George was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable on the history of Greece. He was also very attentive to our every need. He made sure we had cold water available to us at all times and brought us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch! Would absolutely use George as a guide again!

George was a great guide. We got a good overview of the city ending with lunch with the best Greek food we had on our trip.

This tour was exactly what we wanted for our group of 12. A laid back, easy going fun time seeing major sights in Athens with some shopping and room for questions. It was a comfortable ride for our crew and we made it from and back to the cruise boat on time. Bravo!

Having George show us Athens was a great experience. He was easy to understand, flexible and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him for private tours. We were a family of 6 that enjoyed the whole tour.
