          Perfect Two Days in Athens
          Had a perfect two days with Andreas taking our family of four throughout Athens. Andreas was a wonderful driver and guide, providing us with great insightful information. It was a pleasure talking with Andreas about history, culture, food, and family. Thank you Andreas.

          A beautiful morning in Athens!
          We loved our trip with Andres! He recommended the best souvlaki place and was prompt with pickup and drop-offs and always clear with directions. He gave us some tips, information along the tour, and took us to so many beautiful spots. He had waters for us and the van was roomy and had great AC.

          BEST SERVICE IN ATHENS
          The best service we can get, great driver, vehicle very good, and the tour was great. He took a very good care of us, even went out of his way to help us in our needs, making reservations for the evening dinner, calling the hotel to see if our rooms were ready.

          Educative and Enjoyable Trip
          We were picked up at Athens airport, punctually by George, our driver-guide. The car was neat and pretty new and was stocked with drinking water. The drive to Corinthos Canal was very enjoyable. The Canal itself is a marvel of sorts of human engineering. The visit to the nearby castle and ruins was educative. It was an enjoyable trip.

          Good tour of Athens - reliable company
          We did the full day Athens tour and enjoyed our day. The driver was waiting at the port and took us all around Athens. Would recommend the company if your looking for an independent tour operator in Athens.

          Petros is awesone!
          Our driver - Petros - was amazing! He is brilliant and has a command of Athens’ history from 2000 BC through today. He drove us through a tightly woven pattern of traffic on a busy day, delivering us safely to the specific places we wanted to see. For those of you considering an Athens tour I give him my most high recommendation. In fact, having been to Athens many times, I would say doing a tour with anyone else would be disappointing

          Worth the time and cost!
          In only a few hours we saw Athens with our knowledgeable guide, Nick. He was very pleasant and knew all about the history of the sights we visited. In his beautiful Mercedes we were driven around the city and got a look at not only the historical sights but a flavor of life in Athens. Thank you Nick!

          A Day to Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monastery - September 2024
          The driver was on time and drove skillfully through the Athen's morning and late afternoon traffic. He gave an interesting synopsis of the history of the areas that we drove through. Ample time was given to tour the major sights on our own as well as to have a leisurely lunch at an excellent restaurant with a view of the surrounding valley. Booking via online email was simple and payment using a credit card at the end of the tour was effortless. Would highly recommend!

          It’s just a driver. While Michael was a very good one, it was not worth the price. Did not include any discussion on the history or culture or anything

          Athens experience with George
          George was exceptional. His knowledge of the history and sites was fantastic. He even knew where the best photos should be taken. He also had great resturant recommendations.

          Beautiful Athens!
          The views were amazing! We took so many photos! George, our tour guide and driver, was so knowledgeable and wanted us to learn as much as we could about the history of Athens. Having purchased tickets before the trip was definitely a good thing to do, as we avoided long lines.

          Knowledgeable Guided Tour
          Theodore was very informative of the Greek history, monuments and culture. He seamlessly brought us to the key spots in time for the Changing of The Guards, and our timed entrance to the Acropolis, picking us up at the airport and dropping us off at our AirBNB. He was quick to give us cold waters, keeping us hydrated in the hot Greece sun and somehow finding a spot right next to the historic site. He helped us get our bearings for the rest of our time in Athens. Definitely recommend to others!

          Our family had a memorable expereince with JG Athens Tour. The tour company is very professional. Our guide George was very knowldgeable and had lot of patience. We were family of five including 2 year old daughter and elderly parents. George was very flexible, punctual and he was able to tailor the tour for us. He gave us plenty of time to see everything. He made sure his car is always clean and ready for next adventure. Of all the tours we have ever booked, this was one of our best . Thank you Geaorge, JG Athens tour and team!!

        Private tour booked with JG Athens Tours - Full day Athens Sightseeing & Cape Sounion/Temple of Poseidon Tour. Early ship arrival at 6:30 am. All clear for disembarking was given at 7:30, and we were among the first few off to meet our guide George, who was waiting with a sign for us right outside the terminal. We immediately departed and were taken directly to the Acropolis, where we could view or tour. We could decide how much time we wanted to spend at each location. We made several more stops throughout the day, with great information, direction, history and mythology from George. There were even DVD presentations while driving to sites, which would tell you about sites before arrival. We wanted authentic Greek home style food, and were taken to a wonderful family run tavern on the outskirts of Athens. We feasted! It was fresh, delicious and very affordable. We had some time in Old Town, and also visited a local bakery (our request). This tour included all the sites mentioned in tour description, and a few additional requests. The tour was totally customized. We had a comfortable car with cold A/C in August, a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable driver, and saw so much in 7+ hours. We were back on our ship by 3:00 pm. I highly recommend JG Athens Tours for professional service and a memorable day in Athens.

        John picked us up promptly from our hotel at 8am and whisked us off for a magical tour of beautiful Athens. John was a brilliant tour guide, he was fun and so knowledgeable and informative about all the sights he took us to see. He chauffeured us expertly through the manic Athens traffic in his comfortable Mercedes making us feel like VIP’s. At no point were we rushed, he allowed us to spend as much time as we wanted at all the sights after telling us the history of each site we went to. We saw and learnt so much on the day which would probably have taken a week if we had tried to do it on public transport. Also, for lunch he took us to a restaurant which was off the tourist trail and used by the locals - the food was cheap with loads of choice and so tasty! We had a fantastic day and it was great value for money, thank you so much John - you made an amazing memory for us both 😘

        JG Athens did a great job with communications, very responsive and accommodating. I made my reservation 7 months out. Our driver Andreas provided good information on our drive. The restaurant recommended for lunch in Sounion was fantastic. The tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. I appreciated the fact I didn't have to pay until end of tour. The vehicle was clean and provided plenty of water. I also used JG Athens for the Corinth half day private tour. I would use this company again.

        I took a full day private tour with JG Athens tours. John was very quick to respond and booked the tour for me right away. My driver Michael was very professional and a great personality who took me around. Since I was short of time this private tour helped me visit Athens in a way that I had control on which location I want to spend more time and where I want to skip. If you are visiting Athens and need a private tour I recommend them. Do remember they are not tour guides so they won’t come with you inside the attractions. If you like exploring Athens on your own with your own vehicle and driver, then this company is great for you.

        We had a great day with Theodore. He looked after us all day and took us to some places we didn't expect to see as well. Saw all the sights we wanted, plus more.
        The sedan was very comfortable and great air con as it was very warm in Athens.
        We also stopped for food and drink recommended by Theodore which was excellent.
        We would definitely use this company again.

        We booked with JG based on a recommendation from a friend and are very glad we did. Communication prior to arriving was excellent. Our driver, George, was waiting for us as soon as we walked off the ship. He catered the day to whatever we wanted to do while also providing his recommendations of what would work best. We had a small initial delay right when we started due to the police requiring paperwork from the tour operators (this seemed to be a common thing). Then we were off to the Acropolis. I was appreciative of how George provided video in the car (drop down in the back and in the dash up front) that provided some historical reference to the various places we were viewing. I thought that was definitely going above and beyond and it was also incredibly helpful. My oldest daughter wanted to visit a beach there so we drove outside the city with plans to stop at one on the way to Cape Sounion. When my daughter discovered her bathing suit strap had broke, George was kind enough to take us somewhere so she could get another one. The highlight of the trip for me was Cape Sounion. As stunning as it was, there were hardly any people there and it was wonderful. We enjoyed lunch at a restaurant at the base of it that George had recommended. The city of Athens seemed rather hectic so it was nice driving to Cape Sounion and seeing a more subdued side of the area. George got us back to our ship in plenty of time and overall it was a delightful day. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would definitely recommend!

        We used JG Athens Tours - 8 years ago. John was our guide and driver for the day at that time. I kept John's card all this time and we immediately reached out to JG Athens Tour without hesitation.
        We just got back from a cruise with Athens being the disembarkation day of the cruise. We hired JG Athens Tours again for a private (3 person) tour. Once again, they didn't let us down. Alexander M picked us up at the cruise ship - and we embarked on a fabulous day. The tour agenda was perfect - we saw all the sites we wanted to - enjoyed Alexander's interaction and professionalism. The best way to see a foreign country. Alexander assisted in us getting a Covid Test for the flight home.
        We made yet another friend in Greece. We definitely will use them again - and have extended invitations to Alexander if every visiting the US. Well worth it !!!!
