Hi Nikos,
I wanted to thank you and our guide Alex for a great tour of Athens. Alex was polite, informative, and guided us along at our pace. I’ll put some good comments on cruisecritic.com and tripadvisor.com
Thanks,

Nikos,
We had an absolutely wonderful time with you in Athens last fall (October 2010)
We loved the whole tour and were especially pleased with you as our tour guide/driver. You were always professional in everything you did and made us feel very comfortable throughout the tour. All seven of us still talk about our tour of Athens and how it was by far the best shore excursion of the entire 14 day cruise.
It was also the best value for the money of our trip. Thank you so much and we will recommend you to anyone who is planning a trip to Greece.

We enjoyed your tour very much, Nikos, especially our freedom to customize a bit. You were most accommodating. Great lunch!!
I posted a review on the “Trip Advisor” site.

Hello Nikos
Athens with your company was the highlight of our trip. And we still talk about George taking us to a real Greek restaurant for authentic Greek food. George took great care of us.
Don’t change a thing. We would not hesitate to use your services again, or refer anyone to you.

Nikos,
It’s funny that you wrote because we were just talking about our trip and especially our time in Greece with Manos.
I can’t think of one thing that would have improved our tour with you.
We spent a lovely day with him. Please tell him hello from us.
I told our travel agent how pleased we were with your services and I won’t hesitate to recommend you if I have the opportunity!
Thanks again,
Mary Hart

Dearest Nikos,
My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful day touring Athens with Manos. He was so wonderful. We are grateful that we were able to see so much in such a short time. I appreciate both of you taking such great care of us. It was a pleasure to meet you as well. I thought that was funny when you opened the door. I am honored to have met you. Thank you again, if you don’t mind, I will include you in a review that I will post about our trip on a forum called cruise critic.
Have a wonderful day, and please extend our gratitude to Manos,
Sincerely,
Nancy Miller

Hello Nikos,
Just a short note to thank you for looking after us on our recent visit to Athens. We were very impressed with your service, the van and your extensive knowledge of the city. Speaking to other ship passengers in the days after it seems we had certainly made the right choice. Many had relied on public transport and walking around and only got to experience a fraction of what we managed to see with you.
I have left a review on Trip Advisor that should appear in the next day or so and I hope others will get to read it and experience your wonderful service.
Thank you again and I wish you all the very best.

Dear Nikos,
I first want to begin saying, George was absolutely one of the best and most amazing tour guides we had during our entire 12 days cruise.
I also want to say that we were so grateful how his helped us handle the theft of my husbands wallet. He drove us immediately to the office where we had help cancelling all our credit cards. I am truly appreciative how, while he got us organized with you, he miraculously escorted the rest of my family to a restaurant next door and helped them order the most amazing meal. They were able to relax, eat and drink while we dealt with the stress of the credit card companies. Even though the theft was unsettling, George did a wonderful job of helping us continue on with our tour and put aside our woes and really enjoy the rest of the day.
Although George was originally supposed to be only our driver, he took over seamlessly when our original tour guide had to leave for an emergency. We all felt like George was meant to be our one and only guide that day. Your company is truly lucky to have him.
Your tour of Athens covered all the sites that a tourist must see and some we didn’t know about, which was great. The length of time at the Acropolis and the Museum were perfect. It was extremely hot in August and we could not have tolerated any more time up there. George gave us great advice about the exact minute to exit the van at the changing of the guards so we wouldn’t suffer heat exhaustion and he made sure we got to some tourist sites before the crowded tour buses. It was the tiniest of details that made him an amazing guide and our tour so enjoyable.
My entire family of 11 people have nothing but great things to say about your company and George who made our time in Athens so memorable. I really can’t make any suggestions or recommendations about improving the tour, since it served our needs perfectly, We really liked the guided tour and information provided along the way and we also liked that we could see the museum, Acropolis and Plaka at our own pace without a guide. It allowed us to spend as much or as little time in the areas that interested us.
Thank you so much. I would highly recommend your company and would definitely want George as our tour guide not just our driver, if we come back to Athens.
Sincerely,
Debra Bartolotti
