What are people saying about Athens

Trish_P, May 2026

Athens in a Day

Great way to see Athens in a day. Nasos was an extremely knowledgeable driver & very personable. All our tickets were bought and we were dropped off and ready to go. He gave us recommended time to tour but was flexible if we needed longer. He was able to efficiently navigate Athens traffic and show us relevant sites along the way. We stopped at a great local place for lunch and to shop.

A Great Taste of Athens

This tour provides a delightful sampler of Athens. Dimitris is a wonderful guide--very friendly and knowledgable. He dropped us off for a visit to the Acropolis and then drove us to a variety of places all around the city. He took us to the perfect spot for the changing of the guards and explained the entire ceremony. We had several stops and many opportunities for great photos, expecially at Mount Lycabettus. We highly recommend this tour with Dimitris!

Fantastic tour

This was an excellent half day tour of Athens. My tour guide was very knowledgeable about Athens and gave good recommendations for places to eat and other things to do. I enjoyed seeing the Acropolis and Ancient Agora and several other sites. Athens is a beautiful city. I don't feel that I would have felt comfortable walking around on my own if I didn't do this tour. It was a great introduction to Greece.

Biblical Tour Letters ToThe Corinthians St Paul’s Footsteps

The Viator team over this tour were amazing. We had issue with flight and they were very accommodating which was not their obligation. Nikos was very knowledgeable on our tour. Some of the sights were beautiful, some were historic, others took your breath. I’m so thankful we got to experience “The steps of Paul.”

Cape Sounio, Temple of Poseidon, Athenian Riviera Private Tour from Athens

Ted_G, May 2026

Great Temple Tour

It is a long drive from Athens Plaka area. Our driver absolutely knew the area and shared insights and interesting information. We did make a couple of stops along the way for photos. I do not recommend for anyone with limited walking ability. The wheelchair ramp at the Temple of Poseidon only goes up about half way to the temple.

Great tour of the Acropolis Museum and Acropolis

We had a fascinating tour with Lisa as the guide for my husband and me. We started with the Museum which really helped us to understand the purpose and history behind the Acropolis. Lisa explained everything very clearly and was able to answer our questions without hesitation. We would highly recommend this tour and Lisa as a guide!

We learned a lot about...

We learned a lot about Athens and the gods of ancient Greece from our tour guide, Cosco. We also visited a lot, if not all, of the sites/ruins in the city. Cosco made the tour fun and exciting and he was knowledgeable of the the gods and the role they played in Ancient Greece, as well as the transformation of religious beliefs to Christianity. We loved the tour. Coscos treated us with respect, dignity, and kindness and helped me with my mobility issues throughout the tour. He was great.

This private tour was amazing. Our driver Anestis was very friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we saw all the main sites of Athens. It was great having a driver for quick pick ups and drop offs. The local family owed Greek Tavern was the perfect place for lunch- away the touristy areas! We only had a day in Athens and it was a great tour to do. Highly recommend

TukTuk Athens Private Evening / Afternoon Complete Tour - City Center & Old Town

Fun and informative.

The Tuk Tuk Tour of Athens was the perfect way to kick off our first day in the city. It struck such a great balance between fun and informative—we genuinely enjoyed every minute. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable, sharing just the right amount of history without it ever feeling overwhelming. What made it especially worthwhile was how efficiently we were able to see all the key sites around Athens while getting a real sense of the city’s layout and culture. Riding through the streets in the tuk tuk added a unique, lighthearted touch that made the experience feel more personal and memorable than a typical tour. I will say—it felt a bit like being on an amusement ride at times. The tuk tuk can move pretty fast over uneven roads, which added to the thrill for us, but it may not be the best fit for anyone who prefers a smoother ride or has back issues. Highly recommend this as a first-day activity—it gave us a great foundation for the rest of our trip and set the tone in the best way.

Delphi Full Day Private Tour from Athens

Cory_A, Apr 2026

Amazing Delphi Trip

Mike was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and kept us very entertained throughout the trip. We had plenty of time to see the ruins and museum without feeling too rushed. The lunch at the restaurant was beautiful with amazing food and the view was spectacular! Mike made sure we had a great table with windows overlooking the valley for after our visit from the museum and ruins. Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a more laid back experience without the big bus taking large groups around.
