What are people saying about Athens

Jennifer_G, Aug 2026

Living history with a view

We had the most wonderful tour with the most kind and knowledgeable guide, Manos. He tailored the trip to our needs and gave us a fascinating Greek history lesson as we saw the sights. We asked if there were any tours of the shore line or port area, perhaps the Riviera section, but there are not any at this time. We Hope you'll add some of those in future options. It would surely be something we'd have enjoyed, even as an optional add on to the existing tour.

Acropolis and Acropolis museum tour.

Maria was a phenomenal Acropolis and Acropolis museum tour guide. She skilfully brought history to life. The driver, Petrie was very good too! The whole thing was seamless and perfectly executed. They purchased the Acropolis tickets for us and we were one of the first ones on site so avoided the majority of the crowds. This tour was exceptionally excellent. The Acropolis museum is not to be missed - one of the best museums in the world. If you do one thing in Athens, then please make it this! You will not regret it!

We had a tremendous trip with Theo. Such great information and a unique experience. We are glad we chose to do this and get a little away from the city and try something unique. Theo’s knowledge and willingness to share was incredible. He took great care of us and got us great food, too! Excellent experience!!

Our tour guide was very...

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history and sites. I wish we had more time at the big sites like Acropolis and Agora. At end the of the tour per the description we could choose the museum or a guided walk through a nice neighborhood, but the tour guide offered the museum or for us to return early. A bit disappointed on this.

Experience & a friend

This tour began well before I was picked up. The team were so helpful beforehand and even gave me the option to be picked up from my hotel (wasn't on the list) and helped me purchase tickets. The main event was my guide Menelaos. He was efficient, knowledgeable and made this solo adventurer feel like she was with her friend. This is one of the best tours I've done and we were able to fit so much in! Including a delicious lunch. Seeing such historical sites was one thing but getting the download from Menelaos made it feel more impactful instead of wandering with the crowds aimlessly. Highly recommend.

Outstanding tour!

Outstanding tour! Manos was wonderful as it was just the two of us on board. So grateful that he drove us up close and personal to the various sites including the steep hills. There is far too much walking if you do not do a tour like this to manage. We highly recommend seeing the various areas and sites across the city. We felt very safe and secure too!

Experience with just the right amount of Knowledge ! Lisa is the best !

Lisa was an absolutely wonderful guide for our Acropolis and Acropolis Museum tour. She was warm, kind, and incredibly patient, making the experience enjoyable for everyone in our group. She shared fascinating historical facts and stories at just the right pace—never overwhelming us with too much information, but highlighting the details that made the sites truly come alive. She was especially thoughtful with my mom, who walks slowly, making sure we never felt rushed and always keeping the group together. One of the things we appreciated most was that she took beautiful photos of our family throughout the tour without us even having to ask, allowing us to stay present and enjoy the experience. Lisa’s passion for Greek history was evident, and she answered every question with enthusiasm and knowledge. Thanks to her, our visit to the Acropolis and museum was memorable, educational, and one of the highlights of our trip to Athens. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, personable, and caring guide!

Panos was an excellent...

Panos was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgable about the history of Athens and was able to answer all of our other questions about Greece. Having lived his whole life in Athens, he showed us hidden gems we would have otherwise missed out on. His English was excellent and he was very easy to understand. Learning about each site before being dropped off and easily being able to go back to the car whenever we were ready was amazing. This private tour was a highlight of our trip and I definitely recommend!
