Private Greece Tours - Vizantiou 6

Wonderful Tour!! Dominic was knowledgable, timely and funny. We have a fantastic mid day tour of Athens and then drove up to see the sunset at Temple Poseiden. I highly recommend Private Greece Tours!

This was a GREAT tour and absolutely worth the cost! The company owner Nikos really listened to what we wanted and we were able to modify the tour accordingly. Also, our tour guide, Kostas, was also fantastic. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and adapted to what we wanted to see and had many great suggestions about other things to see while in Athens. He was also a really safe, excellent, and smooth driver, which is not easy in Athens!

We were ending a week long cruise and didn’t have a lot of time in Athens before our flight. We needed a transfer to the airport but wanted to do some sightseeing. Nicolas hooked us up with a private car and the driver George was WONDERFUL!! Very courteous polite and super knowledgeable. He took us to a few specific sites that didn’t disappoint. We loved him. Would definitely is them again.

We only had one day in Athens before boarding our cruise ship. I contacted Nikos several months before our trip and he was extremely helpful and importantly, very flexible! We ended up changing the type of tour a couple times and since we were just arriving on an overnight flight, we weren't sure we would be up for a full day tour, so Nikos said it was no problem to decide that morning when our driver picked us up. Our driver (Makis) was waiting for us when we got through customs and we quickly went off to start our tour. Makis suggested going to Cape Sounion first to be most efficient with our day since the airport is a ways outside of Athens. We then went to Athens to hit the highlights. Makis was great, providing us lots of information while driving to the next sites (we had thought about hiring a guide as well, but in the end, felt like we got plenty of info from Makis and were glad we didn't also hire a guide). And we were amazed how much we packed into the day; Makis knew just when to hit the changing of the guard and did an amazing job navigating all the traffic. At Acropolis, he dropped us right off at the closest point and then we texted him as we were heading back down. Makis also was great about taking our pictures at all the sites and was a wealth of knowledge about Greek history and all the historical sites. Overall, I would highly recommend and others on our cruise were quite envious of our whirlwind tour where they spent hours and hours at just a single site on a group tour ;) !

Nikos runs a fantastic organization. First of all, he was a great communicator and did not hesitate to make suggestions and to work with us as we customized most of our tours. We took 4 day long tours with his organization over 10 days across the Greek mainland. Nikos then set us up a last minute 5th custom tour with another fantastic driver. I wish I could remember his name as he deserved a shout out as well for his care of us on a tour to Poseidon's temple. Nikos pared us with George for our original 4 day tours as our driver and guide. 3 were out of the western Greece area and the 4th tour out of Athens to Delphi. 2 of the tours were completely unique to our needs and George did not miss a beat. Great driving, excellent care of our group, the best communication we could ask for, very accommodating while still keeping us on track. Not only was our driver/guide George great, but the private site guides that Nikos arranged were also top notch! Personable, knowledgeable and all spoke good English.

By far the best private tour guide I had! We were lucky to have George as our driver and guide for our 3 days in Athens. He is very knowledgeable, patient, very engaging with both adults and children. He was very flexible with us on the schedule and went well above and beyond to make our visit as informative and enjoyable as possible. Highly recommending this company and George! Thanks!!!

I can’t say enough about PGT. From my first interaction with Nikos while I was planning our trip from home in the U.S. Nikos was quick to respond, always responsive to what I was asking and once we finalized our itinerary the finalization of our reservations was quick and easy. Upon landing in Athens we were greeted by Dominick. A big man with a huge smile and an even bigger heart. We were traveling with our two young sons (9&12) and Dominick had the perfect touch to keep them engaged and bond with them right from the start. Dominick was our designated driver/guide for our entire stay. A detail that obviously Nikos understands. When we clicked with Dominick our greatest fear was we would have someone different. Not the case. Nikos was sure to keep us with Dominick the whole week. He was so knowledgeable, entertaining and we always felt safe and secure in all of our various adventures. Each day PGT had provided a private tour guide for the sites we went to. Each one of them had obviously been personally selected and each one of them was knowledgeable and entertaining. Once done at the sites we would visit towns and Dominick would provide us with great recommendations for restaurants or ice cream or shopping. PGT is best in class and if their other drivers are even half as special as Dominick you can’t go wrong. We loved Greece and PGT was a huge part of delivering that experience.

Wow! What a great trip. And to have a guide/driver/friend just drive you around and tell you about the sights, restaurants, shops, etc is priceless. George is awesome. He even played games with our family in the evenings. (He’s very competitive :) ). The food was magnificent. The history and archeology were fantastic. The trip exceeded our expectations. And to not have to worry about anything with your own private driver was beyond words. We were well taken care of.
