This tour was exactly what we were hoping for. A very personal experience with Fotis whose knowledge of the history and geography of the area is amazing. Our lunch along the way could not have been better, truly memorable. We worried that an all day tour might be too much, but not at all. Fotis is a wonderful guide. The day flew by. He has new friends for life. Than you for a beautiful day.

This was an excellent tour, combining both the major sites in Athens plus some beautiful coastal scenery along the shore heading south. Fotis was truly a professional guide, knowing practically every street in Athens and ways to avoid traffic while heading south. Fotis has an upbeat and very friendly attitude, which I’m sure all would enjoy. He even has some contacts and friends throughout town that magically make things happen. I highly recommend this tour, or any tour, with Fotis.

We have been on tours for 30 plus years and I can say that the tour we took in Greece with Fotis was probably the best ever! 5 star!! His kindness knowledge and surprise filled day was amazing! You can’t go wrong with him! We were with him from 9am until 6:30 pm for an experience that would be hard to top!

Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide! Fotis was a wonderful guide with an extensive knowledge of the history of Greece and the City of Athens. He was personable, pleasant, and had a wonderful command of the English language. He also had a lovely personality and great sense of humor. We enjoyed our day immensely!

Very nice tour. Fotis was very efficient, friendly, knowledgable, accomodating for people in their eighties. The car was very comfortable.

Fotis was wonderful, about midday we asked if we could change our tour schedule and he was so accommodating, completely wonderful about meeting our every needs, wants, and desires. We ended up going down the coast, away from Athens to have a beautiful late lunch at a Seaside restaurant, which was what we really wanted to do and he was absolutely so kind and thoughtful to make it happen
