What are people saying about Athens

Carol_H, Oct 2026

Greek food galore!

Joeseph was fabulous! He led us around an area near the Plaka neighborhood. We had so so much Greek food at local tavernas and restaurants. He gave us bits of history while guiding us safely through a lively part of the city. He engaged with everyone in our group telling us about the various dishes we were eating. Highly recommend this tour.

Athens Electric Bike Tour

Cheryl_C, Oct 2026

Fun way to explore Athens

This was an enjoyable way to explore Athens. The electric bikes were easy to use and helmets were available. George was our tour guide and he was entertaining and informative. We saw the Acropolis and other historical sites from various angles and also the changing of the guards from a good vantage point. The bikes enabled us to cover a wide area over a few hours. George also gave us tips on where to eat and we had a wonderful meal at Jimmy’s Fish in Piraeus as a result of George’s recommendation. Overall, a fun activity and good for getting your bearings at the start of your trip in Athens.

Athens Acropolis and Parthenon Walking Tour

Andrew_K, Oct 2026

Greek word for “good time” = Acropolis walking tour 😁

Nicoletta was a wonderful guide. Think her teaching experience definitely helped 🙂. Even when asked about any item in the museum she had knowledge and an answer. There was a bit of climbing/steps to the top but she stopped to point out diff sights along the way which made the climb easier.

Stephen_C, Oct 2026

If you’re looking for an active, informative tour, this is for you!

Wow! From start to finish, this tour was an active and informative experience; just what we were looking for! Kleanthis, our guide was excellent, getting to know all of us and personalizing the experiences as appropriate. We circled the Acropolis on ancient and (some) modern streets, getting a view from many perspectives and visiting many interesting neighborhoods along the way. Although there was some history involved, the emphasis of this tour was about the city of Athens with overviews of life now and in the past. We saw the guards at the presidential palace and “K-boss” shared the significance of the ritual. We even visited the stadium site of the first modern Olympics. So much to see and getting around on an ebike was fun. We felt safe and well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Wish I could give this...

Wish I could give this more than 5 stars. Emi was excellent, gave us extra food to try, told us some greek history , as well as other recommendations for food places. We've gone back to the places she took us to or recommended, she learnt all our names and personalised it to us. Did this on our first night in Athens and highly recommend! All around a great experience, thank you!!

We had a wonderful experience exploring the sights of Athens followed by a delicious dinner. It was such a lovely way to experience the city—seeing the historic landmarks, taking in the atmosphere, and then ending the evening with a fantastic meal with new friends! Everything was well organized, and we really appreciated the combination of sightseeing, local culture, and great food. The experience felt personal and enjoyable rather than rushed. A special thank you to our guide Vivian for making the evening so memorable and sharing the history and character of Athens with us. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Athens who wants to see the city, learn about its history, and enjoy a wonderful Greek dinner.

Acropolis of Athens and Acropolis Museum Tour

Elizabeth_M, Sep 2026

Great tour, best guide!

Solid tour with extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide Deppy. She was terrific explaining the history and mythical stories of the site, artifacts and museum. She was very conscious of safety, warning of possible slippery areas, and considerate to stop in shady areas to allow rests and rejuvenations before proceeding to next point of interest. Tour lasted well beyond published time, so bring comfortable shoes, water bottles, hats and your curiosity. You won’t be disappointed.
