What are people saying about Athens

Joel_O, Oct 2026

Outstanding tour of Athens!

We had an absolutely wonderful half day tour of Athens with an outstanding guide named Loukis. He was extremely knowledgeable, timely, courteous and an excellent teacher! His English was perfect and he answered all of many questions and also provided guidance for a future trip to the Greek Islands. I would highly recommend him and this tour!

Meteora Day Trip with Sunset, Caves, Beachfront Stop & Lunch

Lisa_S, Oct 2026

Amazing Experience

Amazing Experience and worth the climb. The 1st monastery, St Nikolaos, was the hardest climb. The 2nd, Varlaam Monastery was easier, larger and more beautiful than the 1st. Holy Trinity was the last and smallest. The photo stops were well planned and breathtaking, with locations used in Game of Thrones and 007 For Your Eyes Only. Don’t be last in line for lunch. The guide was locally raised and well educated in the local history. A tour not to be missed.

We would highly recommend Anastasia and this tour as a great way to learn about Athens.

John_D, Oct 2026

Beyond our expectations - Well paced walk up the Acropolis!

We had an excellent guide to walk to the top of the Acropolis. She was very knowledgeable and communicated clearly and with some humor. As she promised, she took nicely spaced out breaks on the way to the top, taking advantage of shade and empty spaces to gather our group. We are two mature seniors and appreciated her attention to where everyone was in the group and the thoughtful pace she maintained for everyone. It was truly a wonderful experience.

Great way to really see the heart of Athens

Our tour guide, Andreas, was exceptional. He obviously loved his home town of Athens, and he presents it with energy and pride. His knowledge of the history behind what we saw was very helpful. What made the tour great was his willingness to adjust the tour to meet what we wanted to see in Athens. Not only did we get to see all the key attractions, but he took us to areas we didn’t even know about. These were places he thought we would enjoy based on what we said we were interested in. As an example, we asked to go to a Greek bakery for a desert after lunch. Andreas brought us to a great local bakery and we had a fantastic desert. Overall, a great experience.

Awesome day of exploring

We had a wonderful day!! Tolis was our driver. He was waiting for us at the port which we pre-arranged. We had a group of 8. The transportation was so comfortable. Tolis was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, answering our questions. He was gentle to ensure our safety and flexible when we chose to not do the museum at the end of our tour offering to take us to the market instead. Thank you Tolis! We would absolutely recommend this tour and Tolis. Thanks

Great Acropolis and Museum Tour

John the Archeologist was such a fantastic tour guide. We learned so much about the Acropolis. He leads a great tour. It’s tiring to hike up to the top, but John took many stops along the way where we could sit and he taught us. Wear hiking shoes or good gym shoes. Hat and water are a must.

Informative tour of the Acropolis

Costas was a remarkable guide with so much information to share. The climb to the Acropolis is steep and you have to watch your feet - Costas would stop occasionally to tell us all about what we were looking at and give us some historical background., while allowing us to catch our breath. His commentary in the Acropolis Museum taught us even more about the history of Greece.

Nice four-hour day trip from Athens.

Well run tour, from pickup to very efficient dropoffs. Roy was a very knowledgeable and personable guide. The drive itself was scenic and informative. I liked the stop at Lake Vouliagmeni. The temple of Poseidon was interesting and a nice vantage spot for a sunset. There was a small restaurant and restrooms there, and a small hill for different vantage point.

Gorgeous experience and great crew. Everyone was so friendly, relaxed, and on top of every task to ensure everyone had a great time.

They also had fantastic tracks on the boat, but with quieter spaces to suit every traveler. Highly recommend the experience, it was the highlight of our trip 🫶🏼
