It was a great tour to the classical hotsots of Greece. Due to Corona on all visited sites were only a few tourists what I never had before. The hotels were at nice places in walking distance to the city center, so that we could enjoy Greece evening life easily. Our driver did a great job and had always interesting stories about ancient history and modern Greece to tell during our journey - thank you for this experience Yanis!

We have this cruise booked for June 2020. As we are from Australia, our borders are closed. I have emailed three times to cancel over the past month and have not received any response. We were so keen to go on this cruise however this experience with the customer service has definitely soured the experience. We plan on going to Greece next year however I do not think we will be taking this cruise.

My guide Vasile met me at the Acropolis metro stop, we headed to the Acropolis, and I was the only person that had signed up for a tour that day so it was a solo tour. We stopped at the Acropolis, Temple of Hephaestus, Greek Agora, Lycabettus Hill, the glass running man, and the Olympic Stadium in my half day tour. 100% worth it, got some great photos and better memories, and would happily suggest them again.

We first met John when my niece Hélène and I visited Athens in September 2013 and based on the various excellent reviews on his services, asked him to organize our transfers from/to airport and private tours to Sounion, Athens and Corinth, which he did perfectly, including renting a wheelchair for me (as I’m a person with restricted mobility) and arranging for my trip up to the Acropolis via the archeologists’ lift, which enabled me to visit the Parthenon again. So when we returned to Greece 7 years later in Sept./Oct. 2020, this time to Agi Theodori, a small village some 60 km from Athens, we immediately contacted John again to take care of the wheelchair rental, transfers to/from our villa and a private tour to Old Corinth. John himself waited for us at the Venizelos airport, as smiling and full of life as ever, though we were a few hours late due to a serious technical problem on our Zurich/Athens flights. Being already retained by a big football star, he arranged the tour in Corinth with another delightful and helpful driver, Alexander and again we had a lovely day. On the transfer back to the airport we again stopped at the Pende Phi, a fantastic Greek family restaurant he had introduced us to back in 2013 and we had a marvelous lunch before flying back. John is really a jack of all trades and is able to arrange a lot of things for you, point things you would have missed otherwise, give you tips of what to do/where to eat and always ready to help and solve problems. So we certainly hope we’ll meet again when we’ll visit his beautiful country again. Thank you for everything, John! Sylvie & Hélène, 74000 Annecy /France

We did the Acropolis Skip-the-Line Walking tour with English speaking guide and we had an incredible tour with Anna exploring Acropolis. Since there was not a lot of tourists coming that week, we lucked out and ended up with just us on the tour. Instead of cancelling what was booked as a group tour, we got to do it with her as our personal guide. She was very knowledgeable and so personable, we had a blast and learned a ton. Highly recommend her and this tour to anyone visiting the city!

What a lot of fun my daughter and I had on this tour. We learnt do much about the famous sites of Athens as told to us by our guide who was extremely knowledgeable. We were the last tour beef the city went into lockdown so no crowds and just the two of us. It was a wonderful way to get an overview of what to go and see in more detail. We will return!

We are a family of four (11 and 13 year old girls) and we all thoroughly enjoyed our ebike tour around Athens. As it is very hot and hilly in Athens the ebikes are perfect for seeing all the main sites around the Acropolis and getting to some really good vantage points for great photos - without the children moaning it’s too hot or they were exhausted because they loved the ebike part of it too! Our guide was both funny and informative, we booked a group tour but it was just our family (due to COVID-19 Athens was a lot quieter than normal!) our guide talked about the sites and was happy to meander the conversation to any topic we liked - and he knew a lot about the history of Athens and Greek mythology (which our children are really into thanks to Percy Jackson!) Our guide also recommended a fabulous area to head for reasonable food and slightly more ‘local’ atmosphere which made for great evenings for the rest of our break too. Suggest doing the tour before going into the Acropolis as it will help get your bearings and you can ask questions beforehand. Highly recommended
