What are people saying about Athens

Keith_L, Nov 2026

Great experience - very chill

It’s about a 2.5 hr drive one way from Athens. You get about 2.5hr at Delphi itself, then another 2hr for lunch at Arachova, before returning to Athens. Considering the distance, it was a very well-paced itinerary. This is a small group tour, and there were only 7 people in my group. The vehicle could fit max 10 pax. My guide was Opheas and he got us there swiftly, safely, and was very patient and detailed in his explanations. Highly recommend this for any visitor to Athens

Delphi Guided Small Group Day Tour from Athens

Masino, Nov 2026

A Wonderful Day

We had a beautiful day trip to Delphi with our guide. The trip was well worth the Athens traffic jams both coming back and going to Delphi. Our guide was outstanding and we had a fabulous lunch in the mountains on our stop. This was a full day getaway and was a high poibt of our 10 days in Greece. A big thanks to our guide and driver. Bravo.

Acropolis of Athens, Ancient Agora and the Agora Museum Tour

Gerry_A, Oct 2026

Outstanding guide and experience.

Aigli was our guide and should be a professor. A true teacher and very knowledgeable. The terrain is challenging and not always safe, but be prepared with good shoes. Ancient Athens agora was a deeply moving and soul touching experience as we felt the echoes of the people who lived there 2500 years ago. To walk in the paths of philosophers and architects who built Athens physically and mentally is an experience beyond words. We loved the sit down spots where aigli became a philosopher and philosopher for us. The overwhelming architecture withstands earthquakes and war. What can the future hold for these outdoor treasures? Better than AI or google, a tour from a licenced guide helps one reap more from these adventures. Loved it!!!!

Margaret_W, Oct 2026

Strenuous in slippery...

The Acropolis & Pantheon was Strenuous in slippery weather when wet but so worth while for the effort. Our guide Maria was caring and kept us safe. The museum was fantastic. This experience would mean very little without an experienced guide to bring it to life.

Premium Delphi Day Trip with an Expert Guide, Museum & Lunch

Joanne_J, Oct 2026

Best tour guide ever!

We had a fabulous guided tour of Delphi on Oct.21. What made it special was the extremely knowledgeable and helpful guide we had. From the time we stepped on to the bus, to the time we got off he was imparting his vast knowledge about ancient Greece and recommendations for what to see in Athens. He was the best guide we have ever had anywhere in our world travels. We opted for the 'no lunch included' option and found that worked best for us. It allowed us more time to explore the quaint village nearby.

Athens Electric Bike Tour

Cheryl_C, Oct 2026

Fun way to explore Athens

This was an enjoyable way to explore Athens. The electric bikes were easy to use and helmets were available. George was our tour guide and he was entertaining and informative. We saw the Acropolis and other historical sites from various angles and also the changing of the guards from a good vantage point. The bikes enabled us to cover a wide area over a few hours. George also gave us tips on where to eat and we had a wonderful meal at Jimmy’s Fish in Piraeus as a result of George’s recommendation. Overall, a fun activity and good for getting your bearings at the start of your trip in Athens.

From Athens: Small-Group Mycenae, Epidaurus & Nafplio Trip

Merilee_S, Oct 2026

Fantastic day full of archeology and castles!

We had a little problem about knowing where to meet our group at the plaza but she contacted me and we found her. The tour guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about archeology and the sites. Mycenae was amazing! I would put it on the scale right with Machupicchu. Nafplio was this town like Venice but with no canals. Very ornate with flowers and architecture and castles all around you. We had lunch on the square. So relaxing and beautiful! I could have stayed there all day! Epidaurus was fun too! A very fun day! I must if you go to Athens!

Classical Athens Segway Tour

Rosalba_J, Aug 2026

Ancient Athens on modern transportation!

Everything about the experience was great! Easy check in. Prompt Segway training. And we were off to enjoy some of the most amazing sights of Ancient Athens with Vanna, the best tour guide! She gave us great info, took pics for us, made sure we were hydrated (and gelato-died) and even helped us work out dinner reservations. We will be taking the Modern Athens Segway tour with her also because we enjoyed it so much!
