I contacted Manos through email (got it from tripadvisor) because of his rad reviews. He was not able to do the tour with us personally but he sent George. And we loved George! He picked us up from the airport, took us to our hotel in his spanking new Mercedes Benz mini-bus. So much space as there were only eight... More

Manos is an excellent guide. It meets our needs and knows very well the history of Greece. I will not hesitate a moment to take a ride with Manos. My two teenagers loved it. More

I called Manos from our cruise ship the night before we were to arrive. His car had broken down, so he had one of his drivers, Stelios, meet us instead. He was at the dock, right on time holding a sign with our name on it. Stelios spoke very good English and his Mercedes was immaculate. We saw all of... More

We were on a cruise that stopped at Athens. We had the choice between the cruise service and Manos Taliadouros. We had found Manos on the internet before leaving, corresponded by email and when we arrived at Athens he met us at the pier. He spoke very good english, new the sites and the city well, and at a great... More

Having just finished an Eastern Mediterranean cruise, by chance we asked Manos to show us the typical touristy sights of Athens- (Acropolis, Olympic Stadium, etc.). He delivered us back to our hotel and said, "if you want to see more Athens, call me in the morning." The second day he was thrilled to show us HIS Greece. I wanted to... More

I emailed SEVERAL guides prior to our cruise to accommodate our party of five adults (which meant taxi cabs weren't feasible). My husband, our two elderly Moms, a friend, and I were greatly looking forward to seeing the Acropolis and our half day tour of Athens. Manos had good feedback on TA was very responsive via email. I confirmed three... More

Our cruise stopped in Athens in Nov. 2011. I found "Athens Private Tour Drive" on TA.and booked a tour for our group. George the driver met us outside the customs terminal holding a sign with my name on it. We were guided to all the highlights of Athens in a well maintained,new bus. George took us to a local resturant... More

Manos was extremely accommodating and picked a friend and I up from the Athens Int'l Airport at midnight to give us a tour. As we had an 8hr layover, Manos provided us with the chance to view Athens from night and dropped us back off at the airport at 4:30am. We had a blast! More

I have to say I recommend visiting in November rather than summer time. The weather was wonderful, sunny but cool and comfortable. Also not so many people, so you can browse around as you please, sit, no lines, no waiting. One thing is to see the Temple on a postcard, another is to feel the spaces. I went with the... More
