Erin_R, Jun 2026

First Time in Athens

Kostas was excellent! This was our first time to Athens and he made sure to accommodate our schedule so we were able to see the sites in which we were interested. He even recommended the best places to shop and eat lunch. We had an amazing time! Thank you!

Acropolis Skip The Line PRIVATE Tour with Licensed Expert Guide

Best Tour, and Tour Guide (Michael), EVER!!

This was the best tour EVER! One of the highlights of our week in Greece! We went to the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora. Our tour guide, Michael, was absolutely fantastic. Michael was incredibly knowledgeable-and hilarious!! As a history buff, I love learning the details, but I know history can feel dry for some people. Not with Michael! He brought the stories to life, kept us engaged the entire time, and had us laughing throughout the tour. We had so much fun getting to know him while learning about Greece’s rich history. I’ve been on several private tours throughout Europe, and this was by far my favorite-largely because of Michael. If you’re visiting Athens, do yourself a favor and book this tour with Michael. You won’t be disappointed!

Private van tour of all the Highlights of Athens

I booked a private van tour for 8 people and the company provided a very roomy, comfortable van with room for our luggage. The tour operator was extremely responsive to my requests. Our driver/guide Tolis was super fun, knowledgeable, adaptable and helpful in securing a dinner reservation for our group. We spent just the right amount of time at the Acropolis while the "drive-by" landmarks were fine to see in that manner. The highlight was the changing of the guard outside the prime minister's residence.

Our guide Theadore was...

Our guide Theadore was very friendly and funny. He patiently answered countless questions from our group. He tailored the trip somewhat based on when we needed to get back to our hotel. We were very happy with the amount of sights we got to visit. He recommended a very good lunch spot that was delicious and reasonably priced as we were adjacent to Ancient Corinth sight. Overall a great experience. He was unable to escort us through two sites as he was not a licensed guide, however he did suggest certain points of interest to be sure to see as we explored on our own. I think you can request a licensed guide if you want.

Great Morning in Athens

We had a great morning seeing all the top spots in Athens! The private van was great. Our driver made as many stops as we wanted and let us get out and explore when we wanted. We were dropped off very close to all sites, making the most of our time and saving our steps for the Acropolis visit!

This was a GREAT day trip!

This day trip took us to 4 different places outside of Athens and everyone in the family thoroughly enjoyed it! Our driver, Visilis, was great! He also recommended a great restaurant in Nafpilo (a cute little seaside town) where we had the freshest seafood! We highly recommend this day trip and our driver!!

A Day We Will Always Remember

My husband, daughter (10 years old), and I visited Athens during a Mediterranean cruise with a port stop from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. My husband is a philosophy professor and I am a former archaeology professor, we knew we wanted to make the most of our limited time and see as many historically significant sites as possible while in Athens. After extensive research, we chose this tour—and it exceeded every expectation. From the beginning, our driver, Anestis, provided excellent communication and was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. He was also a very safe driver, and his spacious, comfortable vehicle made it easy to enjoy a full day of exploring. Along the way, he shared fascinating insights, answered countless questions, and impressed us with his knowledge of multiple languages and cultures. His friendly personality and engaging conversation made the day even more enjoyable. We also hired a licensed guide, Helen, and she was absolutely amazing. Her depth of knowledge brought Athens to life, and she tailored the experience to our specific interests. We had some unusual requests, including visits to Plato’s "original" Academy and the site traditionally associated with Socrates’ Prison. Helen not only took us to these locations but also provided thoughtful explanations of the archaeological evidence, historical context, and current scholarly understanding. We especially appreciated learning about the archaeological finds in the area, including the discovery of hemlock cups and the discussion surrounding where Socrates may have spent his final days. One of the greatest advantages of this private tour was the flexibility. We were able to ask questions, spend time taking photos, and move at our own pace. Helen expertly guided us through the museums and sites, helping us understand and appreciate what we were seeing in a way that would not have been possible on our own, especially within such a limited timeframe. To top it all off, they recommended a wonderful restaurant where we enjoyed some of the best Greek food of our trip. This tour provided exactly what we were hoping for: an engaging, educational, and deeply memorable experience of Athens. We wholeheartedly recommend this company, as well as Helen and Anestis, to anyone visiting Athens, whether you're arriving by cruise ship or staying in the city. They helped make our day in Athens truly unforgettable.

Unforgettable experience

I recently had the pleasure of joining a tour in Athens, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The city itself is a fascinating blend of ancient history and vibrant modern life, and this tour captured that balance perfectly. We visited some of the most iconic landmarks, including breathtaking ancient ruins and scenic viewpoint that offered stunning panorama of the city. Each stop was thoughtfully chosen, allowing me to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the beauty and atmosphere of Athens. What truly elevated the experience, however, was my driver- guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging throughout the entire tour. His storytelling brought the history to life in a way that felt both informative and entertaining. He was also very attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and included, and was always happy to answer questions or provide extra insights. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city.

Excellent!

This was a fantastic tour. Tolis, our guide, was amazing. He helped us get to all the places we wanted to see and provided us with so much information related to Ancient Greece. He made sure we were comfortable, helped us with our lunch order, and was very patient and helpful. We highly recommend this trip.

Private Half Day Tour of Athens

Dr_N, Jul 2025

Awesome day in Athens!

We arrived in Athens on the day of a massive taxi driver/ tour operator strike. All excursions from the cruise ship were canceled, and passengers were scrambling to make other plans. Our Viator booking called us to relieve our concerns that they were fully operational. The driver was fantastic. He chatted with us and discussed the places that would be best for us to visit- the best part of a private car is that you make your own itinerary. He took us to several historic locations and the changing of the guards and still made it to our reservation at the Acropolis with time to spare. He gave us tips for each location and we had conversations about the historical significance of each place. He took us away from the crowds of tourists to an authentic Greek bakery with amazing delicacies and ice-cold drinks. The lack of tourist traffic allowed for several extra locations, and our driver made the most of our time in Athens. Highly recommended!
