What are people saying about Athens

Lois_H, Jun 2026

Great Customized Tour!

Our tour guide and driver were great. Very knowledgeable about the history of ancient times in Athens and reasons behind the ruins and artifacts. Pauline was accommodating and customized the tour for the physical limitations of our group of 7. While the tour had lots of unavoidable walking and steps, our tour guide made it special and easier by allowing frequent rest breaks and made sure the sites we were touring fit our schedule and key objectives. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great way to see Athens!

Perfect day seeing the sights of Athens. Elias was a great guide and very knowledgeable. It was our first time to Athens and it was so helpful to have this overview of the city. We also got tickets to enter the Acropolis and slopes and got a good explanation of everything we were going to see by Elias before we went in. It’s also a great way to beat the heat and still see the highlights of Athens. Highly recommend!

Meteora Monasteries Private Full Day Trip From Athens

John_I, Jun 2026

Going to Meteora from...

Going to Meteora from Athens is a time commitment, but we would say it's well worth the journey. The monasteries focus on a period of Greek history -- the 14th c. on -- that gives visitors a look at something different from the ancient. Perched on high rocks cliffs, the monasteries are spirtual and otherworldly. Any photos you or anyone takes will be a completely inadequate representation of what you see with your own eyes. Yes, the drive there and back takes a long time, but the countryside reminded us a lot of Southern California and is pretty to look at.

Highly Recommend Panos!!

We had a great day with Panos!! He took us to the main sites first to beat the crowds, recommended a great lunch spot, and made several stops throughout the day sharing so much history. I requested a stop at a rooftop bar which was accommodated and he even made sure we were able to stop at a pastry shop for baklava at the end even though we were slightly over our allotted time. I would highly recommend this experience!!

Athens Greece Full Day private tour

Sarah_S, May 2026

A Day We Will Always Remember

My husband, daughter (10 years old), and I visited Athens during a Mediterranean cruise with a port stop from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. My husband is a philosophy professor and I am a former archaeology professor, we knew we wanted to make the most of our limited time and see as many historically significant sites as possible while in Athens. After extensive research, we chose this tour—and it exceeded every expectation. From the beginning, our driver, Anestis, provided excellent communication and was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. He was also a very safe driver, and his spacious, comfortable vehicle made it easy to enjoy a full day of exploring. Along the way, he shared fascinating insights, answered countless questions, and impressed us with his knowledge of multiple languages and cultures. His friendly personality and engaging conversation made the day even more enjoyable. We also hired a licensed guide, Helen, and she was absolutely amazing. Her depth of knowledge brought Athens to life, and she tailored the experience to our specific interests. We had some unusual requests, including visits to Plato’s "original" Academy and the site traditionally associated with Socrates’ Prison. Helen not only took us to these locations but also provided thoughtful explanations of the archaeological evidence, historical context, and current scholarly understanding. We especially appreciated learning about the archaeological finds in the area, including the discovery of hemlock cups and the discussion surrounding where Socrates may have spent his final days. One of the greatest advantages of this private tour was the flexibility. We were able to ask questions, spend time taking photos, and move at our own pace. Helen expertly guided us through the museums and sites, helping us understand and appreciate what we were seeing in a way that would not have been possible on our own, especially within such a limited timeframe. To top it all off, they recommended a wonderful restaurant where we enjoyed some of the best Greek food of our trip. This tour provided exactly what we were hoping for: an engaging, educational, and deeply memorable experience of Athens. We wholeheartedly recommend this company, as well as Helen and Anestis, to anyone visiting Athens, whether you're arriving by cruise ship or staying in the city. They helped make our day in Athens truly unforgettable.

Athens was Awesome!

We had an absolutely incredible experience on the Best of Athens Full Day Private Tour, and Panos made the entire day unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up, he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Athens with us. The tour was perfectly paced and covered all of the highlights we hoped to see, including the Acropolis, Parthenon, Ancient Agora, Panathenaic Stadium, and the beautiful neighborhoods throughout the city. Panos provided so much historical insight along the way while also making the experience fun, engaging, and personalized to our interests. What really stood out was his attention to detail and hospitality. He made everything seamless and stress-free, gave fantastic recommendations, and made sure we were comfortable the entire day. You can tell he truly cares about his guests having an amazing experience. If you are visiting Athens and considering this tour, do yourself a favor and request Panos. This was easily one of the best tours we have ever taken and a highlight of our trip to Greece. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tour with Phryne was exceptional

We met Phryne in front of the Acropolis museum and went directly inside. She had bought tickets to the museum and the Acropolis ahead of time to save time and hassle, which was very much appreciated! Phryne was extremely knowledgeable, with an advanced degree in archeology and classics, and was full of interesting information and observations. She was also very kind and accommodating to our needs and desires. In all, a fantastic tour with a fantastic guide!

Excellent tour

This was an absolutely fantastic tour! We saw all of the highlights and learned so much about the city. Our driver was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We had great conversation the entire time we were on the tour. He offered us water and snacks, which was such a nice gesture. Since we only had a limited amount of time, we are so happy that we were able to do this and see the city and take wonderful photos!

Petros…The Greek Guide

Petros was our guide for the walking tour. He was exceptional! Very knowledgeable and kept our group very engaged. He took his time to explain different areas of what we were seeing but also of the Greek culture. He took great photo ops and walked us through Plaka to teach us more history but also where was the local places to eat and shop. He was so helpful and even offered to help us with anything while we stayed in Greece! I would highly recommend Petros!!!

TukTuk Athens Private Evening / Afternoon Complete Tour - City Center & Old Town

maryKate_H, May 2026

Fun and informative.

The Tuk Tuk Tour of Athens was the perfect way to kick off our first day in the city. It struck such a great balance between fun and informative—we genuinely enjoyed every minute. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable, sharing just the right amount of history without it ever feeling overwhelming. What made it especially worthwhile was how efficiently we were able to see all the key sites around Athens while getting a real sense of the city’s layout and culture. Riding through the streets in the tuk tuk added a unique, lighthearted touch that made the experience feel more personal and memorable than a typical tour. I will say—it felt a bit like being on an amusement ride at times. The tuk tuk can move pretty fast over uneven roads, which added to the thrill for us, but it may not be the best fit for anyone who prefers a smoother ride or has back issues. Highly recommend this as a first-day activity—it gave us a great foundation for the rest of our trip and set the tone in the best way.

Interesting tour

It was amazing experience with our guide Panos. He provided us with background knowledge on the Acropolis . He was on time and explained in detailed what to expect on this tour. We never felt rushed and always asked if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Greece.
