We were met promptly at the Athens Int'l Airport by Kostas of George's Taxi. Kostas was the utmost professional and delivered us promptly to our hotel in Syntagma Square, filling us in on some history and travel tips along the way. We had mentioned that we were scheduled for a one-day excursion to Meteora by train later in the week through another tour company, which, having read reviews, we knew was subject to train scheduling delays which could significantly reduce or even eliminate time to take in the beauty of Meteora. Instead, Kostas suggested a much more pleasant trip by car where he would take us on an overnight trip, first stopping to take in the ruins at Delphi, and then approach Meteora before dusk to take in the beautiful sunset. We opted to cancel our train trip and travel with Kostas instead. It truly was the highlight of our visit to mailand Greece, largely due to the way Kostas managed the trip. Enroute to Delphi and Kalampaka/Meteora, Kostas had several great video presentations we watched in the comfort of the car, explaining the history and preparing us for what we would be seeing. Once at the sites, Kostas gave us ample time to see everything, with no hard-stops on our time. The flexibility made it so enjoyable, knowing that we did not have to rush through the sites or worry about having to catch a train back at the end of the day. Kostas stopped at many great overlooks along the highway where the best photos of the area could be taken. The choice of lodging at Meteora suggested by George's was great and very reasonably priced. Kostas was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Greece and the sites. At Meteora, we were able to take in views of all six monasteries from multiple viewpoints along the windy, scenic mountainside roads. We had ample time to visit three of the monasteries (we took in the Holy Trinity, Great Meteoron, and Roussanou monasteries). Kostas added in a few additional surprise sites along the way which helped us to piece together how life in Greece has evolved throughout history. He provided fantastic choices for restaurants for lunches and dinner, immersing us further into life in Greece. We highly recommend use of George's Taxi for basic transfers as well as private tours. Friends of ours had referred us to George's and they have had similarly excellent experiences with the other drivers on George's staff.

We had a superb day trip to Delphi for 6 of us. Steve was our driver and he made sure we had a fantastic trip. He gave us the time we needed to do things at a comfortable pace, while making sure we did everything we wanted to do in the day. He was happy to share his knowledge, which was impressive, of Greek history and local information about the sites we visited but also about the whole of Greece in general. Recommendations for food and extra stops were perfect, and not at all pushy as sometimes they can be. He looked after all six of us (from kids to grandparents) brilliantly and we couldn't recommend them more. The 5 star reviews are all well deserved, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

Special mention to our guide Penny at Delphi who was utterly mesmerising, giving us such an exciting 2 hour lesson in mythology, classical history and politics, and enthralling the adults and the children equally.

We had a wonderful experience with George's Taxi in Athens. Nicholas was great in terms of communication for booking and information, Stratos was an exceptional driver and person. We first booked a transfer from the airport to our hotel in Athens. Stratos greeted us at the airport and made us feel right at home, offering cold towelettes as we entered the car on the 105 degree day!

We also booked the 8 hour Athens tour for the next day with Stratos. He was not only on time but early, prepared with plenty of cold water and towlettes throughout the day (needed because of the intense heat). We were able to see all that we wanted to see, with Stratos whisking us from one place to the next. One thing to note is that if you want a tour of the Acropolis, you will need to hire a licensed guide separately. With enough notice, Nicholas would be able to do so, but since it was last minute for us, we found one through our hotel. The Acropolis tour was about 2 hours and then Stratos brought us to all the other sights.

He recommended a few places for lunch and was able to secure a reservation for us at a great place off the beaten path. Stratos is a fountain of knowledge and hospitality and made our one full day in Athens enjoyable and unforgettable.

Stratos also drived us to the port early the next morning to catch our ferry, expertly navigating the busy streets better than Google Maps could ever do!

All in all, highly recommend George's Taxi - they know what they are doing and make you feel comfortable and welcome! We feel like Stratos is a member of our family!!

Excellent service from our initial enquiry by email to our fantastic day in Athens.
We were on a cruise and our cruise itinerary was changed very close to departure. Our call into Athens was a different day but Nicholas rearranged everything for us.
Our driver Alex was fantastic: easy to get on with and very knowledgeable. Alex met us at the cruise terminal and we were back in good time for the departure.
It was our friends wedding anniversary on the day. Alex recommended and took us to a great local restaurant where we had a lovely lunch. Very good food and service. It helped make a memorable day for all of us. Sorry can’t remember the name but would go there again. We highly recommend George’s taxis to anyone who is visiting Athens, especially if you are calling for the day on a cruise. In effect you get a private chauffeur/guide for the day. For the four of us, the cost was comparable to the ship’s shore excursions and an added benefit is you see what you want at your pace without being herded about. We hope to go to Athens again when travel resumes and will definitely be booking with George’s taxis. We would also recommend pre-purchasing tickets for museums etc direct from e-tickets.tap. gr the government official site for Monuments and Museums of Greece.

We had great experience with George's Taxi for our airport pickups, drop-offs and full day and half day site seeing trips. Nicholas coordinated all the arrangements. He was always very quick and positive in his responses. Thanks to his great coordination, everything was all planned out well in advance and services worked like clockwork.
We had Kostas as our driver for almost all the trips. The car was really nice and comfortable for 4 of us. Kostas had a lot of insights that he shared on the sites that we visited. He was very friendly, pleasant to talk to and very nice to travel with. He was very patient and always allowed us enough time to visit the sites. He helped us with one half day trip to Sounion and a day trip to Corinth, Mycenae and Napflio and a couple of airport pickups and one drop-off. He always made sure we were comfortable and always waited around when dropping us off at the local apartments to make sure we were safe before he left. This was highly appreciated. We had John ('JJ') for our final airport drop-off and he was great too.
We would recommend George's Taxi for their great service and professionalism to anyone.

Ask for stratos. Had two trips with George’s taxis and stratos was the driver.

One of the trips was to Poseidon’s temple on the sea at sunset. Had a small tour of a few places along the way. Stopped at a restaurant with a view of it. Lovely half day.

The Delphi trip is a bit of drive although worth it. Long drive and a walk once you are there. Plenty of time though to do it all. The taxi helps with missing most of the crowds. Plus there is the opportunity to visit a restaurant with a lovely view and great food on the way back.

George’s taxi was informative about the trip before hand and the information provided aligned with how the trips worked out. Stratos provided the personal touch and just made the trip more enjoyable. No stress, aimed to aid, made the day work for us within the itinerary of the trips. Honest and good company. He was also fantastic with our two kids.

Apologies for taking so long to post.

While booking our trip to Greece prior to embarking on a Mediterranean cruise we followed the suggestion from Rick Steves to contact Nicholas at George's Taxi service in Athens, Greece to book a transfer from the airport to our hotel. We're so glad we did! We were impressed from the beginning to receive a prompt response with specific details which included price in euros to be paid once dropped off, location to meet our driver who would be holding a sign with our name, driver speaks English, and type of vehicle (sedan for us since we only had 2 carry-ons). Once we arrived we immediately headed to the exit and baggage claim where we were instructed to go and were pleased to find our driver Kostas exactly where we were told he would be holding the sign with our name. Kostas gave us such a great impression from beginning to end with his warm and friendly personality as well as his professionalism and knowledge. Because we were so impressed with him and not having an itinerary set in stone we decided to arrange to have Kostas give us tours of Athens during our pre departure stay which included a drive along the southern coast of Athens to the Temple of Poseidon as well as a high level overview of Athens and the Acropolis among other sites. The experience was phenomenal and we received such VIP treatment that was above and beyond our expectations! 😊👍We would definitely recommend George's Taxi service and if you're looking for a personalized, very informative and educational tour of Athens and/or the surrounding sites of Greece we can't say enough about how good Kostas is at what he does and will take care of you! Thank you, Kostas, for the amazing experience in Greece as we will cherish the memories we made there !🙏👏

My wife and I are nearing the end of a two-week trip to Turkey and Greece. We are spending our free day riding with Stratos in a very clean and tidy Mercedes taxi. We were introduced to him through our ships tour guide Tara. He picked us up at our hotel at 7:00 a.m. in order to drive to our first stop by 9:00 a.m. through all of the traffic of downtown Athens. We made it to the first stop which was a train station where we boarded a three car train to Kalarita. All the while we were traveling to the train he was explaining all of the sites and places that we were seeing and answering our questions We became quite good friends over that period of time. He has spent time in the US and spoke English very well despite being encumbered by covid masks.
He had quoted a price before we left and when we got back he stuck with that price even though we were on the road and traveling for a total of 11 hours. He made a side trip to help us locate an extra suitcase for our travel home. He introduced us to a local restaurant in the middle of nowhere in the mountains where we had a most wonderful Greek lunch. All of our time with him was productive and informative and educational. He took us to many places we would not have otherwise been able to visit. Including a monastery in the mountains, a trip to a memorial in the mountains where tribute was paid to 8 00 Greeks who were executed by the Nazis during world war II on December 13th 1943. I won't write a book in this review but I will say that he was cordial honest true to his word very patient with us and just an all around nice guy. When we arrived back at our hotel he quoted the exact same price that he had earlier quoted even including the extra stops had no additional charge We had no qualms about tipping him accordingly. I would strongly refer Stratos to anyone who enjoys personal attention and good quality service.

We stayed in Athens in April 2022 and used it as a base from which to do a couple of day trips. George's Taxis was highly recommended, and we were delighted to have Kostas as our driver on these excursions.

He was very knowledgeable about many aspects of Greek life, culture, politics and history, and we really felt that we got a very rounded view of Greece by chatting with him.

The Delphi trip was the highlight of our holiday and Kostas arranged a local guide to show us around the site. The weather wasn't great for our trip and Kostas was proactive in tweaking arrangements and timings so that we got the best of Delphi with the minimum of rain. He recommended a family run taverna in the town for lunch (Vakhos) which had a fabulous view down to the sea and amazing Tiramasu!

A couple of days later we finished up our holiday with an evening trip to the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio. Kostas stopped in a couple of spots along the way to show us the Athenian riviera. Again he recommended a lovely sea front taverna for dinner with an amazing view of the Temple.

Kostas was gregarious and interesting and always on time. His car was immaculate and we were very pleased to have him as a guide. He gave us some great recommendations for eating out in Athens also and was generally a font of information.

Having initially researched coach tours I'm delighted we went with George's Taxis. The price compared very favourably for a family of four, and we had a much more personal service. We highly recommend them. Thanks Kostas for making sure we had such a great holiday.

We used George's Taxi service for our transfers in Athens to and from the airport and cruise terminal as well as private shore excursions following our return from our cruise. All three drivers we had were punctual, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about Greece and Greek history. Our shore excursions were with Kostas and he made sure we had a great time. We did the Delphi/Meteora excursion as well as the Cape Sounio tour. I would highly recommend you use George's Taxi Service to make your trip stress-free and enjoyable!
