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.

Best tour guide ever

Judith_D, Jul 2026
Dear Athenaos Travel and Tours Management, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation and admiration for our tour guide, Elias, whose professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion made our experience in Athens truly unforgettable. From the moment we met him, Elias impressed us with his calm, pleasant nature and his warm, welcoming manner. He has an exceptional ability to make every guest feel comfortable, safe, and valued. Throughout our tour, he consistently looked after our wellbeing, ensuring that everyone was included, informed, and cared for. What truly sets Elias apart is his remarkable depth of knowledge. It is evident that he continually keeps himself up to date with the history, culture, and significance of Athens, and he shares this knowledge with enthusiasm, clarity, and pride. His explanations brought history to life, particularly the rich historical journey of Athens before, during, and after the time of Christ. His storytelling was engaging, insightful, and thought-provoking, allowing us to gain a far deeper appreciation for Greece’s extraordinary heritage. Elias’ passion for his country shines through in everything he does. His love for Athens is infectious, and his sense of purpose in his work is unmistakable. He does not simply guide tours, he creates meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impression. His dedication, professionalism, and authentic enthusiasm transformed what could have been an ordinary sightseeing trip into an educational and memorable journey. It is rare to encounter someone who combines such extensive knowledge with genuine kindness, patience, and outstanding customer care. Elias is a tremendous asset to Athenaos Travel and Tours, and his commitment to excellence reflects exceptionally well on your company. I cannot speak highly enough of both Elias and Athenaos Travel and Tours. Without hesitation, I would recommend Elias as a tour guide—and your company as a whole a hundred times over to anyone visiting Athens. He exemplifies the very highest standards of hospitality and professionalism. Please extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Elias. He made our visit to Athens truly special, and I hope his outstanding work receives the recognition it so richly deserves. With sincere gratitude, Judith Davis

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Judith, Thank you sincerely for your incredibly thoughtful and generous review. Your words truly mean a great deal to me. It was a genuine pleasure showing you Athens and sharing the history, culture, and heritage of my country with you. I am especially happy that you felt comfortable, cared for, and connected to the stories behind the places we visited. Creating a meaningful experience rather than simply showing the sights is always my goal. Your appreciation and recommendation are among the greatest compliments I could receive. Thank you for choosing Athenaos Travel & Tours and for making the time to share your experience in such detail. I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Greece in the future.

You can gain much knowledge through a Half Day Tour of Athens, Greece

Connie_H, Jul 2026
Myself and 3 cousins all 70ish in age experienced the most amazing tour. Our half day tour was truly filled with rich history and was physically challenging which we embraced. Athens being one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world gave us a chance to experience the history and culture of Greece. Our tour guide Vasilis (Billy) was knowledgeable, informative, professional and very helpful. We enjoyed every aspect of the tour because of his expertise.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted that you and your cousins enjoyed exploring Athens and its remarkable history with Billy. Your kind comments about his knowledge, professionalism, and helpfulness mean a great deal to our team. It was a pleasure welcoming you, and we hope to see you again for another experience in Greece.

Fun and Fascinating

Edward_M, Jul 2026
Peter, our wonderful Athens guide, took us to many historic spots in the city, and shared his knowledge of ancient Greek History, Gods and Goddesses, and more recent history. He was fun, cynical, knowledgeable, engaging and funny. It was a very hot day, so he made sure the air conditioning was turned up and the water was cold. We laughed and learned for five hours that sped by. We got plenty of time at the Parthenon, and other sites, and now we know enough to spend more time in Greece on a future trip. We highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m delighted that Peter made your Athens tour both fascinating and enjoyable, bringing the city’s history, mythology, and ancient sites to life. It is especially rewarding to know that he kept everyone comfortable despite the heat and that the five hours passed so quickly. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be delighted to welcome you back for another journey through Greece in the future!

Great Experience for limited time and solo travel!

Allison_T, Jul 2026
My day was fantastic! Thanos was a wonderful guide, very kind and knowledgeable. I had very limited time in Anthens and this tour gave me the chance to see a lot and stay out of the heat, absolutely worth every penny!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted that Thanos helped you make the most of your limited time in Athens while keeping the experience comfortable despite the heat. Your kind words mean a great deal to our team, and we hope to welcome you back to Greece in the future!

Four Hour Athens Tour

Lauren_M, Jul 2026
Some big strengths were that the tour guide had excellent communication in advance of and during our tour (where to and when to meet, etc). He also provided us with water on a very hot day. However, it wasn't a guided tour. We were dropped off at the several places for an hour or so each (the Acropolis, the Plaka neighborhood) to explore on our own rather than guided through each of these locations.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you appreciated the excellent communication, attentive service and bottled water provided during such a hot day. We are sorry that the tour format did not fully match your expectations. This experience includes a professional English-speaking tour driver rather than a licensed tour guide. The driver provides historical information during the journey and from outside the sites. At the Acropolis, only a licensed guide may accompany visitors and provide commentary inside the archaeological area. Plaka is a pedestrian neighbourhood with no safe or legal parking nearby, especially for a larger vehicle such as a minivan. For this reason, the driver must drop guests off at the closest accessible point and remain with the vehicle while they explore the area independently. We appreciate your feedback and will continue making the tour format as clear as possible before each experience.

Our guide/driver Aggelos...

David_L, Jul 2026
Our guide/driver Aggelos was great! Super knowledgeable and fantastic personality. He gave us the perfect amount of insight at each of our stops and let us roam around on our own for as long as we wanted/needed. He certainly guided us on how long each stop should last, but never set deadlines. He kept reminding us that this was our time to use as we wanted. He shared some unique insights about himself and his time in the Greece military as a guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier, which we had the opportunity to see with him standing next to us. What a great day privately touring Athens!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear David, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted that Aggelos made your private tour of Athens so enjoyable, flexible, and personal. We especially appreciate you sharing your experience at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It sounds like a truly memorable moment, and we will be very happy to pass your kind words on to Aggelos. We would be delighted to welcome you again on another journey through Greece.

Acropolis tour

Mark_S, Jul 2026
Our guide Elias was great,polite patient & knowledgeable, I prefer Rome in all honesty as the history is real as opposed to mythological stories, quite expensive for a pile of old stones!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Mark, thank you for your review and for your kind words. I’m very glad you found the tour enjoyable and appreciated my knowledge and patience. I completely understand that every traveler has different interests and preferences. While Greek mythology is an important part of our heritage, much of what you see at the Acropolis is also deeply connected to documented history and the development of democracy, philosophy, and Western civilization. It was a pleasure showing you around Athens, and I wish you many more wonderful travels.

I had about an 8 hr...

Katherine_P, Jul 2026
I had about an 8 hr layover in Athens on the way to Mykonos and decided to try to make the best of it with a private tour. Elias picked me up 15 minutes early in a nice and comfortable E-class. He helped with my bag and opened and closed the car door all day. We got all the main highlights covered in great time. He checked on me often to gauge what level of chatting/sightseeing/historical background would be good, since I’d shared that i got minimal sleeping on the long journey over. Kind, professional, comfortable, knowledgeable, and punctual - highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Katherine! It was truly a pleasure meeting you and helping you make the most of your layover in Athens before your trip to Mykonos. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed the comfort of the journey and appreciated the personalized pace throughout the day. Every traveler is different, so I always try to adapt the experience to what each guest enjoys most. Thank you again for choosing Athenaos Travel & Tours. I hope you had a fantastic time in Mykonos, and I would be delighted to welcome you back to Greece for another adventure in the future!

Great tour, great tour guide. Well worth the money.

Jeffrey_B, Jul 2026
We had a private tour and an air-conditioned Mercedes coupe which was especially nice since it was 95° out. The tour guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the city and the history behind all of the places that we went. And for the last hour and a half he let us customize the tour andselect what we wanted to see after we saw all of the highlights. He even bought us coffee. This is a great tour and well worth the price.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Jeffrey, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the comfort of the Mercedes, especially in the Athens heat, and that your tour driver made the city’s history engaging while giving you the flexibility to personalize the final part of your tour. We are also glad you enjoyed the coffee—it is often the small touches that make a day memorable. It was a pleasure welcoming you to Athens, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.

Wonderful Introduction to Athens

Karen_D, Jul 2026
I was a little confused about booking this tour in terms of getting tickets for the Acropolis and arranging our drop off at the hotel, but the company was communicative, flexible, and understanding. Our driver, Elias, was also very communicative and prompt picking us up at the port. He drove us all around the city, explaining in detail about what we would see at each stop. He also took several pictures of us at each stop, offered to get us a coffee, and recommended several places to eat. This is a great introduction to Athens, setting us up for a wonderful stay.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Karen, Thank you for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure welcoming you to Athens and making your arrival from the port as smooth and comfortable as possible. I’m very happy you enjoyed the tour, the photos, and the local recommendations. We would be delighted to welcome you again on a future visit to Greece.

A great local experience from a local!

Amie_S, Jul 2026
A must do! Having a private car/van take you around all sites was efficient and allows you to appreciate the site rather than being exhausted from the walking . Which was still intense, especially to the Parthenon and around museum. Out tour guide know Athens and the sites better than we could have hoped and told us stories that understood and were helpful. We were able to ask questions about the site but also about dining, culture and anything! Kostas was so friendly and wonderful we felt we have a friend here.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Amie, Thank you so much for your beautiful review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your private Athens experience with Kostas.
