David_R, Jun 2026

Do not miss this tour of the Acropolis!!

We had a wonderful time on our tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Our guide Maria meet us at the base of the Acropolis for an early morning tour. She was an amazing guide and made the historical site really come alive with incredible history. Make sure you purchase the “skip the line” options so you don’t have to wait in line to purchase tickets. Also, it gets very hot on the Acropolis because there is no shade, so a morning or evening tour would probably be best. She also guided us through the museum and took us to the highlights, which tied together what we saw on the Acropolis with the artifacts they have preserved in the museum. Worth every penny!

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!

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!

Peter was prompt in...

Peter was prompt in meeting us at our hotel as we began our day of seeing the sights. He was very entertaining and enjoyable to listen to as we learned so much along our tour. Because of his knowledge of the city, we were able to avoid crowds to enjoy many of the sights we wanted to see and visit! We had plenty of time to spend at each site, making the entire day very enjoyable.

Fun Tour and Great Guide

We very much enjoyed this tour. Theo, our driver/guide, reached out in advance to introduce himself and confirm pick-up. During the tour, he provided loads of information and did not rush us. We were able to remain at the lake a bit longer than scheduled and we were able to end the tour by being dropped off back at the lake rather that where we were picked up. We appreciated Theo's flexibility. Theo also made arrangements in advance for us to have a table by the water at lunch so our daughter could feed the fish in the sea. We had a great tour that was made better by Theo being our guide. We recommend this tour and we recommend Theo!

Artis was great

Artis was great, knowledgeable and willing to answer any question you asked. But then he would step back and let you experience the site for yourself. There when you needed him (whether with a bottle of water or to answer a question) and would step back when you didn’t. True professional. The sites really let you see how the ancient world worked and provide a glipse into how great the apostle Paul truely was as a missionary.

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!

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.

Great experience

Recently I had the opportunity to take this tour. I was travelling alone so I wanted an experience that would help me truly connect with the city and understand its history. From the beginning everything was well organized. The itinerary was perfectly planned covering the most important highlights of Athens while still allowing enough time to enjoy each location. The driver-guide Ruslan was very kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.

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!
