          perfect lovely family evening in Athens
          Wonderful experience all around! Micheal shared a wealth of history, insight, knowledge and personal experience of Athens. We were able to take fantastic photos. Oh! And we had fresh sushi on the marina as well. Quite an adventure. And our 8, and 10 yr old didn’t complain about too much walking ;)

          Best thing to do on day one in Athens! Highly recommend!!
          Dimitri was amazing! Great communication prior to pickup. The tour was easy, he's packed full of history and facts on all of Athens. The van could easily fit 8 people--warm day for us but, the AC made the outdoor events very livable. We saw the Temple of Zeus, Changing of the Guard, the Olympic Stadium, the Church of St John, and the Acropolis. We opted out of the Acropolis Museum for lunch--his recommended restaurant (gluten allergy consideration) was perfect! The best part of the tour was that he worked with us to figure out the sights that were highest priority and an order that accounted for our day. Highly recommend!!!

          A wonderful experience - Highly Recommended!
          Our group used Elegant Greek Tours to pick us up at the Piraeus pier at the end of our cruise, for a tour of Athens the next day, and the return drive to the Athens airport. For each day the trip was flawless, the drivers two named Micheal, and one named Dimitris were fantastic. They were on time, explained many items that we went past, and seamlessly got us as requested. For the tour the next day, Micheal picked us up before the scheduled time, and picked up our tour guide Sotiris. What a tour Sotiris made the places visited come alive he was so knowledgeable and passionate about what we were visiting. We started at the Temple of Zeus and ended at the museum of the Acropolis, we also had a wonderful and delicious lunch at a local restaurant away from the tourist areas. If you are looking for any trip while visiting Athens, I would highly recommend using Elegant Greek Tours.

          Recommending Elegant Greek Tour company for your Athens tour!
          We booked a post cruise private tour for our group of 12 friends and our driver/guide was Dimitris, who was well dressed, with a great personality, knowledgeable and well spoken. We had a great day visiting all the places of interests with a good commentary by Dimitris at each place we visited. What I like about Elegant Greek Tour is that they were very accommodating to send all our luggage when we disembarked at the end of our cruise at Pireaus Port and sent to the hotel for storage before proceeding with the tour. I highly recommend this company for your private tour.

          Great Private Tour to Delphi
          Our group of 10 hired Elegant Greek Tours for a private tour of Delphi from Athens. The driver (Dimitris), the vehicle and guide (forget name) were amazing and suited our group perfectly. We were also taken to a fantastic restaurant in Delphi for lunch (at our cost) overlooking the valley out to the ocean - beautiful place and the food was excellent. A great service provided by Elegant Greek Tours and would definitely recommend them.

          Temple of Poseidon in Souniou
          Our private tour to the Temple of Poseidon was magnificent inspite of the horrendous heat wave. All thanks to Elegant Greek Tours's driver Michael who made life pretty bearable narrating about the Poseidon Temple history in his air conditioned luxury car. Mike went out of his way and dropped us for 2 hours at the Astir Beach for some sun bathing and swimming and then resumed our tour of the Athens Riviera and describing every magnificent views along the way. Mike is pretty knowledgeable and has made our tour the most enjoyable experience. My spouse and I definitely recommend this tour by elegant Greek Tours

          Best tour guide in Athens
          Had the most amazing time with the absolute best tour guide. George P, was extremely knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire day. He knew the best spots to see and visit throughout the entire city! Myself and my family would highly recommend touring with him!

          A little disappointing
          The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable but two of the four hours are spent by yourselves at the Acropolis without a guide. Not worth it.

          Athens at night is magical
          The Athens night driving tour was a private tour and a great one at that. We had a magnificent tour guide whose name was Dimitris – who we would have for three tours, and he was a knowledgeable and pleasant to travel with around Greece. Historical archeological sites bathed in artificial light was a treat to see and photograph. Highly recommend this tour on the first night you are in the city after a long flight to Greece or the next night after getting your time zone acclimated.

          Don't Expect a Guided Tour!
          Agree with the other reviewer -- very underwhelming and not really a tour. Spent two of the hours at a dinner which we paid for (though the food was very good) and the remainder driving to different stops and getting out to look by ourselves. You are essentially just hiring a driver when you book this tour. For the price, that might be worth it for a family or larger group but for me and my husband, it was not, unfortunately. Otherwise the vehicle was clean and comfortable and our driver was very kind.

          Great tour
          George was a great tour guide. Though this is quite expensive it really was worth having someone take care of the tickets ahead of time so we could skip the lines and who knew exactly where to go and where to drop us off. We only had two days in Athens but I feel like George gave us a fantastic summary of the whole city

          Great way to see Athens in a day!
          This was an excellent way to see the highlights of Athens in one day. Alex was a knowledgeable guide, took us to get the tickets when we arrived and planned the day so that we were able to avoid most of the crowds and extremely hot weather. He provided us information about each of the locations, gave us time to explore on our own and was flexible with the itinerary. He also provided us recommendations for dining and provided cold water and umbrellas as needed due to the heat. Alex was extremely flexible in adjusting the number of participants for the tour as the plans changed - and accommodated our larger group with a minibus.

          Mike was amazing. He described all the location z we went to and even more. He was very patient and engaging and funny. We learned a lot. It was the first time for most of us in Athens and it was a spectacular tour. We really. Enjoyed our lunch he choose for us. It was the best food we had in Greece. I would definitely do this again. Hé vehicle was spotless and accommodating and he was a very good assertive driver. ❤️

        Was a bit skeptical booking my own shore excursion versus booking with the cruise line but this tour was fantastic. Besides being cheaper than the cruise tour, we did so much more with our day in Athens. Our driver Michael was superb. He picked us up right at the dock and expertly navigated thru the madness that is Athens roads and traffic. Thank you Michael so much! You need to hire a licensed tour guide if you want someone to guide you thru the Acropolis and other sites. This company set my family up with Nikki and she was amazing! Besides the knowledge of the city and historical sites she expertly knew all the tricks to save time. She probably saved us 2-3 hours of total time for the day. For example, when we arrived at the Acropolis, the line to get up to the Acropolis was long and slow. Easily a 2 hour line. She used her magic, and by the time we were finished and walking out to our waiting van with Michael, I saw 2 of our cruise ship tour groups still in line waiting to just get in! With this time savings we were able to also visit the Temple of Zeus, Witness the changing of the Guards at the Prime Minister's residence, go to Olympic Stadium, tour the Acropolis Museum and have time for lunch. We could not have envisioned a better day tour! Thank you Elegant Greek Tours, Michael and Nikki!

        Michael was Johnny-on-the -spot. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, saving an additional taxi ride. He was early, too, so we didn’t have to wait on him. The six of us were chauffeured around in style. The vehicle was clean and cool. Michael would pull up as close as he could to the attraction, tell us the pertinent information and let us out. We communicated by the WhatsApp app to let him know when we were ready to be picked up and he would magically reappear. He also provided snacks and drinks. His English was not perfect, but you could still understand him. Michael is a driver. He is not a registered tour guide who accompanies you in to the sites to explain what you are seeing, thus he doesn’t charge as much as a tour guide with a driver. He was great for our group and needs.

        So glad that we decided to book this tour. We only had one full day in Athens post cruise and we knew we wanted to make the most of it. The extreme heat posed a challenge that we weren't expecting. Michael picked us up directly at our hotel and dropped us off as close as he possibly could to each location. Prior to us entering he did a very thorough job of explaining each location to us, and he helped us purchase the tickets we needed for the sites. Michael was also very strategic with the order in which we visited the sites to make sure that we didn't have to wait too long in the heat at the Acropolis. Michael also made a quick stop at Starbucks for us when we mentioned that we needed to get a mug for my friend's daughter. Overall, so pleased with the value of this tour for what we received and it made our day in Athens during the heat wave so much more enjoyable!

        Elegant Greek Tours was fantastic! We had a group of 6 adults and one infant, plus luggage and baby stroller etc. We hired a driver and an English speaking tour guide for the day to pick us up at our hotel at 9am, plus all of our luggage, take us for a day tour in Athens, and then drop us at the cruise port by 4pm. Activities included sightseeing, shopping, a several hour stop at the Parthenon, and lunch at a very authentic and affordable local eaterie. Both the driver and the guide (Dimitri and Martina) were excellent and accommodating especially considering the extra needs of the baby and helping us plan the day. Overall a really great experience.

        Vehicle was clean and full of snacks. Driver was professional. We were a group of 8 so two of us were in the front bench with the driver at all times. (I was expecting a larger van.) We were not assisted with skip the line access due to it not being peak season and the lines being small. This was frustrating as I had hoped to not wait in any sort of line given the vast age difference between my youngest age 4 and oldest 75 travel in our group. However, entrance fees were greatly reduced to 5 eur per person b/c it was not peak season, but we had to wait in line for that price. If I had to do it again, we would have hired a guide at the entrance of the Parthenon for that exhibit only, and spent more time there. The lunch was delicious and fresh, however due to it being the Jan 1st holiday observed, the restaurant got extremely crowded after we arrived, and service was slow. I had to text our driver to assist with the bill paying as the staff was so overloaded we were not getting service and my 75 year old hospitable mom stood up to stretch her legs and another guest asked her for her chair, which mistakenly she gave up.

        Hi. Thank you for your review. Check your booking and you ll see that this is the size for the van that you've booked. There are more vehicles/sizes when you book that you can choose. During the winter the prices in the sites and museums are half. Due to new years eve these days are more busy but nothing crazy. But always we give you the option to buy the combo ticket. These days were crowded everywhere . Celebrating days are like that. Anyway we are glad that you had good time during the tour and we hope to see you again in the future for more great days.

        We were so excited about this trip, and sadly, it was the lamest part of our trip. We had contacted the operator (Alex?) in advance and he had assured us the tour guide had extensive knowledge of the myhtological history behind these locations. Instead, the driver had trouble finding us, and acted as a taxi driver only, never accompanying us into any of the places we visited. Although we paid $409.05 for the tour, we had to buy tickets to the museums (30 euros x 3 at one, and 10 euros x 3) for the other, as he was dropping us off, he informed us that he had paid for our museum tickets (30 euros) and would need to be reimbursed. We were double parked on a very busy street with cars honking, so i decided not to argue the point, No he couldnt change a 50 euro so he got a 20 euro tip. We noticed lots of high quality tours passing by, and really wish we had taken one of them instead.

        Hi. Please next time you ll book a tour see carefully whats included and what its not. You didn't request for a Guide to be with you in the sites and the museum. Is written in the product that you can request a guide with an additional charge to accompany you. In Greece the drivers cannot accompany you by the law inside the sites and this is why we offer another option that you can choose if you like. The previous day you told us that the car cannot come where you stay because the street is very small. We arranged a meeting point, we sent you the Google map, you agreed but you got lost.. I dont know how this is our fault but ok. Anyway the driver picked you up from the place that you were after. Every day I personally make sure that the drivers have the changes that they need for the day. The driver never did that and this is a lie from you. Never had complains like that and its very insulting of what is written here. For everything else that its written on your review we mention on the product as you book. (You didn't pay attention) Best Regards Elegant Greek Tours Alex

        We booked this tour for 6 people the price was just under 400 USD. This tour was worth every penny. Our driver was Alex and if you can ask for a driver I highly recommend him. He arrived, probably at 9 AM. Extremely friendly, very helpful and very knowledgeable of Greek history. He explained each place we were going to in great detail before we got out the car to explore. He was very receptive to questions and was very passionate about the history. He gave us recommendations for food and he helped us tailor our 8 hours for our needs and wants. My wife ended up getting hurt on the Acropolis and he drove us around liking for a pharmacy and he even got out and translated for us to her the proper treatments. Unfortunately my wife could not finish the tour and instead of just dropping us back off at home he proceeded to just take us on a tour exclusively in the car and explained the places that the rest of the group would see after he dropped us off so she wouldn’t miss out on anything. Even after my wife had been dropped off he asked me how she was doing. Having him as the driver really makes needing a tour guide for an extra 250 euro a waste. The car was a Mercedes van, very clean and he even had water for us. All in all I highly recommend this tour it was a great experience and I would strongly encourage you to ask for Alex as a driver.

        We had a fantastic day! Our driver was really friendly ad very knowledgeable. They told us heaps of history, fun factors, and even gave recommendations for places to go and things to do while staying in Athens. He spoke very good and clear English, and was happy to rearrange the itinerary of the day to accommodate our schedules and wants. I would 100% recommend this tour. Keep in mind that this is not a guided tour - your driver is just that - your personal driver that will drive you all around Athens. Similarly, your ticket prices aren't included in the tour price, however the driver takes you to a "secret" area to buy your tickets where there's no lines. That being said, there's often still some lines to simply enter the attractions with your pre-purchased ticket (though they move quite quickly)

        Athens was the first of our 3 private tours my wife and I took with Elegant Greek Tours with Mike as a driver and Katherine as a French speaking guide. It was one of the best decision we took to avoid crowds in extreme hot conditions thanks to Elegant tour's luxurious air conditioned Mercedes. Mike was very discreet and courteous and Katherine very attentioned to our questions and needs which made our 8 hr tour of Athens Acropolis, Zeus Temple, the Olympic Stadium, and the changing of the guards mostly enjoyable compared to the suffering of crowds in less expensive public tours! All went perfectly well, Katherine took care of our tickets in guide priority lanes while Mike made sure we're conforfortable in his air conditioned car. We definitely recommend Elegant Greek Tours if you want to really enjoy Athens and Greek Mythology. Just ask Alex for Mike and Katherine to narrate a fairy tale story that you'll never forget.

        There were 4 of us on this tour but we could have included up to 8 for the same price. I agree with other reviewers that you are hiring a driver and vehicle that takes you to a variety of places but the driver is not your guide. He picked us up i a new Mercedes van which was easy to enter and leave and had internet and usb charging ports. He also provided cost water. We opted to add a licensed private guide who was excellent for an extra $260 Euro (300 with tip). Without Catherine, we would have been lost. We started early to get to the Acropolis before the crowds got thick. Our guide went with us to every site and explained in detail the history and importance of every aspect. Without her, we would have been on our own. Your driver will get you there but it up to you to interpret what you see. We concentrated on the Acropolis, the Agora, The Temple of Zeus and the new Acropolis Museum. We drove by many of the other sites and just made a photo stop but our driver would do whatever we wanted and our guide was willing to help us interpret every location. We stopped at a very nice local restaurant for about an hour for lunch. After the Acropolis Museum, we were personally out of gas and went back to our cruise ship. If we had more energy, we could have toured additional sights for another 2 hours. In my opinion, you need 4 people and 6 might be optimal. Adding a private guide is a must for the best experience. Expect to spent about $240 per person.
