What are people saying about Athens

Beverly_S, Nov 2026

Great tour of Athens

We did this our first day in Athens and I thought it was a really good tour to get us knowledgeable about the area. We got the major things we needed to see done and then we had time to go back and spend more time on things we wanted to see more later in the week(Acropolis museum). Our guide was fabulous and gave us some follow-up input and was very nice and helpful. The picture he took of us overlooking the viewpoint of the Acropolis is our favorite picture of us as a couple we've had this entire trip. He found a great location for us to watch the changing up the guard and explained what was going to happen. So many interesting areas he pointed out. Kind of a behind the scenes input.

Athens inner city

The tour has an interesting itinerary including many of the well known sites with opportunities for sites of personal interest. I would not include a visit to the acropolis as a part of the tour as this takes up too much time. I would suggest doing it separately.

Theadore was FABULOUS!

Theadore couldn’t have been better. He picked us up on time. Showed us all over Athens, many more places than we expected. Spoke very good English. Got us tickets to the Acropolis last minute to avoid long lines. Was extremely knowledgeable on Greek history, as well as any topic we asked him. Spoke the entire time teaching us all about Greece. He was great! Highly recommend Theadore! Thanks for a great day!

Be prepared for Greeks to steal your heart.

The bus was a new Mercedes van with just 3 seats per row. Very very comfortable with great a/c and big windows. Our guide Vasili and driver also whose name started with a V were excellent at their jobs. We learned alot about Greek history and the influence the language has on western language. We can thank the Greeks for Mathematics, Navigation, Celestial navigation, medicine and much much more.

Seeing Athens with a personal guide

Our tour with Dennis was enjoyable. We were able to spend considerable time at the Parthenon and tailor the rest of our tour to our wishes. He had lots of information to share and presented many options to visit. We saw the changing of the guard at the presidential Palace and the Olympic Stadium as well.

Very enjoyable

Our experience was perfect. Great communication prior to the day of the tour. Our guide, Dimitris Tabone, met us right outside the port terminal. His van was very clean and comfortable. Dimitris was friendly, and quite knowledgeable. He explained exactly where we were going and what to do. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.

Exceptional tour of Athens Rich History

This tour gave some great insight into Greek history and culture. We went to several different sites around Athens. The tour guide gave through explanations of all the sites that we toured. Gary, our tour guide, was exceptional. She had an impressive body of knowledge of all the different sites we went to. I was most impressed by her engaging nature with us. We greatly appreciate her patience with us when it came to answering all our questions. I highly recommend this tour if you want some local insight into the rich history of Athens.

Best Tour Experience on Our Journey

Our driver was delayed due to road and traffic conditions. They notified us and refunded our payment due to the delay--couldn't ask for a better resolution. The tour was perfect, our driver/guide expert and informative. We could not have had a better experience. We strongly recommend this tour company for their expertise and excellent service. (This was our second Athens day tour in the past three years, and this company is by far the better choice.)

Great day in Athens

Great service with Nikki from the moment she meet us outside the terminal exit with a sign that had our name throughout the day when we were dropped off at the port. She had a wealth of knowledge and provides it with the right mix of amount, timing and value. The bus had comfortable new seats, AC and even a bottle of water. Well worth the cost which is much cheaper than the cruise ship.

Cape Sounio & Temple Of Poseidon Breathtaking Views Private Trip

Private tour to the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon

I was picked up at the hotel at 5:30 PM, we went with the driver to Cape Sounion (around 70km from Athens) to the Temple of Poseidon. The time varies because of the sunset, 5:30 PM was the beginning of September. We were - with a photo stop - at the temple around 7:00 PM, still in the evening sun, the sun set around 7:45 PM, as soon as the sun has set, the site is closed. Perfect timing, sufficient time (there is not that much to see beyond the temple). On the drive we had a very good conversation, about Greek gods, the Temple of Poseidon, and Greece in general. The tour is of course more expensive than a bus tour, but in return you get personal attention (also in advance), which you do not know from the "discount" offers. The driver stays in the car, you have to pay the admission for the temple on site (20€), that is transparently communicated. Highly recommended.

A nice day trip out of Athens.

A great time exploring places outside of Athens. You see a completely different side of Greece on this trip. It was nice to have someone else drive and not worry about the traffic or finding our way. Nathan was a great tour guide and knew a lot about the area. Nafplio was a very nice spot to stop for lunch.
