Nikolas was a wonderful guide! He arrived in time, and was able to navigate out of Athens during a bike race! Fantastic, safe driving through extremely narrow streets. He was very flexible about our tour, and explained whatever we were interested in. We were lucky since it was a rainy day, but we were able to visit the Parthenon and the Temple of Poseidon without heavy crowds, and only drizzling rain. Unfortunately we could not swim in the lake, as it was surprising cold. Nikolas took us to the best restaurant in Athens! We had the most amazing food we have experienced in two weeks in Turkey and Greece. He even found a shop where we could purchase local beers to taste. We could not give Nikolas a higher review. He is soft spoken and kind, as well as being a truly warm Greek!

It was a day of beautiful memories because of Nikolaos! He is a fabulous tour guide. He took the time to personalize our day making sure we saw all the historical sights as well as the places on our agenda. He is extremely knowledgeable about Athens and Greece and shared so much of it’s history with us. He also had videos. He is professional, attentive, and a delightful man to spend the day with., It was a perfect day!

We were overwhelmed, getting off our cruise ship, but Nicholas picked us up, put the luggage in the back of his beautiful vehicle and drove us to see the sites around Athens down to Cape Sounio and helped us get oriented in our neighborhood where we were staying in an apartment hotel. We had such a good experience with Nicholas. We booked another tour with him and ultimately spent two days with him. Can’t recommend enough.

Nikolas was fantastic. He speaks good English and was very understandable. He met us at the cruise port and drove us around Athens for the entire day (9 hours). His vehicle was a very spacious and clean. He is very knowledgeable about the history of his country, Greece. He utilizes an IPad screen to show videos for increased knowledge of the upcoming attraction you are about to visit. He purchased our tickets for the Acropolis in advance, saving us time in line. We visited the Acropolis, Zeus' Temple, The Olympic stadium, changing of the Presidential Guard, Lake Vouliagmeni, and Temple of Poseiden at sunset. We also stopped at a local restaurant for lunch. It was very delicious. We definitely recommend booking with Nikolas for a tour of Athens. You will not be disappointed.

We had a great time on our tour with Nikos. We visited Sounio and Lake Vouliagmeni. He was punctual and always catered to all our needs. We had a good lunch with the restaurant he recommended. Very fresh fish and good food at reasonable prices with great service. His van is comfortable with wifi and chargers for all our phones. Do not hesitate to get him in your tour of Athens.
