What are people saying about Athens

Margaret_C, Jun 2026

An amazing Tour

This was a very long trip but the drive to Delphi was wonderful, alot of historical sights to see along the way which our guide made sure to point out. Delphi was breath taking. The climb up to the temple of Apollo, ancient theater and other sights is a must see. Only downside was that the museum tour felt slightly rushed and we didn't get alot of time to view all the exhibits. The four course meal afterwards was delious.

Acropolis and Acropolis Museum with Eva

Eva was absolutely fantastic and one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. Her knowledge of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum was incredible, but what really stood out was how much she genuinely loves what she does. She guides these tours every day, and her passion for the history, culture, and stories behind everything truly shines through. Beyond the history itself, Eva knew all the best photo spots, the smartest routes to take, which stairways were worth using, and which areas to skip to maximize time and energy. She expertly managed the pace of the tour and helped take full advantage of the 8:00 AM entry slot to experience the sites before the larger crowds arrived. She was also wonderful to chat with and shared great recommendations about local food and Athens in general, which made the experience feel even more personal. When I return to Athens and book another tour, I would specifically request Eva without hesitation. She is truly the best of the best, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Lovely day in Athens

Our family of five had an incredible experience with our tour guide, Ste. He was well educated about the sites that he showed us. Taking a tour of Athens by electric bike allowed us to get around easily. Ste also made recommendations on restaurants that did not disappoint.

Customer service goes a long way!!!

Unfortunately, we did not make it to the tour. It was completely our fault because we went to the wrong location. The reason I am giving this a 5 star is due to the customer service we received when we contacted the tour company and realized we were in the wrong location. They did everything they could to ensure our entry tickets were available for us to enter on our own and meet up with the group. We were too far behind and never found them but we appreciate that they made our entry tickets available. They were very kind and resourceful all the way through. I highly recommend this company.

Olivia_G, Jun 2026

Great tour of Acropolis!

Had a great tour with Magna :) wanted a walking guide at the acropolis before our flight & it was perfect and about 2 hours. She was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged. Otherwise we would’ve been walking around years of history without knowing. We skipped the museum section since we had to leave for flight and we still felt like it was enough. Saw everything and kept us at a pace that everyone could keep up.

Fun in Athens 🚴‍♀️

Our e-bike tour was guided by Alex on a hot Athens day. He was fabulous, providing great information and some laughs, was very welcoming and offered his assistance with anything we needed. The best part was we missed the start of the tour due to the city centre being closed for an event, I communicated this and once we arrived we were taken to meet with the group so we didn’t miss out! We were so grateful!!

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!
