What are people saying about Athens

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

Karen_T, Apr 2026

Delphi

This tour from Athens to Delphi was a solid and worthwhile experience overall. The itinerary was well planned, with good pacing and enough time at each stop to take in the sites without feeling rushed. Delphi itself is as impressive as you’d expect—the history, the setting, and the views all make it a highlight of any trip to Greece. The stops along the way added to the experience, giving a nice sense of the surrounding area and breaking up the drive. Everything ran smoothly, and transportation was comfortable and organized. The tour guide was adequate—knowledgeable enough to provide helpful context and explanations, but not especially engaging or memorable. They covered the key information and answered questions when asked, though the delivery felt a bit routine at times. Overall, if you’re looking for a convenient and well-structured way to visit Delphi from Athens, this tour does the job. While the guide didn’t elevate the experience, the destination itself and the thoughtfully planned stops made it a day well spent.

Athens Full Day Private Tour

Leslee_A, Apr 2026

Great Day in Athens

Aristotle was very knowledgeable about all aspects life today and past in Athens. We got to see and hear about everything important. He took us to the marina for lunch, which was out of the way, and it was an amazing meal of fresh fish and Greek salad. He took us to the back side of the changing of the guards and we took a picture with one of them. We had a great day and learned so much. Thanks again Aristotle.

Lee_A, Apr 2026

Great information and tour

Wear good grip trainers - the ground can be slippery and some of it is quite hard going , although the guide was very aware of this and often cautioned us or found the easier routes We took the 8am and were so glad we did this is the best time in our opinion , less crowded. Our Athens walks guide was so informative we learnt such a lot - her knowledge was exceptional on history and architecture -better than just walking round on your own. We also took the museum tour - was totally worth it . A good value for money for 4 solid hours.

Best of Athens Half Day Private Tour

Don_G, Apr 2026

Best way to visit Athens in a day!

The best way to see all the Athens has to offer. Our guide Elton was amazing sharing so much knowledge about the history of Athens and even sprinkled in some off the way local spots that we wouldn't have thought of that made the day that much more special. Can't recommend the tour, and especially Elton enough.

Greek Food Walking Tour in Athens

Rick_G, Apr 2026

Excellent food tasting event.

A wonderful afternoon of fellowship, food, and information. Lots of tastes from coffee to entrees, vegetables, and deserts. We were satisfied in every aspect of the tour. I strongly recommend the afternoon tour. You will get a great "taste" of Greek food and won't need either lunch or supper.

Great tour guide and excellent knowledge

Our tour guide was really nice. I thought her pace was good and older people were complaining about the pace. They complained about everything, too windy, too many steps up and down. The tour guide gave excellent insight to the Greek culture and makes sure you have great spots to take pictures.

Wonderful Tour of Athens

Our guide Aris gave us the most amazing tour of Athens. He was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting. We learned so much about the history of Athens and the many civilizations. The tour was comprehensive and showed us everything we needed to see in Athens in a day. We especially enjoyed seeing the Acropolis and Aris was very helpful in being sure that we were able to access the elevator due to a recent surgery. It was a wonderful day and very grateful for such a great guide!

Kostos was an excellent...

Kostos was an excellent guide. He clearly loves what he does! His knowledge of Greek history helped us learn about the Acropolis and the process of restoring the buildings. He was fluent in English and had a wonderful sense of humor. It was a great experience, highly recommend the tour.

Athens: Meteora Monasteries, Caves & Coastal Stopovers with Lunch

Douglas_M, Apr 2026

Great experience

This tour was great. The tour guide provided a lot of great information about the area and the history of the Monasteries. He actually lives in that area and provided a unique and genuine perspective for the tour. Lunch was at a local restaurant and was excellent. Was a long day as it is 4 hours from Athens, but the scenery was well worth the time spent in the bus.

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

Angelina_M, Apr 2026

3 Island Cruise

Pack towels and bathing suits. Breakfast lunch and snack available. Lots of shopping opportunities. Pick up delicious pistachio products from Agaena or Pistachio Island. It's cold and windy on the trip back especially if you are going to sit outside. They have thin blankets so you may need extra things to stay warm. Have fun.

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

Michelle_R, Apr 2026

Beautiful Sunset Tour!

Cape Sounio was beautiful, especially at sunset! Our guide and driver were fantastic. The only issue we had was having to wait in line for tickets, which did not give us much time at the actual Temple of Poseidon. I wish we had the option to purchase tickets in advance to eliminate standing in line for 20 minutes.
