Traveler reviews
An Unforgettable Athens Experience with Theodore
We had a wonderful experience with Theodore as our private tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and insightful, sharing so much about the history and culture in a way that made everything we were seeing even more meaningful. Theodore was polite, friendly and very accommodating, making sure the tour suited us and that we were comfortable throughout the day. His knowledge and passion really added to the experience. And the food choice was absolutely sublime! It was the perfect addition to an already fantastic day and gave us a wonderful taste of the local cuisine. We would highly recommend Theodore to anyone looking for a private guide. He helped make our time in Athens truly memorable.
Excellent day tour in Athens
Dimitris from Olive Sea Travel was our driver and guide for the day. He was exceptional, very personable and knowledgeable and ensured we got the most out of our day in Athens. Lunch in a traditional Greek restaurant was also excellent. This was a 5 star tour and we would recommend it to everyone. Thanks you Dimitris for a great tour.
The best of Athens!
Terry was a wonderful tour guide. His knowledge of the historical sites and culture made for a very special experience.
