- We had a fabulous half day tour with Paddy. He was an excellent guide and host for Athens. We travelled with our two children (9 and 7yo) and he kept them engaged. We would never have been able to see as many monuments in that period of time on our own! The A/C car was a luxury during the Athens heat wave. He was also incredibly accommodating and patient as our 7yo uses a wheelchair. After dropping us off at the end of the night both kids were disappointed they were not going to see Paddy the next day.

- My fiancé and I booked the Best of Athens Half Day Tour based on the wonderful recommendations on TripAdvisor, and the reviews are absolutely spot on! Our tour guide Paddy was wonderful every step of the way and created a truly excellent experience for us. He wonderful job timing out each part of the tour and sharing the history of Athens along the way. He also took amazing photos of us in front of the key landmarks, and gave us tips for the best spots to view and enjoy each of the stops. The dinner at the end was delicious and a truly authentic Greek experience. We would 10/10 recommend this experience to anyone looking to enjoy the highlights of Athens, and make sure you ask for Paddy!

- Yianis was such an amazing guide. We could not be more pleased with his knowledge, professionalism and hospitality. We only had one day in Athens and he made sure we made the most of it. Thank you so much!

- The tour was wonderful. We saw everything on our checklist of places to see, and our guide Paddy treated us like royalty. Both with his care for us and all the information he shared. At one point he even showed us exactly where to stand for the best views when the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier guards change at the Parliament Building.

Great Tour - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had many wonderful stories about Athens. As a senior (over 65) our guide made sure I had no issues hearing him - thank you! Our lunch was outstanding. Upon our request, our guide stopped so can experience Greek coffee and wine. Thank you!
