I cannot recommend this highly enough. We (family of four, two adult children 18 and 20) finished a two week cruise in Athens and had to disembark the ship early morning, with a flight to Dubai leaving at 6pm. So we had the whole day to see a few highlights of the city with the potential problem of four large suitcases and four carry on bags to deal with. The perfect solution was this tour- we were picked up by our driver at Piraeus port at 10am, loaded the van and that was our bags sorted for the day. Drove into central Athens to pick up our guide then did the tour. First the Acropolis museum, then up to the Acropolis itself and Parthenon, which at this time of year was pleasantly quiet on a lovely sunny day, no crowds at all. Then to watch the changing of the guard, then a tour around the central city before heading to the airport. We were offered other stops but had done a bus tour the day before and already seen them. I had presumed the 5 hour tour would be from 10-3 but in fact the 5 hours did not start until we picked the guide up so we had to cut the tour a little short to get to the airport on time. Our driver and tour guide were professional and friendly. The van was perfect for our needs, comfortable and cool. Our guide was a fountain of knowledge and made the day educational as well as memorable. A total of 450 euro was a great deal considering what we saw and learned and that our requirements of an airport transfer and dealing with our bags for the day were solved along with the tour itself. Communication from Dionysis by email before and after the trip was excellent. I would definitely use Tours of Athens again.

By far the best way to see Athens. Our guide was very knowledgable and a former Presidential guard who had a great deal of knowledge of the countryside as well as Greece. We would highly reconmend this excursion!

As agreed upon months earlier, we were promptly picked up at Piraeus Port after we disembarked our ship. George our driver texted us to let us know he was there and where we would find him.
He greeted us and loaded all of our luggage into the Mercedes van. It was extremely clean and comfortable.
George had extensive knowledge of Athens and Greek culture and took us around to all of the sights. We stopped at the Acropolis for 2 hours and went to several other archaeological places. We then stopped and had some lunch upon his recommendation.
Everything went very smoothly--we saw what we wanted to see in the comfort of our own private van. We arrived right on time to the airport, which is 45 min from the city center. It was a wonderful half day with George!

Our driver Takis was great! Picked us up right at the ship, and took us direclty to the acropolis. We were early, so only a small line. We walked up, explored, and came back down...you should have seen the line then! He met us right at the bottom of the hill, then drove us to the side entrance of the Acropolis Museum, allowing us to scan our tix into the ancient agora and to be the only people in there the while time! After we visited the museum, I wanted to see the old church in La Plaka and even though it wasn't really on the tour, and we were running short on time, he found a parking spot right down the block so I could check it out! Took us right back to the ship! Highly Recommend!! Private cars can get so much closer to everything, so you don't waste your limited time!

Had a great experience with our guide/driver Michael. Note that this tour does not include admissions but the guide can sell you them (about 40 euros each person). He also did not come into the sites with us but gave us a lot of information beforehand.
