Traveller reviews
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with this transfer company during our trip to Greece! From the moment we arrived at the airport to our journey to our hotel and our unforgettable day trip to Ancient Olympia, everything was seamless and stress-free. A special thank you to our driver, Lazaros, who was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made us feel welcome right away and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout every transfer. His local insights and warm personality really added something special to our trip. The vehicle was spotless, punctuality was perfect, and the overall service was truly 5-star. As visitors from Australia, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Greece – and if you can, ask for Lazaros!
Kostas and Lazarus gave us a fantastic tour of Athens. Kostas is a retired teacher who shared great information and stories about each place we visited. They were also very flexible and made sure we saw what we were interested in, swapping out museums at our request, for example. We had two new friends at the end of the day. Highly recommend!
Arthur was one of the best tour guides we’ve had, very informative, friendly and accommodating. We will definitely book with him when we come back to Greece! Thanks again for a tons of fun!
Totti was excellent! She even climbed with us to the highest point in Greece! She also took us to a great restaurant! It was amazing!
Lazarus was a very good guide and driver! Thank you for the introduction to Athens. He was always on time as well! We had a great experience
We had the most amazing experience today. we took a 5 hour air conditioned van tour of Athens. We were very fortunate to have Kosta as our tour guide along with a really great driver, Lazarus. They took us to many sites such as the changing of the guard at the palace, showed us so many historical sites and museums, and of course took us to see the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Costa was so knowledgeable about Greece, it added so much to the tour! Our group had members with limited mobility and they made sure to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Athens.
It was wonderful touring at the end of a cruise. Our driver Lazarus was wonderful and our tour guide costas was extremely informative. We saw everything we wanted to see and either my wife’s mobility issue they were very very accommodating.
We had a great time with Golden Greece Tours! The staff was friendly and professional, we managed to see all the "must-see" spots of Athens. Thanks a lot :) !!!
