Unforgettable Private Tour with Aristotle

This was the absolute highlight of our week in Peloponnese. With one full day to see Athens before leaving in the morning we took the opportunity to book a full day tour with Aristotle and what a guide he is! A former guard in the army at the palace and brilliant archaeology and history graduate… how could you possibly ask for more. With a gorgeous Mercedes van, we were whisked around the city for 7 hours, front door service and amazing knowledge of Greece and Athens. Our boys 16 & 18 (not easy to impress) were blown away by this young guide and I believe he has left a lasting impression on them both. If you are debating a tour- take it, you will not be disappointed- you will be left full of more passion for history and Greece than you arrived.

Look no further - this is the one.

We were met at our hotel lobby by a very friendly and welcoming guide. My husband and I chose to have a private guide to experience Athens alone and without a lot of the chaos with group travel. What a pleasant surprise that our guide was a native Spartan and had such a diverse background. This allowed us to gain a very authentic and genuine perspective of the history, culture, and customs of Athens and Greece. We were able to discover some lesser known secrets of Athens travelers. Additionally, after sharing our love for seafood, our driver took us to a wonderful restaurant on the water to enjoy the fresh catch of the day (literally caught by the restaurants fishing boat that morning). We also enjoyed some delicious Greek wine and liquor with anise (a customary drink). I could go on and on about our experience, but it would best be understood if you experience it for yourself. BOOK THIS ! You will not regret.

Unforgettable Private Tour with Aristotle

Absolutely fantastic! Aristotle made our private tour an unforgettable experience. His friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge made every moment enjoyable and informative. Fluent in English, Italian, and Greek, he effortlessly communicated with us. He took us to the best spots and shared intriguing stories that brought each location to life. Plus, he had two incredible surprises for us outside of the itinerary that I won't spoil, but they were definitely worth it. Highly recommend Aristotle for a memorable and personalized tour!
