Half day in Athens

Leo_F, Oct 2025
Worth the money for such a personal experience. Decided to take this option instead of cruises excursion.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much Leo for your kind words! It means a lot to us. We love offering a personal and memorable experience. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit!

Helpful, customisable tour

Philippa_W, Jul 2025
I was able to customise this tour beforehand to exclude the Acropolis (as I’d done it before but my kids weren’t interested). The driver also changed the itinerary so we went to the Agora instead of the Acropolis Museum (which we’d decided to do ourselves later), and still managed to get some time at Plaka. All in all, very helpful, and we had a really interesting time!

Thank you Phillipa for your kind words. We are glad you had a good time. We all wish you safe travels!

The tour was Ok

Grace_L, Oct 2024
We were not able to visit Acropolis because we didn't have the entrance tickets. We only visited the temple and had city tour and the bazaar. After lunch we were sent to the airport. The driver was nice but asked for Euro 80 to take us to the sirport.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We regret to hear that you were unable to visit the Acropolis due to ticket availability. However, we had sent multiple reminders requesting that you pre-book the tickets and confirm your preferred time, as this is essential for ensuring entry. While we strive to provide the best possible experience, we understand how disappointing it can be to miss such an important site. To avoid this in the future, we highly recommend securing tickets well in advance, especially during peak travel periods when availability is limited. We are pleased that you enjoyed the city tour and appreciated the professionalism of our driver. Regarding the airport transfer, we would like to clarify that this service was agreed upon in advance. As outlined in our itinerary, the tour starts and ends at the same location. A drop-off at a different point, such as Athens Airport, which is approximately an hour away, is considered a transfer. The rate offered to you was significantly lower than the standard price, and this was communicated clearly before the service. Thank you once again for your feedback. It helps us continually improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience on your next visit.

Great experience

Our tour guide was George and we had a wonderful time on our tour. We saw the best parts of Athens and since we had bought a ticket online beforehand for the Acropolis we skipped the queue. George was incredibly informative and showed us all the smaller equally beautiful areas as well. Overall we had a great time and would definitely reccomend this tour to anyone wanting to see all the highlights in Athens.

Response from Host, May 2024

Amit, it sounds like you had an amazing experience exploring Athens! It's wonderful to hear that I provided insightful commentary and took you to lesser-known yet equally stunning areas of the city. Recommending this tour to others speaks volumes about the quality of your experience. Thanks for sharing your recommendation!

Fab tour of highlights
