What are people saying about Athens

Matthew_D, May 2026

Fantastic tour, I cannot recommend it strongly enough

This was one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had, and Rina is the reason why. Over nearly 5 packed hours, she delivered an overwhelming amount of history and mythology in the best possible way. She’s enthusiastic, welcoming, and visibly passionate about her subject in a way that elevates the entire experience. Despite the crowds, she handled a mid-sized group with ease, took questions constantly, and never lost her energy or focus. The mythology and history of each structure came alive in a way no guidebook could replicate. Five stars without hesitation.

Meteora Monasteries & Caves DayTrip from Athens with Greek Lunch

Michael_P, May 2026

Amazing!!

Irrespective if your personal religious beliefs, this is a really wonderful experience. The scenery is stunningly beautiful. Whilst the driver, George, negotiated the twisty hairpin bends in the road, our guide, Clement, brought the history and geology to life! Downside: from Athens it's an 8 hour coach trip (4 hours each way)

This is the ticket if your time in Athens is limited.

Great tour guide - he was friendly, informative, with a great depth of knowledge. He welcomed questions from the group. Mini bus seemed brand new. This tour was a great way to see Athens if you have limited time. I love that the Acropolis ticket was included.

Steven_L, May 2026

A Wonderful Trip to Meteora!

It’s a long day of traveling from Athens but it’s worth the trip. Katerina is a highly qualified guide and a local who knows the history of the area well. She has a degree in archeology plus advanced studies on the monasteries and caves in the area. She also has a great sense of humor and is fun to spend time with. Dimitris a a seasonal professional driver and navigated the area’s road challenges and traffic well!

Best of Athens Half-Day Private Tour

Erin_G, May 2026

The company was willing...

The company was willing to accommodate separately booked parties so everyone could stay together. Costas, our driver, was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout the entire experience. He took us to all of our locations and was back to pick us up almost as soon as we texted or called. Gave us great local spots to stop at and explore. For lunch, he also took us to one of his local favorite places to eat and it did not disappoint! Next time we are in Athens and need a guide he will definitely be who we ask for! Costas if you happen to read this I want to give you the biggest thank you from Erin, Camilla, Bob, Teresa, Gary and John. Thank you again!!

Ancient Athens tour: Acropolis, Parthenon and Acropolis Museum

Lloyd_T, May 2026

This was an amazing tour....

This was an amazing tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, blending the archaeology, history and culture and connecting it to modern Athens. He was very much a history student and scholar, which we greatly appreciated. When areas on the Acropolis where we were visiting were more crowded, the guide made certain to either pause or to adapt the plans to ensure that we could see everything. The second part of the tour was in the Acropolis Museum. The guide provided information and perspective on the exhibits that we would not have gotten if we had visited it on our own. He also selected exhibits that were particularly interesting and/or unique.

The Viator team over this tour were amazing. We had issue with flight and they were very accommodating which was not their obligation. Nikos was very knowledgeable on our tour. Some of the sights were beautiful, some were historic, others took your breath. I’m so thankful we got to experience “The steps of Paul.”

Very friendly and accommodating staff

The tour operators were extremely friendly and accommodating. My mother is prone to getting carsick, and the team immediately let me know they reserved the front seat of the bus for my mother to ensure she wouldn’t get sick during the 3 hr drive. If you have any questions, they respond quickly to your email. My parents loved the tour and the lunch.

Athens Electric Bike Tour

Caroline_B, Apr 2026

We had a great experience...

We had a great experience with the bike tour. We did not know Athens before and found ourselves in a wonderful experience throughout Athens City with our guide Nick. A Dutchman who fell in love with Athens. We saw the historical parts naturally, with a fantastic explanation, however we also learned a lot of other things about the city. It is a trip (more than) worth taking. Do not hesitate to book with WeBike Athens. Poli Efcharisto. From 🇧🇪

Ermes was friendly and courteous , plus very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommended this tour to anyone who visits tge Acropolis and the ancient Agora

Essential Athens Private Tour With Licensed Expert Archaeologist

Cathy_B, Oct 2025

Great way to see Athens and Sounion in a day

We had one full day to see all the important sites in Athens and this was the way to go! Andreas was professional, interesting, educated, and we got a real sense of day to day life in Athens, not to mention a good historical perspective. He drove safely in a beautiful comfortable car, stopped for lunch at a place he spent his youth near, and was prompt and responsive to any other questions or times we wanted to stop for a viewpoint. I misunderstood the quality and dollar amount "stipend" that lunch included, I would have tried more things on the menu. Also it appeared that this was a place that a bus tour could and did stop, and we would have appreciated and paid for something more private and upscale. Nevertheless, it was a great sunny day and wonderful way to see Athens. Good communication before the excursion also, which always helps. Would recommend!

Acropolis of Athens and Acropolis Museum Tour

Vickie_O, Oct 2025

Great tour even in the rain

We took the Acropolis tour and the museum tour with Maria. She was excellent and provided much information we would not have otherwise been exposed to. It rained during the entire tour, but they provided rain gear for all. The Acropolis is naturally very slippery due to the terrain ( hilly and lots of marble), but the rain made it more difficult. Maria was undaunted by the weather and maintained ongoing commentary. She was also very patient and took extra care to assure we were all okay. Great tour even in the rain!
