Elias is the best. Great communication when it came to pick up. The tour was fun and informative. It didn't feel rushed, and I was provided the best hospitality. Drinks were provided and replenished. He was accommodating and took the best photos. I wished I booked the longer tour. My friend and I had an awesome time. Appreciate the recommendations on where to go for dinner after the tour!

Perfect choice!! Our guide, Panos, contacted us prior to pick-up. He arrived on time with a smile. He made suggestions of where we should go first. He never rushed us and he provided great history!! Panos was very pleasant. We appreciated his kind demeanor and his safe driving! Panos is a great asset to your company.

Petros is an outstanding driver with a wealth of Athenian knowledge— he was born in Athens.
We highly recommend Petros because he listened to us and for 5 hours we saw ALL that we wished to see and then had a small local restaurant lunch. SUPERB. We feel we got to know Greek history, culture, food, and locals a bit better thanks to Petros.💛BRAVO VIATOR!! Bravo Athenian son Petros!

Full Experience of Athens
Ivy_E, May 2026
We got a chance to thoroughly tour the Acropolis and Slopes, Museum, Olympic Stadium, Plaka and the highest point in Athens. The other stops were more pass by than getting out to take pictures. Your tour guide functions more like a chauffeur than tour guide, meaning they do not accompany you to the sites. Still a good experience and best for couples/groups that want a self guided tour or to use the apps for their tour of the sites!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are happy you enjoyed your Athens experience and had the chance to visit the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, the Olympic Stadium, Plaka, and the city’s highest viewpoint.
We are also glad the tour worked well for your preferred pace. As noted during the reservation process, our standard experience includes a professional tour driver, with flexible transportation, local tips, and exterior information at each stop. A licensed guide to accompany guests inside archaeological sites and museums is also proposed as an optional add-on with an additional fee, subject to availability.
Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you again in Athens.

Samantha_B, May 2026
Incredible tour! Our guide and driver Elias was amazing! He was friendly, hospitable, incredibly knowledgeable, and knew the best places to show us all the sights in Athens. The car was also nice and comfortable too.
We only had a few hours in the afternoon/early evening to explore Athens the before flying home the next day, and this tour allowed us to see the major sights in comfort and in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend this tour especially if you only have a few hours to see all the major sights in Athens.

Erin_G, May 2026
The company was willing to accommodate separately booked parties so everyone could stay together. Costas, our driver, was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout the entire experience. He took us to all of our locations and was back to pick us up almost as soon as we texted or called. Gave us great local spots to stop at and explore. For lunch, he also took us to one of his local favorite places to eat and it did not disappoint! Next time we are in Athens and need a guide he will definitely be who we ask for! Costas if you happen to read this I want to give you the biggest thank you from Erin, Camilla, Bob, Teresa, Gary and John. Thank you again!!

Kostas was an amazing guide and catered the tour to our wishes. We started our day at The Acropolis (morning is best)! He arranged the tickets for us as requested. We went to the Olympic Stadium, went to the top of Lycabettus Hill with beautiful views in his lovely van. He dropped us off in Plaka where we shopped and ate lunch, then picked us up and made a special stop at a supermarket so we could get a few things for the apartment we’re staying in. He is very knowledgeable about Greek history and also gave us many restaurant recommendations. It was a 12/10 day for us!!

We saw so much more of Athens than we could have ever done on our own. Worth every penny and more!

Holiday traffic!
Debra_B, May 2026
Our excursions landed on the a day before a national holiday in Greece. The roads were extremely crowded with the local people leaving for the holiday. Bad timing on our part had no idea of the holiday. The highway traffic contributed to agitated drivers on the road. ( Including our driver. )
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Debra,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that the heavy holiday traffic affected the comfort and flow of your day. The timing, just before a national holiday, created unusually crowded road conditions as many locals were leaving Athens, and unfortunately this is something that can strongly impact travel times.
That said, we fully understand that the experience should still feel calm and professional, and we are sorry if the traffic created any tension during your tour. Your comments are taken seriously, and we will review this internally with our driver team.
Thank you again for choosing Athenaos Travel & Tours. We hope the highlights of Athens still gave you some beautiful memories of your visit.
