Themis is one of the friendliest people I met in all of Greece. Themis and his crew will make sure that everything is right for you during you tour. All you have to do is be friendly and ask! We were picked up and greeted very warmly at the Athens airport and driven straight to Nafplio. Everywhere we went is somewhere this company has been before, they really are experts and know all the ways around Greece if you are anxious you really never need to worry about getting lost with these guys. Themis answered all my questions that I had about Greece including a huge range of things from the types of olives grown on certain farms to the type of music that has come out of modern Greece. While we were on the trip it was extremely hot and the vehicles on the tour were all beautifully kept with A/C plus coolers with drinks for guests to keep the mediterranean sun on the outside of your tour. Anything you need can be accommodated by Themis, whether it be somewhere to eat, to stay, a museum to visit, if they are not sure of something they most definitely know someone who does and will get them to you. Much like other small businesses in Greece you can make your trip as good as you want to. Treat them like family and you will get treated as such back. I am truly thankful for this experience and am dying to go back! ... Oh i forgot to mention the sight seeing you say??? Its ancient freakin Greece. Everything is amazing. Just make a list of things you want to see. "Ruins? Museums? Food?" You can look things up if you want but they really have you covered!Gary_W

A lot of money for a "Chauffeur". Dropped us at the sites, very little information about any of the area. Only answered when asked what things were. Would not recommend.

From the moment Stella and Themis collected us from the airport our every need was catered for. The luxury vehicle was very comfortable and spacious (ample seating for 7) it had cold drinks, WiFi charging and the oh so important air conditioning. We were taken on a 1 day tour and Stella and Themis interjected with their humour and made our day very enjoyable. They ensured we didn’t have to queue for any attraction and took us to their favourite restaurant so we got the local Athens food experience. They offered us a flexible itinerary and we’re happy to change anything we wanted. I would not hesitate in recommending these guys!! DianeTim_S

Good driver with excellent knowledge of local area. Nice car. Very pragmatic in allowing us to do what we wanted to do. Would recommend using the service to anyone. We had a day to kill in Athens pre an evening flight out of Greece so zipped around the town to see the major sites, had some great local food and took a leisurely drive to airport afterwards. Only comment I would make being we did this on a Sunday when traffic was at the lows.. if you did it on a Saturday or mid week the central city driving maybe harder.
