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.

Athens Full Day Private Tour

Rick_G, Oct 2026

Great way to tour Athens!

Great private tour with very detailed information by tour guide Dem! The one-on-one interaction with a private car is the only way to go! Dem did a great job of describing each of the sites and was obviously very well versed in Greece's history. His lunch recommendation was spot on and right across the street from the Acropolis Museum. We would highly recommend this tour.

Greek Food Walking Tour in Athens

Tracey_W, Oct 2026

Excellent food tour

This was the best food walking tour we have ever been on. Our guide Adel was informative and amusing keeping us interested throughout the 3.5 hour tour. The food was diverse and plentiful - pay attention to the request not to eat for three hours before the tour starts - we ended up taking our last meal home.

Petros was a terrific guide for the Acropolis Walking Tour and the Acropolis Museum. He was knowledgeable, funny, had plenty of stories to include, took great photos and made the tour fun. The group of people we were with were also interesting and fun.

Our guide was very informative, but it didn't feel like we were on a school field trip...if you know what I mean. She shared her knowledge to help us appreciate the things we were seeing and visiting. It was not overpowering though. She even brought along historical depictions of what we were looking at in its original splendor to better help us appreciate what we were seeing. Great pace. I would have been disappointed to visit this sight without a guide like we had. 5 stars!!

Don’t waste your time and money. Pay for a guide it makes all the difference. We had Elizabeth who was amazing. She made everything interesting. I was worried it would be boring looking at old rocks, but she made them come alive. The tour of the museum was over the top. A guide in the museum may be even more beneficial. Thank you

Stephen_F, Oct 2026

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

One additional day before cruise.

Prompt service, good communication, very informative. Our guide, Stathsis, was pleasant and very knowledgeable. The tour was all we could have asked for in the limited time we had in Athens. The number of stops on the 1/2 day tour means limited time at important locations. Future travelers might plan for additional time in the Agoras and Parthenon.

We went on the sunset tour to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, and it was the perfect way to end our trip to Greece! We enjoyed relaxing on the beach with some drinks before watching the sunset at the Temple. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the site, and we appreciated being able to walk around ourselves at the site.

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 🫶🏼

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.
