“Alexander was an excellent guide. He picked us up at our hotel. Asked what we were interested in doing and had a few suggestions of his own. He purchased tickets for us so we didn’t have to stand in line. Explained what we were about to see, dropped us off, and picked us up when we were ready. Suggested a local restaurant for lunch, it was excellent. Very enthusiastic about his heritage and shared local issues and accomplishments. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a superior guide.”

“Nikos arrived on time, he spoke English, had cold water for us, the van was cool, he planned an excellent day trip of Athens. We were able to see the changing of the guards, The Holy Church of St George, Panathenic Stadium where the Olympics was held, Roman Agora (acient market), arch of Hadrian, The Acropolis museum which is incredible and finally the acropolis. Take water and/or an umbrella, the sun is hot, it is dry, you don't realize how much water you're losing. We logged over 10k steps and I'd do it again, even my 3 teenagers agree!”
