Top Athens Bus Tours - page 3

We had a great time touring the Acropolis and Athens city center—it was a perfect mix of history, amazing views, and exploring the city. Peggy and Vivi were fantastic guides, super friendly and knowledgeable, and they made the whole experience really fun and easy to enjoy.

This tour was our highlight of Athens. The tour guide always makes the difference and our guide was Aphrodite. She was so personable and knowledgeable. We had plenty of time for viewing and she kept us moving. I don't feel like we missed anything. This was a wonderful and memorable experience thanks to Aphrodite.

Perfectly paced tour providing ample time to visit Delphi and Arachova with lunch included along the way. The driver was excellent in explaining the historical significance of the respective sites and was on hand to answer any questions raised. Fully recommend the tour to anyone thinking of doing the same. A+++++

We had an absolutely fantastic bike tour in Athens with Sterios — truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, Sterios was friendly, respectful, and genuinely funny, and we clicked with him instantly. He has an impressive depth of knowledge about Athens and its sights, but what really stood out was how naturally he shared it — engaging, relaxed, and never overwhelming. As our first tour guide in Athens, he honestly set the bar very high. It had rained the night before, and Sterios thoughtfully adjusted the route to avoid muddy or slippery paths, which we really appreciated. That kind of situational awareness and care made us feel completely comfortable and well looked after throughout the tour. He also took the time to recommend excellent bars and restaurants around the city. We didn’t manage to try all of them during our stay, but the ones we did visit were spot on — fantastic recommendations that we’re still talking about. This was our first “touristy” bike ride, and we loved it far more than we expected. The time flew by without us even noticing, and we still think back on how much fun we had. Sterios truly elevated the entire experience and made it memorable in the best possible way. Highly, highly recommended.

We had a fantastic trip to Delphi and Arachova on 27 October with our very knowledgeable and informative guide (Dimitrios of Keytours). He brought the stories, the historic remains of Delphi and museum exhibits alive. He went out of his way to look after guests on the tour. Thanks also to our excellent driver Stelios. This is a fairly long day-trip, with quite a lot of driving from Athens, so the actual time in Delphi is slightly limited but we saw all we wanted to see. There are options of lunch at a restaurant in Arachova (which we didn’t take on this occasion, to allow for more sight-seeing) plus a short stop at a preferred partner shop before leaving Arachova on the way home. Overall, the trip was well-organised, ran to schedule, included all elements as-advertised and we had a memorable time. So much so, that my family booked a second tour (to Mycenae, Nafplio and Epidaurus) the following day with the same operator and guide! (Which unfortunately was full so I couldn’t get on it myself but they had an equally enjoyable experience!).

We are so glad that we booked this tour, especially the early start. Our guide Niamb was fantastic with a wealth of experience and knowledge. The early start meant we were cool enough and beat some of the crowds. We booked the museum ticket at the same time which was invaluable. Took my 77 year old mum who managed it well. Would highly recommend.

I ate breakfast before the 9:30 tour- big mistake!! I couldn’t enjoy all the food they gave us, which included large sesame pretzel type thing, charcuterie with three kinds of homemade sliced meat, feta cheese and a delicious cheddar type cheese, wine and raki, fresh grapes (the best ever- so sweet and fresh they popped when you bit them, a beef sandwich called a slovakia or something like that, and lastly a fried dough covered with honey and cinnamon. We had to walk to each place, so went through many different neighborhoods. Besides these two places, we went to a honey and olive oil tasting and a tasting for Greek liqueurs. In the honey and olive oil place, I bought some honey/based creams. Our guide Micki (Nicki?) spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable and nice. Our group of 8 got along very well. Lots of exercise and good food! It exceeded my expectations

This experience is like three tours in one! We had a fantastic day with a very knowledgable guide. The first part was a walking tour through the city, then we met up with more people before heading up to the hill to the ruins and ended our day with a tour of the Acropolis museum (which was only the two of us with our guide). I highly recommend going to the museum to get a better understanding of what you see at the ruins site. Tina walked us through the museum and did an excellent job of making the connections between what we had just seen throughout the ruins and the museum exhibits. We greatly appreciated that we were not rushed and that our guide spent extra time with us to make sure we saw everything. Tina's pride in her country, as well as, her love of history and mythology was evident throughout the entire day.
