Athens is transformed in the evening. The monuments are golden against the skyline and the Athenians come out to play in the cool night air.

Visit the Acropolis and do a panoramic city tour of the Highlights of Athens or enjoy a panoramic drive in the city, seeing the monuments illuminated in the night (depending on the option you will book), before being taken to a Greek traditional tavern for dinner as pre- discussed by yourself and your driver.

Great communication prior the tour to make seamless start, a super comfy Mercedes bus, and the highlight: Giannis.

Excellent English, great sense of humor and great delivery of the stories. and most importantly also a fabulous driver.

Enjoyed it so much, that would not mind to take the same tour again if I return.

Prior to the tour the communication and follow-up was excellent. Pick up time and the place (at the port) was not an issue. Our guide
Stefanos customized the entire three hours to meet our requests. He made us comfortable from the start and showed us his credentials.
Stefanos is highly enthusiastic,extremely knowledgeable, and very likeable. Personalized the tour by sharing some of his own experiences and opinions with us.
Highly recommend that you book this tour to see the City of Athens light up.

For us, this was a 4 hour photography tour which exceeded all of our expectations. Our guide, Manos, was a photographer, understand our goals, knew all the correct spots and could assist with some difficult compositions. He was polite, courteous and very professional. He must be their best guide as I cannot imagine anyone being any better. So incredibly competent with a thought knowledge of the history of the city.

The guide was polite, courteous and very professional. A photographer, he instantly understood our expectations, knew all the rights spots and offered some intuitive insight when it came to unique compositions. The four hours went quickly, there was no wasted time and I feel this was an amazing value to travel with such a talented and knowledgeable guide. In addition to the photography, he also knew all the history so when we were traveling from site to site, he provided a thorough understanding of the city and it changes throughout history. Manos must be their best guide as I cannot imagine anyone could be any better.

Our tour guide, Kyriakos (Sunday), was professional and personable. He picked us up on time. He reviewed with us the things we wanted to see and also offered additional suggestions/options. His knowledge of Athens, past and present, enhanced our experience. His suggestion for our request to dine near the Acropolis exceeded our expectations. We sat on the restaurant's outdoor terrace which overlooked the beautiful city of Athens with the Acropolis in the background....glowing in light. What a memory! The tour was well worth the money
