Private tour w/car including lunch

Cintia_S, May 2025
Panos was very attentive and informative. Pick us up at the airport on time 11am and took us straight to the Acropolis. Then Ancient Agora. Then lunch. Only downside is the restaurant included w/tour is 30-40 mins AWAY from all attractions. So you lose a lot of time! There’s so many wonderful restaurants close by. The restaurants right in front of Ancient Agora are excellent! When we finally got back from lunch, we drove around the Parliament and saw the guards walk (not the change of guards). Then the stadium. After the stadium, it was 5pm. Panos offered to take us to temple of Zeus but we were exhausted our long flights, sun burnt (walking around Acropolis). Panos dropped us off at our hotel and helped us w/bags. I recommend this tour, just not beginning from airport (1 hours away from airport).

Fantastic from Start to Finish

Sandra_W, Jun 2023
This tour was fantastic. Very convenient as picked us up from our cruise boat in the morning and dropped us at our accommodation at the end of the tour - what to do with our bags taken care of. It was just my son and I with the driver so we had discretion and an air conditioned car to get into after viewing each attraction. The lunch that come as part of the tour was superb and we got to take the leftovers with us! Last but not least - our driver Achilles was wonderful and made the busy schedule of sight seeing a breeze.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Athens like a VIP!!!

Christine_T, Nov 2022
This was a great experience to get a taste of the great parts of Athens! George was our driver and he was very professional. He did his best to tell us everything about each stop and things we drove past. His passion for his country rings through just as much as his joy in sharing it with us. We did a morning tour finishing with lunch at an amazing local fish restaurant. Having a dedicated driver to each place makes a huge difference! My only advice - after you book this tour go online to order your tickets for the Acropolis *not necessary just saves you waiting in the queue. And be hungry! The provided food is a large sampling of local cuisine.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you so much christine ,your comments are so great and George also liked you so much,he spoke with the best words about you. We would loved to serve you again in athens,once again thank you s much about your review.

Wow! Great way to see the best of Athens

Mitzi_R, Nov 2022

Hail Achilles

Noli_R, Nov 2022
Tried this excursion because we have a limited time in Athens, we are embarking on a cruise the following day. Our tour guide, ACHILLES picked us at our hotel 10 mins before our appointed time, nice start.He brought us to all the important landmarks and enthusiastically discussed important informations about the places we visited .After the tour we were treated to a delicious Greek dinner and was given a souvenir gift...If you want to have a private tour of Athens, riding in a late model Mercedes Benz , with a very patient , accommodating and knowledgeable tour guide plus sumptuous Greek dinner and a gift, I highly recommend this Tour, satisfaction guaranteed

Our Viator afternoon tour was wonderful. George arrived on time in a spotless Mercedes. Throughout the afternoon he took us to all the special highlights of Athens and gave knowledgeable information. He was cheerful, thoughtful and accommodating to our special health needs. George took us to a fantastic restaurant where we were served many types of delicious Greek food. A perfect end to a perfect day in Athens. Thank you George!

George was amazing!!

Josi_M, Oct 2022
If I could give this a 10 star review I would. The sights were cool but our driver George made this trip fantastic. His personality and knowledge of the area was unsurpassed. I only wish we could have him on every tour. And the dinner he took us too was a one of a kind Athens experience.

Hi Josi, Thank you for your kind words for George. We are so satisfied he made your trip engaging with his knowledge and passion for sharing Greek history.
