What are people saying about 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.

Our tour was with Jason....

Our tour was with Jason. We had an amazing time, the sunset was beautiful, the vehicle was very clean and comfortable. Jason took us to an authentic greek seafood restaurant located on the water on the way home. The food was delicious. Jason was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. I would highly recommend this tour.

Don’t Miss This

Andreas was our guide and was a masterful historian, a true believer and a legitimately good person. We were able to get outside the city to a less crowded area, and it was a wonderful, contemplative day. The ancient city of Corinth was incredible, and it was a remarkable feeling to be there. The experience is one we will never forget.

The Perfect Way to see Athens!

Our Best of Athens Private Tour Driver, Alex, was fantastic and offered us a first-rate tour around the city. He made sure we hit all the Athens key spots of interest, recommended best restaurants, met back up with us after we climbed and explored the Acropolis, and gave us key tips for strolling The Plaka. Alex knows his city and made us feel less like tourists and more like interested explorers -- perfect!

Day of Athens w Elias

What an amazing day! We saw everything from the changing of the guards to the acropolis to the agora. The day was so well paced, and Elias picked up quickly on the personality of the group. We had fun, we learned a ton. And we created memories for a lifetime. what’s great is we never felt or stressed to keep the tour moving along but instead freely flow through the day at our own pace. We couldn’t speak highly enough about Elias as our tour guide.

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!

This private tour was...

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

Kaydene_S, May 2026

Great way to see Athens

This tour was great. Our guide, Jorge, picked us up at the cruise port. drove us all around Athens and dropped us and our bags at the hotel in the early afternoon. We added the Acropolis Museum and the Parthenon tours. A special highlight was seeing the guards at the presidential palace. Very good tour event and very helpful with our schedule.

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

maryKate_H, May 2026

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.

4 Hours - Athens & Acropolis Highlights Private Tour

Aideen_J, Apr 2026

A perfect start to a perfect weekend in Athens

We took this private tour the first morning of our long weekend in Athens and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. As a family group of 7 it seemed like the best tour to do. Giannis our guide picked us up first thing in the morning and the Acropolis was our first stop. I strongly recommend that the Acropolis is visited as early as possible in the morning to avoid the crowds and (if applicable) the heat. The guide gave just enough information before he dropped us off and that left us free to meander in our own time around this truly remarkable archeological site. The rest of the the trip was a really fun tour round the other important sites and things to see. It was spot on for setting us up with a general feel and appreciation of the city and is perfect for anyone passing through or on a short stay. Giannis - our guide was super friendly, well informed and very flexible. 10/10

Excellent tour!

Our group consisted of two adults and two kids (ages 10 & 12). Our tour guide was very friendly, accommodating, and SO knowledgeable. She was excellent with keeping even the kids interested and entertained. She even took family photos, which I am SO grateful for as I never seem to get one of those when we travel. I would definitely recommend the experience to others.
