Exceptional Experience and Highly Recommended
We booked a transfer from Athens airport to Piraeus cruise port combined with a 1/2 day tour for August 22. Our driver Andreas monitored the flight and was aware that it was arriving 1 hour early. When the flight landed he messaged us via WhatsApp that he was already at the airport and waiting just outside customs. The Mercedes sedan was spotlessly clean with the A/C set to our preference. The tour and transfer to the cruise port were exactly as described, customized to our request and priced as agreed. Andreas thoughtfully provided bottles of water and stopped for coffee as he knew we were on the red-eye flight. We were dropped off right at the entrance to each site, he knew exactly how long it would take us to tour the location and he was always waiting at the pickup location when promised. It was so convenient to leave our luggage in the sedan while touring the sites. Andreas is very professional, a skilled driver and also proud & knowledgeable of Athens history. It was a nice surprise on the last day of the cruise when he messaged us and offered to drive us back to the airport. You could not ask for better service than this.

Great experience, would highly recommend it.
We booked the transfer to the athens airport - our driver was super friendly and even called us in advance, that he'll be 3 minutes late. The car was very nice and he organized a childrens seat for our 3 year old son. We would highly recommend, booking this taxi.
