Dear Nikos,
We wanted you to know how pleased we were with the tour you arranged for six of us in Athens on Sunday, October 25th! Our van, the driver, and guide, Gabriella, all provided us with a wonderful day of sightseeing. Even though the sky opened up with “buckets of rain pouring down” on us, we had a great day, and particularly enjoyed a delicious lunch of Greek dishes in the Plaka after touring the Acropolis. Gabriella was knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions. Thank you so very much – it was a pleasure to meet you and take your tour.
Sincerely,
Dianna and Jim Pennington

Dear Nikos,
I had just finished writing a draft for you, when I received your e-mail this morning. Great minds think alike!
I’m just writing to say a big thank you for suggesting my husband and I do a full day Athens tour instead of the ½ day tour.
We arrived by cruise boat on the 7 July 2011 and were met by Makis. He was on time and immediately made us feel welcome.
Makis was engaging, informative, friendly and helpful. He put us in the right places to see things at the right time (we arrived at the Acropolis early before most of the crowd, and Makis stood us right in front of where the Changing of the Guard took place). We were shown a local place to eat lunch (one of the tastiest and cheapest in all the ports we visited!).
We saw so many attractions in the little amount of time we had available (about 8 hours), many places we hadn’t even known about and Makis explained them all so we could really understand the culture.
We felt fortunate to have such an accommodating guide. We did several other tours in other countries and have to say that Makis was the most positive, professional and enthusiastic guide we encountered. He made our visit to Athens a pleasure and we hope to return sometime in the future.
Makis – thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you and really appreciate everything you did for us. ( Baklava was fantastic).
Kind regards
Mark and Deborah Finnigan

Hello Nikos,
Sorry for the delay in getting back with you. Work tends to take over my world, which is why those wonderful few days in Athens were so precious to me so I could get away!
First of all, my driver was actually Demetrious (not sure how to spell). Hopefully that was who you intended it to be (not Jimmy). He was very knowledgeable and very accommodating to meet my needs. The tours were very good, efficient, and exactly what I was looking for! (this is why I wanted a private tour in the first place)
I was very pleased with how quickly you responded to me each time I emailed and how flexible you were, especially when I changed my plans at the last minute (changed my dates and hotel). I came to you based upon reviews on Trip Advisor and intend to write a good review on there about you also.
Thank you for your good service and I will be happy to recommend you to others.
Until next time,
Darlene Martin

Hi Nikos,
We REALLY enjoyed our day with you and Anna in Athens. Everyone enjoyed the sites and Anna did very well with my family. The daughters and nieces have been telling everyone about our wonderful day and showing photos.
On thing we especially liked was the balance between the hot tiring part of the tour and then the relaxing up to the views on Lycabettus Hill. It gave us a chance to cool down and recharge.
We will definitely be back to Greece. I am trying to talk my husband into a Greek Isles cruise next year with a few days in Athens. We are checking into which ones would be best for my daughter’s special needs and special diet. We thought about the 7 nt. Louis Cruises but they have not responded to my inquiry about if they can handle Chason’s gluten-free diet. If we come back we will definitely contact you. I like the idea of your Sounion tour that’s on the website.
I have also written favourable reviews of you on Cruise Critic and Trip Advisor.
Please tell Anna we said hello and how much we enjoyed our day!
Thank you again,
Theresa Stephenson

Hi Niko
I just wanted to make sure and let you know what a wonderful day in Athens we spent with Tom on June 24th. He was gracious, knowledgeable, flexible with the plans to best accommodate what would work for us, and took the best care of us out of all of the places we visited while on a 12 day Mediterranean cruise. He was our first guide, so we didn’t have anyone to compare him with and he was the best out of all that we had!
We are so glad we chose your company-it was very worth it and we loved being in Athens.
Sincerely,
Courtney Burns

Hi Nikos,
You run an excellent, personal service and that is exactly what we were looking for in Athens. I’ve given your email to several people that are heading to Athens, along with an excellent recommendation to retain your services. In fact, I just gave your email this morning to a friend of mine leaving for Athens on Monday. Alex was spectacular. I think one of my favorite things about him was he gave a historical perspective, both ancient and modern. Everywhere else we went it was only ancient history, and while I am very interested in ancient history, I really enjoy the modern so much more.
The other thing that we liked was you checking up on how our day was going. Brian and I were very impressed that you showed up in the middle of the city to see how things were going. That was a really nice touch to the whole service.
If you or Alex are ever planning a trip to San Antonio please get in touch.
And thank you again for a great experience.
Annie Monahan
Hope to keep in touch!

Hi Nikos
We had a great time in Athens.
Your driver was very good and a great ambassador for your country and for your company. He had us at all the sites on schedule and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, take the photos and even enjoy a Gyros.
I would certainly recommend your service for anyone interested in getting the most out of a day in Athens.
Unfortunately I had left for my trip before I received your email and I am sure that we would have got the message to meet him at the Terminal. We lost a little time but for all of us thank you so much as it was great to see my name being displayed amongst all the other drivers and straight to the car.
Having the Mercedes also offered us extra comfort and space. You should give Manos some Greek jokes to get him talking, as we could have listened to him all day.
Regards
David Bisset

Hi Nikos,
I have been meaning to send feedback, but time just seems to get away! Our time in Athens was WONDERFUL! To be honest, there was nothing we would have changed. Manos was great! He answered all of our questions, listened to our desires, and tailored our tour to fit us perfectly. The restaurant he brought us to for lunch was delicious and exactly the type of place we were looking for. We had a perfect day in Athens, thanks to Manos and your company.
We will be sure to recommend you to any friends or family who will be visiting Athens.
A belated thank you for a great day!

Nikos,
We LOVED our day in Athens and Stefano was fabulous. Absolutely no complaints – we felt we were in good hands from beginning to end. We do hope that we can get back to your beautiful country and city some day again.
