner at a local restaurant. The local cuisine was delicious and plentiful with homestyle service. The trip is extremely long since so much is covered but time goes quickly. It's a wonderful trip to see the countryside, experience majestic monuments, view panoramic scenery, and taste local cuisine. Ask for Sebastian and he will make this a highlight of your trip.
- 379waltn00Great companySebastian was great and courteous. We used Theodore travel three different times and they were fantastic both for transfers and tours

We do not recommend this experience. It’s a yellow cab that drives you to the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum and the Panatheniac Stadium. We walked around the Acropolis by ourselves after waiting in a very long line to get in. He picks you up after you are done with each location which you explore by yourself. We skipped lunch and asked him to drive us to another site. There is no tour; the driver said he is not a tour guide and had very limited information. We could’ve walked to these our sites ourselves or paid a lot less for a couple of Ubers. At the very least, they should include the price of admission for the Acropolis (30 Euros each) and the Museum (15 Euros each). It was an extreme waste of $350.

Spiros showed us an excellent variety of sights both in Piraeus and Athens. Stops along the way for photos, Acropolis Museum, Acropolis, temple of Zeus and several more features were well-timed and well-narrated by our guide. To top it all off, there was an amazing seafood lunch at a neighborhood restaurant that Spiros recommended. He was very attentive and sincere, offering to help with a myriad of questions. As we are older and mildly hearing impaired, we only wish we could have understood more of his commentary.

We had a fantastic day out driving around and visiting the the fantastic history of Athens, our driver Spiros tsilis was amazing, he would pull up the car right out front of the places visiting, very informative, could stay as long or as short as we wanted at places, was no pressure to wait around for others as it was a private tour, spiros was a lovely guy, very polite and made the day fantastic! At the end of the history tour we went to a local Greek restaurant and had some outstanding genuine local food which was great! Would highly recommend this, and if you could get Spiros Tsilis as a driver, your day will be even better!

Our visit to Athens was highlighted by spending our afternoon with Sebastian as our driver and guide. His attention to our wishes and his love of Greece and its history is intoxicating. Before each stop he filled us with not just a description of the site but its historical significance to Greece and the surrounding countries. After a morning of this Athenian adventure we were treated to a lunch that was more like a Greek food tour. From beginning to end the fresh and freshly prepared items were beyond our expectations. We definitely did not want our adventure to end and heartily without reservation recommend this company and its employee, Sebastian.

An amazing tour with George. He showed up at our apartment in a nice Mercedes and handed us cold water and started the tour. He is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the historical sites and about Greece in general. I was with my mom who couldn’t walk very much and he was extremely accommodating and we adjusted the tour to make her comfortable and spend more time in places she was more comfortable and didn’t require a ton of walking. We had a fun time. He was just a genuinely nice person and was easy to understand and he really made it about us having the best time and made us very comfortable. Lunch was good and he even gave us a gift. We really felt special and we learned a lot about Greece in just half a day. This is a great way to get a good sense of the highlights if Athens and then spend time on your own later spending more time in places you are most interested in. I suggest you buy the combo pass for entrance tickets to all the key sites. It’s 30 euros.
Ask for George. He is amazing. Highly recommend this tour and George. Thank you George for making my mom so happy and comfortable. She left smiling and that is worth everything.

Picked up in a Mercedes by an absolutely delightful driver and guide, George. I cannot say enough about his enthusiasm, knowledge and humor. It was a long 5 hours with lots of climbing, exploring and then EATING! George filled us in (as much as he he had time for) on the city, the food, the culture and the history of Athens. At the end of our tour, he took us to a wonderful Greek seafood restaurant where our table was covered in food and where we were made to feel like special guests. On our next visit to Athens, George will be at the top of our list for a guide or driver!

George with the yellow car was both informative and entertaining. We learned a lot about the history of Athens in Greece through his tour and explanations. He was able to answer our questions and provide a description with facts. At the end of the tour he took us to a traditional Greek restaurant, where we enjoyed a number of seafood dishes. It was by far the best meal that we experienced in Athens. It really blew us away.

We could not be happier about our “Best of Athens Highlights and Food Tour! We were traveling on a cruise to Athens and wanted a half day tour that was catered to us. Theodore was very knowledgeable and and gave us interesting backgrounds on all the sites. We were able to visit all the top historical sites, and traveled in style in his comfortable vehicle. It was a great combination of walking and driving. One of the highlights was a visit to a local Greek restaurant- they brought out dish after dish of delicious local favorites- by far the best food we have had the entire trip! I would say Theodore’s Tour was one of the most fun parts of our trip and would not hesitate to recommend!

From beginning to end our experience was fabulous! Our guide and driver, Giannis (John) was so very knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a need to find a pharmacy and he scouted one for us and made sure we had everything we needed. He was so kind and considerate! The family style meal was fabulous and so fun! Completely recommend this company :-)

We only had one day in Athens and had a great tour with our guide. We saw the highlights of Athens and were given a lot of historical information. Our guide also took us to some of the most beautiful spots in Athens to see the whole city. Would highly recommend.
