What are people saying about Athens

Jessica_S, Jun 2026

Perfect way to see Athens

This was a wonderful experience. The bikes were in great condition. The tour was lovely and went all around the Acropolis so we saw some pretty amazing sites. Neek, our guide, was funny, informative, and just an all around nice guy. The tour took approximately 2.5 hours and we had plenty of stops to get off the bikes and walk around too. He even timed the tour so we were able to see the changing of the guard up close and personal. We felt safe riding through the city. Highly recommend, especially if you are only in the city for a short time.

The best food tour ever

This tour made me consider moving to Athens. The spread of food is amazing and paced out. It was accommodating to my dietary restrictions. I felt I tried so much stuff and learned so much history. Mike was an amazing guide. I’d do this tour again and again and again.

Great tour!

My husband and I were in Athens for our honeymoon and we booked the first morning tour in the Acropolis. Our tour guide was Nicky and she was great! She was funny, gave us time to take photos, gave us a lot of information and stories and was overall just a great guide! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens. We saw everything in the Acropolis and then some!

Acropolis of Athens and Acropolis Museum Tour

Shannon_B, Jun 2026

Perfect way to visit Acropolis

Our tour guide was Magdalini (Magda) and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We went early to avoid the heat. Magda told us stories along the way up and found shade for us which was appreciated because it gets quite hot. She was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions asked. We had some free time on top to take our own pics. The second half was the tour of the museum- I highly recommend someone do the tour with the museum because Magda’s explanation and stories of the artifacts in the museum brought the Acropolis to life. We took the tour that bought our tickets to Acropolis and Museum before hand. I highly recommend so you don’t have to deal with that issue. I highly recommend the tour. Note: our tour lasted 5 hours because of crowd at Acropolis. That was perfect for us because we didn’t have any plans afterwards but just note that crowded days may mean a longer tour.

Athens at Night Small-Group Walking Tour with Dinner

Excellent small group walking tour with fabulous dinner

Excellent small group walking tour of central Athens that includes numerous key historical sites. Our guide, Sevi, was very knowledgeable, friendly and had excellent English. Dinner was very enjoyable and we would return for a meal if we had time. It is a lot of walking (especially if you have already done a lot of walking in Athens the same day) - wear good shoes!

Athens Scenic Electric Bike Tour with optional Acropolis visit

Sally_S, May 2026

The best experience. The highlight of our trip to Athens!

This was a fantastic experience and we enjoyed every minute. I didn’t want it to end. The guides were so friendly, knowledgable and funny. The bikes were superb and easy to use. It was the first time we had used electric bikes. It was much easier than I anticipated. We saw all the best parts of Athens which I don’t think we would have discovered or had time to explore without the guides. It was also nice to meet other travellers from all over the world.

Good experience! Tour...

Good experience! Tour guide was nice and efficient, we stopped multiple times on the way up to the Parthenon so the walk wasn’t strenuous. with the small group we were with, we were able to stop in the shade and stay away from the sun multiple times on the walk up. Overall it was a good experience if you missed the tickets online, and want some additional information about the Parthenon you would not find anywhere else but this superb tour

Delicious and Educational Walking Tour

This tour exceeded expectations. Our guide, Nicholas, was absolutely phenomenal. We learned so much from him and the places we stopped to eat had delicious food. We did not return to our hotel hungry, there was plenty to eat. It was a small group and we were fortunate to have toured with an awesome bunch of people, which made the experience that much better. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. We just did the tour today and I felt I needed to review it immediately, it was that great. This was a memorable one for sure.

Delphi Experience With Tickets, Official Guide and Hotel pick up

Pat_M, May 2026

Delphi Secrets

You receive a brief overview of Arhens as you leave the city. You will have a short stop going up to Delphi. Once at Delphi there is a climb to where the Oracle met. You did not have to climb up to the stadium that was optional. The tour fascinating. The museum had an extraordinary bull in silver and a beautiful charioteer statute. Lunch was a feast with several courses. The ride back had a brief stop to take pictures of the nearby town and a very short stop for a rest break before you head back to the traffic of Athens. It was an enjoyable excursion, but bring your water if it is hot.

Athens: Acropolis & Parthenon Guided Tour with Optional Museum

Victor_M, Mar 2026

We had an incredible...

We had an incredible experience on our Athens walking tour with an archaeologist—our guide, Peter, was truly outstanding. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Having someone with such deep knowledge and passion for history made everything come to life in a way that no guidebook ever could. Peter explained the historical context, myths, and significance of each site with clarity and enthusiasm, making it engaging for both adults and kids in our group. We especially appreciated how he connected ancient history to what we were seeing in front of us, helping us better understand the importance of each landmark. The pace of the tour was perfect, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take in the surroundings without feeling rushed. Peter was also very friendly, patient, and attentive to our group’s needs. If you’re visiting Athens, we highly recommend booking a walking tour with an archaeologist—having a guide like Peter adds so much depth and meaning to the experience and makes the history unforgettable!
