Do not take this tour!

this was a terrible tour: -we were picked up at 2:30, drove in circle and dropped us off to Acropolis without any explanation or stops as listed on the ticket. We spent 1 hour in the acropolis and driver rushed to take us to the restaurant which was 45 min away. The tour was not a tour , it was a personal chauffer and not a tour guide. The restaurant had terrible food and we wasted 2 hrs to go to the restaurant in back. We did not eat in the restaurant as it was cold and tastetless. The girl working there was tosting the plates to the table versus serving it. Terrible! I am asking for refund as this was something i never experienced before as i used Viator in the past. If you have any questions please contact me at liliana@novuscom.net or 1.604.655.3912

Great half-day tour if you’re short on time

We only had one day in Athens, so we chose a half-day tour and it was a great way to see the city’s major sights in a short amount of time. Everything was well organized and the itinerary flowed smoothly from one stop to the next. We had plenty of time at each location, and our guide, Marselo, was knowledgeable and full of interesting insights about Athens and its history. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to make the most of a limited visit. The only thing not included was the Acropolis Museum, which is well worth a separate visit.

Private tour of Athens

We enjoyed our tour with Kostis our guide. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful getting us up to the Acropolis when one of our party was had back issues. We would recommend this company.

Cos was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Athens and showed us all of the important ancient sites. I would definitely have him as a guide on our next visit!

Book This One!

This tour was our favorite part of the trip to Athens! Ozzy was our driver and I highly recommend requesting him if you are booking this experience. He was warm, hospitable, and provided a great balance of conversation from historical facts to current life in Athens. He was very communicative and made sure we knew how much time we had at each spot but also how to reach him if we needed more or less time so he could pick us up. We booked the tour that included lunch. The food was incredible. It was fresh, flavorful, and more than we could eat. I highly recommend this tour, and also recommend that you book it early in your visit to Athens in case you want to see more of certain spots later on during your stay.
