Knocked out most of the top sights in 4 hours - Pantellis was right on time. Kept us on schedule and was informative about not only the locations we visited but also about life in Greece. The car was nice and clean and cool. Had a great and productive day thanks to him,

Excellent way to see Athens! - Luxurious minibus, friendly professional and excellent guide. Got us to the Acropolis before the big crowds (8-12 noon guided tour) and we felt we covered everything we needed in Athens

Unforgettable time in Athens… - Incredible Athens Tour with Olive Travel Group – Highly Recommended!
We recently took a guided sightseeing tour of Athens with Olive Sea Travel Group, and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Greece. From start to finish, everything was seamless, informative, and unforgettable. Special thanks to Bill for his excellent communication and coordination, Vaso, our amazing guide, and Terry, our skilled and friendly driver, they made the day very special!
This tour was the perfect mix of history, culture, and scenic views. If you’re visiting Athens and want to experience the city’s iconic landmarks in a well-organized, informative, and enjoyable way, I can’t recommend Olive Sea Travel enough. Vaso passion for Greek history and culture was amazing, and Terry’s professionalism and warm hospitality made the day smooth and stress-free.

Terry was absolutely... - Terry was absolutely amazing! He was full of information and shared the history and stories behind all of the iconic buildings and stops. He was so accommodating, allowing us to stop and take a few photos at the temple of Zeus, providing bottled water, and even helped us to a souvenir shop! It was wonderful to have ac breaks in the van in between the hot and crowded stops. We would 100% recommend this tour!

Excellent experience from beginning to end - Like many of you we had no idea which tour to choose. We wanted a “skip the line” experience at the acropolis and also wanted to see the temple of Poseidon. So we booked 2 tours with the same company on the same day. It was amazing to work with Olive Sea Travel!!
From the moment we booked, they reached out to us in advance of our arrival in Greece. We were able to split our two tours so that we did the acropolis in the morning (8am) and then took the second tour later in the day (4:30pm)
Manos our guide was fantastic. He messaged us that morning, arrived on time to pick us up from our hotel. The car was comfortable for 3 adults. He had already purchased tickets and drove us directly to the Acropolis. Because he is not a licensed guide, he could not go into the Acropolis with us. But he took the time to explain everything that we would see, where to look for certain features. We walked ourselves for about 90 minutes seeing all of the different features and ruins of the Acropolis. When we finished, Manos was waiting for us with a cool car and cold water. Then he preceded to take us to other sites within Athens. We saw the temple of Zeus, sacred cemetery of the ancient Greeks, changing of the Guard at the royal Palace, the temple of hephaestus, the ancient Roman Agora (market) and at the end the Olympic Stadium.
All along the way the knowledge and history stories were amazing and he shared insightful things about both ancient and modern Greece. The conversation was great and Manos made sure we saw all the things we wanted to see.
We were taken back to our hotel where we could relax and get some lunch and then at 4:30pm he arrived again on time to pick us up for the second tour to Sounio. This was roughly a 90 minute drive south from Athens. We talked about many stories and Manos shared some great insights about his future and the Greek history. We stoped at an amazing lake and also stopped a a few beaches to fell the water. We could have spent time swimming but we had not chosen to bring our swim suits. We arrived at the base of the Temple of Poseidon
There was a nice local beach and some great sea food restaurants. We enjoyed a fantastic fish and traditional Greek meal before heading to the temple. Once there we entered and experienced an amazing sunset out over the ocean at the base of the temple.
It was such a great day. We feel that we were able to see ALL of the key ancient sites and we had a wonderful guide who kept us entertained and comfortable at all times.
We would highly recommend this tour company and the tour they offered. All tickets were provided and ready for us so there was never a wait. Chose them with confidence.
