Socrates was excellent, which made the tour excellent. Our small group enjoyed his knowledge and expertise on everything Athens/Greece. All of his recommendations were spot on and his driving was excellent. Also, our lunch restaurant was top notch with great service! I highly recommend this company and ask for Socrates to be your guide,you won't regret it, I promise.

We were a couple and went to Santorini for 3 nights then Athens for 2 nights. Santorini we stayed at the Atlantis in Fira (the best place to stay and mid-city on the water and tourist area) close to everything and at least 15 restaurants walkable in 5 minutes. Hotel is 3.5-4 stars with great Caldera view in a caldera view room. Best hotel view ever, and Best complimentary hotel breakfast in Santorini of Greek and American and continental specialties. For our first dinner we went to Naoussa, which was 1 minute walk from hotel and awesome traditional Greek cuisine. At 7pm-8pm the owner came out and threw plates and had everyone yelling OPA! Great non-quiet atmosphere but a fun welcoming intro to GREECE!. We also went to Ouzeqi restaurant twice, a 4 minute walk from hotel and had awesome innovative seafood and huge portions. We also took a caldera view sunset cruise which was switched on us for approaching bad weather to a daytime cruise. Switched the boat as well to a luxury catamaran. If you don't like baby roller coasters do not do this cruise. But this was awesome of excellent BBQ lunch cooked on board and unlimited wine. The crew was great, accommodating also even for a 10 year old child on board. They entertained the child while her traveling companions were seasick. Nobody else was seasick, not even ME. ... We walked cobblestone streets like crazy. Eventually flew to Athens and had enough time there to enjoy an Athens foodie walking tour with Get Your Guide's tour guide Voula. What a lovely lady guide and very knowledgeable. Stayed at the Acroplis Ami "Boutique hotel, a 2.5-3 star basic hotel experience. tiny room and no in-room coffee maker. But a very good hotel breakfast. The top floor 180 view breakfast/bar faced the Acropolis for awesome evening and day views. The bartender Jiannis was a lovely bonus and even brought his 60's music laptop to the bar for my (and everyone's listening pleasure). The man served Ouzo on ice with a sidekick of glass of water. WWWowww! .... A flight issue: The only annoying thing was the flight from Frankfurt Germany to Santorini: Discover Airlines for 2.7 hours and the only nonstop airline. Even coffee and Coke (soft drinks) were at a cost of 7,50Euros for the 2 items. That's right folks, what a rip-off. Never hears of an airline charging for a stinking soft drink or coffee. But, highly recommend Santorini as a destination worth seeing. Jill in Los Angeles CA

This was an incredible tour! Our driver Michael was incredible and the Company made sure that we had everything we needed to make the day flawless!

First, they contacted us through the TripAdvisor app to let us know to purchase archeological site and museum tickets and what time slot we should get and even provided a link to each site to make it easy.

Second, they suggested we hire a licensed tour guide to accompany us through each site so we did! Our guide was incredible! Her name is Vasso Kontari and she was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was also incredibly patient with me as I asked tons of questions. She also suggested a lunch spot frequented by locals and it was amazing!

10/10 recommend this tour!
