Stephanie_E, May 2026

The Perfect 4 Hour Tour of Athens

Vitilis (Billy) could not have been better. He communicated promptly, pick up and drop off were seamless. He knows Athens very well is proud of his heritage and his country. He really listened to our requests and planned the absolute perfect day for us. We got to spend exactly the right amount of time at each venue/site. He’s funny, personable and knowledgeable. Give him a raise, he deserves it!

Biblical Tour Letters ToThe Corinthians St Paul’s Footsteps 6Hour

Mark_H, May 2026

Wonderful Apostle Paul Experience

This tour exceeded our expectations and gave us a rich, meaningful understanding of Paul’s time in Athens and Corinth. The stories and context brought his journeys to life in a way that was both engaging and insightful. Aris is truly an outstanding guide—his passion, depth of knowledge, and enthusiasm made all the difference. While the tour is listed as six hours, it’s well worth setting aside extra time. Aris was incredibly accommodating, even adding a few additional stops we requested, which made the experience even more special. Thank you, Aris, for an unforgettable tour and for making our visit to Athens so memorable.

Athens City Tour with Acropolis & Plaka from Piraeus Cruise Port

Dennis_J, May 2026

Highly Recommend This Tour

So well organized. Our tour guide was George and he was amazing. Took time to explain everything, gave people a chance to ask questions. After the tour we wanted to stay in Plaka and he said we could stay and even said if we needed help getting back to the ship to text him and he would help us get transportation back. Highly recommend!

Great family day!

Bill was very knowledgable and provided a comfortable ride, including water. He stopped at several locations to take pictures of spectacular views! I would suggest getting tickets to Acropolis slopes and not necessarily the other paid ticket options. We were able to see all that we wanted to with that one ticket. I would also highly recommend going to the top of the hill that has the small church as we were able to see the most spectacular views of the entire city of Athens. This was part of our Tour.

Athens Full Day Private Tour with pick up

Connie_T, Apr 2026

Trip

Our driver Dennis was amazing. All our sites were good. We came in April and it was busy but not as crowded as it can be in later in year. Everything is great. But be aware that the restaurant would not give us each our check. We had 9 of us and one of us (me) paid whole bill and other people has to just send me money. It was not easy to do that. We asked them to break the bill up and they said no. Also brought us more appetizers than we asked for (did charge us for them) . But the food was good.

Athens: Guided Tour of Acropolis and Parthenon Tickets Included

Ann_B, Apr 2026

Knowledgeable guide and easy pace.

An easy paced tour of the Acropolis with a knowledgeable guide. We took the 10.00am trip, in April. There were no queues to get in, but by the time we left at 11.30 we could see that the line to get in was already long - so best to do an early trip. Quite expensive compared to a self-guided trip.

Athens Greece Full Day private tour

Patricia_F, Mar 2026

Wonderful day in Athens

Wear good walking shoes. It is a strenuous climb to the acropolis and my husband and I only made it halfway while our adult kids went all the way up. This tour lets you move at your own pace but there is a lot to see. Michael our driver was great and gave us an amazing overview of Athens. He took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch where we enjoyed authentic Greek dishes. There were 7 in our group and we all enjoyed this tour. We can't say enough about what a great guide Michael was. It was so much fun!

Lake Vouliagmeni Thermal Spa And Temple Of Poseidon Tour

Camila_P, Feb 2026

Lovely swim and views

We really enjoyed Lake Vouliagmeni. The weather was a bit chilly due to a storm from Africa, so the water was 19°C, but we still swam and enjoyed the experience. Our driver then took us to a lovely traditional restaurant by the coast with great food. After that, we visited the Temple of Poseidon, which was beautiful with amazing views. The driver was kind and helpful, though he didn’t provide much information, so it was more like having a driver than a guided tour.

Fantastic experience

We had a perfect tour of Athens. It only really scratched the surface of this amazing city, there is so much to see, but for a one day tour it was ideal - good combination of driving, walking around and free time without overheating or overdoing it. Álex is a treasure!!! Arrangements wit pick up and drop off directly at our ship were very convenient. All in all good organization and execution - well done!
