What are people saying about Athens

Janice_C, Oct 2026

Best Food Tour Ever

My goodness this was a incredible tour. We had so many varieties of Greek Food and all the food was so delicious. Peter our guide took time to tell us what each food item was, how it was prepared if it was locally grown. He took us to so many establishments that we had to take our last item home as we could not take another bite. When I come back in the summer I hope to have Peter be our guide as he was 5 Star

Acropolis and Parthenon Guided Walking Tour

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.

Athens Tour

Sebastian was our tour guide, and he was fantastic! He educated us on Greek history, and spoke English to our group, as he drove our partyof six in a comfortable Mercedes vehicle. He had it filled with water, and was prepared with providing umbrellas as we exited the vehicle to walk around the major sites, due to the rain in the beginning part of the tour. After we toured the Acropolis, he took us to Theadore’s for a traditional Greek lunch. Christo, our server, was very attentive to our needs. The food was delicious and plentiful and we returned to our hotel quite full! We highly recommend this tour as it checked every box on our agenda! THANK YOU for this memorable 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

I received a warning the day before my much anticipated tour that it was not suitable for those with mobility issues. I fully expected to sit out the tour and join the group at the Museum at the end. The guide made it so interesting I kept persisting and with his help and that of a number of group members reaching out their hands and arms I had a great trip. Many thanks to all for the compassion involved.

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.

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. Food was extraordinary and with lots of gluten free & dairy free options. Make sure to tell the crew about your allergies, they made special sandwiches for us as part of the morning snack. 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 🫶🏼

Well organised trip, and stunning scenery

Well organised trip. Multiple buses - but each driver had a list of names for his bus, so it wasn't hard to find our bus. There were 50 or so on our bus though - not the maximum 18 or so that the booking confirmation mentioned! Amazing scenery though, and very well organised. The meal stops were good, and very slick ordering ahead online for the dinner stop in the evening. There's a supermarket just round the corner behind the restaurant, so we got snacks there too - lot cheaper. 3 monateries were great

An Unforgettable Acropolis & Parthenon Experience

Our tour guide, Frosso, was incredibly helpful and exceptionally knowledgeable about the rich history of the Acropolis and Parthenon. Her deep understanding of the ancient ruins brought the site to life and made the experience both educational and engaging. We learned so much and truly appreciated her passion for sharing Greece’s history. It was a fantastic tour, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Athens! Oct was a great month to visit too.
