Beat the Heat!

This tour was worth every dollar to beat the heat and the crowd. We were one of the first 30 people into the Acropolis which allowed us to get a picture with no other people in the background. Our tour guide, Evie, did a great job explaining the background of the sights. This 2 hour tour was perfect to hit the highlights.

An Exceptional Guide to Delphi!

Our tour to the Temple of Apollo in Delphi was absolutely incredible, all thanks to our fantastic guide, Xenia. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, weaving history and Greek mythology together in a way that truly made the ancient ruins come alive. Beyond her impressive depth of expertise, Xenia was incredibly helpful, attentive, and welcoming throughout the entire day, ensuring everyone had a seamless and memorable experience. If you are planning a trip to Delphi, we highly recommend booking with Xenia—she is an absolute gem and made our visit unforgettable!

Athens Acropolis and Parthenon Walking Tour

Amazing!

Our guide, Dionysys, was awesome, informative and worked to make our experience as positive as possible. It was super hot, so he tried to keep us in the shade. He was extremely knowledgable and took a couple group photos for us. He had great energy and fit with the personality of our group.

Acropolis, Parthenon and Ancient Agora Guided Tour with entrances

Ray_F, Jul 2026

It was a long walk back....

It was a long walk back. We were unaware we had to figure out how to get back from the Agora on our own. Our guide was very knowledgeable and could answer any question. We give her an A+++ rating. The wind and her lanyard would cause static in the microphone sometimes. She was quick to fix it when alerted to the static. The cold water we took was a lifesaver. We each had 32 ounces of ice water and could have used more. We went early and the crowds were manageable. After 4 1/2 hrs of walking and climbing, it would have been nice to have a small bus take us back to the starting point. Make this clear in the description.

Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis

E-Bike Tour with Optional Acropolis

This experience was AMAZING! Our group of six (ages between 22 and 60) had a wonderful time with Stephanie! The e-bike tour was so much fun and we saw so much of Athens that we would have otherwise missed. We then had our tour of the Acropolis with Demos who was equally engaging. The hike up the mountain is not easy, but Demos did a wonderful job of moving us up the hill with short walks and stops under shaded areas where we learned all about the rich history of Athens and the Acropolis! Both experiences are AMAZING!

Beautiful and Unique Experience!

We had a fantastic time on this day trip! The monasteries are amazing and beautiful. Our guide, Vasili, was well informed, funny and delightful. Very unique experience! I would recommend to anyone who has an extra day in Athens. We debated going to another site of ruins versus visiting Meteora and we are very satisfied with our decision to make this trip.

Athens Evening Food Tour

Cynthia_T, Jun 2026

10 out of 10

My husband and I landed late on our flight from the States. We threw our luggage in the room and joined the group late. Our host, Zefi, made sure that we were welcomed as soon as we arrived and ensured we got to try what we had missed. She even got a to-go bag for us. This was my husband's favorite thing we did during the two weeks we were in Greece. The places that she took us were so good, and throughout our trip to Greece, we could never top the spinach pie we had while we were there. 10 out of 10 would recommend taking this particular food tour and requesting Zefi as your tour guide. We love her, the food, the group and the experience.

Athens Street Food Walk

Kaye_D, Jun 2026

Great exposure to traditional Greek foods

Great way to taste many of the traditional Greek foods and learn about food history. I wish we had done this tour early in our visit because it made understanding the food culture much better for the rest of our trip. The guide was great to talk with as we walked through the beautiful streets of Athens.

Acropolis of Athens and Acropolis Museum Tour

Courtney_C, Jun 2026

Acropolis is great, museum is even better!

Magda was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. She was knowledgeable about every question our group asked. Her English was excellent, and she even made sure we always had comfortable, shady areas to gather to and from the top of the Acropolis. Having the museum included was definitely a great decision! Totally worth every penny.
