Excellent Day! - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Athens! Our driver and tour guide, Petros, was well-informed not only on every sight, but also gave us substantial background of Greek history and historical figures. Our lunch spot by the water was one of our favorite meals of the trip. We learned so much on this day!

Wonderful day exploring Athens! - We had a great experience on our private tour of Athens. Having a dedicated guide really elevated the visit. Their insights added a lot of context during our time at the museum and the archaeological sites. The Parthenon is absolutely a must-see when in Greece, and it was great to explore it with someone who could explain the history in depth. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and well-organized, which made the day easy and enjoyable. Adding Cape Sounion to the itinerary is a must! The coastal drive is stunning, and seeing the Temple of Poseidon at sunset was a real highlight. A well-paced and informative day overall.

Outstanding Athens Tour - Andreas was an incredible guide. We saw everything we expected to see and more. He was very accommodating to our needs, stopping for a to-go lunch which we ate in the car on the way to Sounion , to taking us up to a taxi/shared ride drop off point to make the assent to the Acropolis easier. We stayed in touch during our tours of various sites on WhatsApp and let him know when we were ready to be picked up. Simply outstanding service! I highly recommend him.

Excellent private tour of Athens - I booked this tour as a part of my husband's birthday trip to Greece. Our guide and driver was friendly and we always felt safe. After picking us up from our hotel, we started at the Acropolis. Next, we went to Hadrian's Gate, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Panthenaic Stadium, and the Governor's Mansion. We saw the Changing of the Guards ceremony there as it was less busy. Then, we traveled to the Temple of Poseidon. The views are incredible and I recommend you add this portion to the tour. We stopped to eat on the way back to Athens. We ended the tour at the Acropolis Museum. We said farewell as this point as I knew my husband would want to spend a long time at the museum. It was a great overview of the sights and we are so happy we took this tour.

Educational and fun! - We had a wonderful time on our tour (with two teenagers 13 and 16). Petros was a fantastic guide. He was a walking guidebook and we also had an opportunity to chat about every day life in Greece. We never felt rushed at any of the sites and had our best day in Athens.
