What people are saying about Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens

I had a wonderful experience using the Electric Tuk Tuk to see and explore the back streets and historic sites of Athens. Akis, our guide, picked us up directly from the hotel and paid attention to the smallest of details. He provided blankets to keep us warm and ensured that we experienced the best local cuisine like Gelato and Souvlaki. He gracouisly stopped to allow us to take as many photos as we liked. I would highly recommend all who visit Athens to use the Electric Tuk Tuk.

Our guide was great! Def the best way to see the city… on foot would have been exhausting… the description is a little misleading as you drive by most… we got tickets to the arena and acropolis… I recommend buying those online before you get there to save time!

Was good but due to the cold we didn’t go and venture out at areas we would have in the summer. Tour ended up being short. No one’s fault. Driver was excellent, tour was excellent.

Amazing experience. Our guide gave us special attention and it’s very knowledgeable about the city and the places we visited.

Chris was a great guide, and the tuk tuk was extremely maneuverable around the city.
