Best way to see Athens by far!!! Lambros is the coolest, most knowledgeable tour guide I have ever had! He made our short time in Athens so interesting, taking us to both the big sites and the not-so-well-known gorgeous views! I will 100% be reaching out to him for another tour when I make my way back to Greece.

Athens at its best Upon getting off the ship in athens, there was an army of taxi drivers who were waiting to take the cruise goers on a tour. We saw a nicely dressed man who had a nice mercedes, we approached him and upon greeting him he spoke perfect english. We asked him if he could give us a tour and a have a nice lunch at a great restaurant. Lambros gave us a wonderful tour of athens, sharing a vast knowledge of the history of athens, and commented on insightful landmarks. Lambros then took us to an amazing restaurant right on the water and made sure we were back to the ship in a timely manner. Exemptional tour and great memories.
