Amazing Athens Tour! - Evangelos was prompt and met us directly at the entrance/exit of the cruise port. Immediately he went into telling us fascinating facts about the culture, daily life, and history of Piraeus and Athens. This guy knew his stuff. I really liked how he not only talked about historical aspects of Athens (which is obviously important) but he also dove deep into family life, daily life, cultural traditions, entertainment and even architecture, city planning, and zoning. He was a wealth of knowledge. The ride was extremely comfortable and he took us to go see some out of tis world sites. Even though there was some traffic in the city as we were driving around, he kept us entertain and entranced with his knowledge, but there was also a good balance of silence and letting us look around uninterrupted. Evangelos somehow got us to the changing of the guard, at the EXACT perfect time. I was thoroughly impressed. As much my mother and I loved our experience around the city, my favorite part was when he went out of his way to find us a good Greek restaurant so that we could grab some togo Gyros and Souvlaki to go before getting back on our cruise ship. I should have bought two extra gyros, they were SOOOO good. Thanks Evangelos, you made my Mom and my first trip to Athens a very memorable one, and I am already planning my return!

Athens at a glance. - Whilst on a recent Greek cruise we had Athens as one of our destinations so I researched an independent tour.Brilliant couple of hours seeing the sites of Athens.Excellent communication, Michel our driver was
waiting for us at the cruise terminal, very knowledgeable and adaptable for what we wanted to see during the 4 hours.
Have used Viators now for several countries and would continue to trust them for independent tours.
