★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,495 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $49

Athens airport transfer review: private meet and greet, flight tracking, vehicle choices, pricing, luggage limits, timing, and who should book.

“Pro’s: driver was professional, prompt, and courteous. He was well on time for the pickup, was able to fit all our luggage (4 pieces), car was clean and comfortable, and walk to the car was a short distance away. Con: it took over an hour to get from the airport to downtown because he avoided the toll roads and took side streets. My assumption for a $100+ black car service is we’d be able to take the toll roads to get there faster.”

6.Private Classic Santorini Panorama: Visit the most popular destinations!

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 872 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $235

Review of Santorini’s private 5 to 6-hour island tour, covering Oia, beaches, villages, the lighthouse, and Mount Profitis Ilias.

“Had a wonderful tour of the island highlights with our guide Tasos. He shared inside knowledge about the island, not just from the perspective of a tourist there for a few days but also telling us a bit about growing up on the island and being a student in Greece. Each stop wasn't just the highlights, but also some out of the way pieces of culture, such as a well preserved cave bunker of the locals from olden times. I would recommend not dallying on the beaches very long; make that its own activity for a different time.”

He truly brought ancient Greece to life for us with additional surprises that made our experience all the more special. You couldn’t hope to meet a more proud Athenian - he does both Athens and his profession incredibly proud. A forever unforgettable and treasured experience! Thank you Aristotle.”
