Incredible Use of a Short Layover – Highly Recommend! - had just a 3-hour layover in Athens and wanted to make the most of it—this private driver tour was the perfect solution. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, everything ran smoothly and efficiently. Our driver Alex was waiting for us at arrivals with a clear sign, and he immediately made us feel welcome. The vehicle was clean, spacious, and air-conditioned—ideal for the summer heat. What really stood out was the driver’s deep knowledge of the city and ability to tailor the route based on our tight schedule and interests. In just under three hours, we managed to see the Acropolis Museum, Hadrian’s Arch, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Syntagma Square, and the Old Olympic Stadium. Alex also took us to an amazing lookout where we could admire the whole city. If you have a short layover in Athens, this tour is a fantastic way to experience the city's highlights without worrying about logistics. Efficient, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable!

Best way to see the city with limited time! - We had approximately seven hours between disembarking our cruise ship and flying out of Athens. This three hour driving tour was the smartest choice we could’ve made! We were picked up from the cruise port, our luggage was stowed safely in the van and were driven to all the highlights of Athens and given time to walk around. Since it was a private tour, we could spend as much as little time at each destination as we wanted. At the end of our time we were dropped off at the airport. Our driver, Panos, really knew the area and all the best places to take us. He was very kind and patiently answered our questions. I would 100% recommend this tour, especially if you’re in some sort of layover situation and have limited time to see the city. This is a very efficient way!

Great Biblical View of Athens - Our driver, Peter, was excellent! He took us to all the places expected and shared a few opinions of his own which we really appreciated. We looked up many places that the Apostles Paul visited. Next time I'm in Athens I definitely want Peter to take us around! Thank you for all your help!

CHRISTOS Delivered Athens in A1 style! - Cannot say enough about how amazing our afternoon with CHRISTOS was. We had very limited time to see the “must-sees” and he made sure we got to all of them and gave us succinct and memorable history along the way. Our ferry was an hour late but he adjusted and told us not to worry, and we didn’t. He made sure we saw everything…even told us the trick to get through the acropolis museum efficiently. He communicated really well throughout the day, his English is fantastic, and he is very humorous in a Big Fat Greek Wedding kind of way! If you only have time for one thing in Athens , hire Yomadic Tours and ask for CHRISTOS!
