What are people saying about Athens

Best of Athens Half Day Private Tour

Val_K, Sep 2026

More laid back

This was a more laid back tour. We drove to the popular sites, then walked over to them to get pictures. So if you are older or can't do alot of walking all at once this would be good for you. If you like to walk alot, not so much. Sergio was great! He got us all the good spots. We went to the changing of the guards and he took us to the side instead up the front. It had alot of shade and we got there before the crowd so we had a spot up front. The little restaurant The Odores grill center had delicious food. The menu they picked out for us to eat was all delicious and the pastitsio was yummy and now my favorite.

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

Janice_S, Sep 2026

Excellent

It’s was a long day but we had a wonderful guide and enjoyed the experience immensely. We had the tour with lunch and the restaurant did a great job of providing a quick and efficient lunch. Lunch was a little later than we normally eat in North America. Lunch was as well 330 pm and I recommend planning accordingly. The tour included a stop on the way to and a stop on the way from Delphi. The bus was comfortable and our guide was very informative.

Greek Food Walking Tour in Athens

Julie_G, Sep 2026

Fantastic experience

Peggy was a super guide. What a great afternoon. She took us to authentic Greek family run restaurants where food was plentiful, fresh and delicious. Peggy made each stop fun with interesting anecdotes about the origin of food and its place in green culture.

Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon and Acropolis Museum Guided Tour

Heather_W, Sep 2026

Ancient admiration

Be prepared for crowds! Even with the first entrance and timed tickets, there were so many people. You will also have to climb uphill over uneven paths. And yet: this is spectacular and should not be missed! Also, a big thank you to our guide, Vasili! Great commentary, great time management!

Athens All Included: Acropolis and Museum Guided Tour with Ticket

Robert_B, Sep 2026

Definitely an experience for your bucket list

I normally don't do guided tours but it is definitely a good idea to have a guide to go around the museum and the Acropolis. Even if you already know some things about classical group history there's a lot to miss in the signs just don't give a lot of information or context. As for the tour itself, our guide Petros did a great job keeping everybody together given how crowded it was, and was very knowledgeable. And overall, a very enjoyable guy. Personally, I would have liked a little bit more detail. But I understand that it's in depth enough for the majority of the people.

All Day Cruise -3 Islands to Agistri,Moni, Aegina with lunch and drinks included

LAURA_P, Sep 2026

We had such a wonderful...

We had such a wonderful day on the 3 Islands Cruise to Agistri, Moni and Aegina! From start to finish, the whole experience was relaxing, fun and beautifully organised. The islands were absolutely stunning, the crystal-clear water was incredible, and there was plenty of time to enjoy each stop. The crew were friendly, welcoming and made sure everyone had a great time. The food and drinks were lovely, and the atmosphere on board was fantastic. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Athens. 🇬🇷☀️🩵⛵️

Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon Half-Day Small-Group Tour from Athens

Mark_B, Sep 2026

Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon

I had a very good time with this tour, and highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The sights were absolutely phenomenal, and the climb was not too bad to make. There were plenty of spots and angles to take as many photos as you want, to reflect as many view points as possible.

Acropolis monuments & Parthenon Walking Tour with Optional Acropolis Museum

Joshua_P, Sep 2026

Fantastic experience once past check-in!

The check-in process was a little disorganized as to which line to get into and was a little chaotic. But once we were past the initial check-in process, everything went smoothly. The tour was fantastic. Our guide Yannis (aka John) was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions and also made sure that he found as many shaded spots as possible as we walked up the Acropolis and also stopped for us to take water breaks and refill our water bottles. Navigating the heat and crowds can be tough, but our guide made the entire experience comfortable, engaging, and stress-free. Highly recommended!

Athens Full Day Private Tour

A Perfect Private Athens Tour with Dem — Rich History, Great Pace, Wonderful Guide

We just completed our eight-hour private tour of Athens, and our driver Dem made the whole day unforgettable. With a background in architecture, he offered rich, knowledgeable commentary on the buildings and sites we passed — turning the trip into more than just sightseeing, but a genuine lesson in architectural and cultural history. Dem was incredibly thoughtful throughout — attentive to our pace, our breaks, and anything we needed, which made the whole day feel relaxed and comfortable. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and everything ran smoothly and on time. Highly recommend this private tour, and especially recommend requesting Dem as your driver — he was the highlight of our trip to Athens!

Make your visit to Greece extra special

We were on the boat Martika. It was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the swim amazing and the visits to the islands unforgettable. Above all the staff members were friendly, professional and very helpful. They served us with great hospitality.

Athens: Meteora Monasteries Tour, Caves, Beachfront Stops & Lunch

Cindi_D, Sep 2026

Easy way to see Meteora

This was a great option to see the monasteries of Meteora. The bus was comfortable and pickup/drop off was handled seamlessly. The lunch and dinner stop was excellent! They efficiently run it like a machine getting your food out to you quickly. And the stops really helped break up the long ride. My only complaint is not all the USB ports on my bus were working, so my phone battery ran lower than I was comfortable with.

Athens Day Cruise: 3 Islands Tour in the Saronic Gulf with Lunch

Nicola_C, Aug 2026

5 Star Boat Trip

The whole trip was excellent. From the moment we were picked up to the moment we got back to our hotel everything was taken care of. The staff communication was excellent and it was a very relaxed day at sea. Food and snacks were plentiful and extremely good. Any minor points that previous reviews have raised weren’t an issue on our trip. Get yourself booked on this trip.
