Monumentos de Atenas y Museo de la Acrópolis: tour privado de medio día

Felt like being on top of the world with our wonderful guide Ellen! The Acropolis is truly beautiful day and night! Our tour was full of history thanks to Ellen’s knowledge and fun spirit! We had a fantastic driver as well Thanos who not only took us to the Acropolis but to Cape Sounion at sunset as well! Both tours are a must do! Cheers!

THIS was the way to experience Athens! Andreo picked us up at our hotel, in a very nice van. He drove us to several sites, giving us a history lesson along the way. He kept it entertaining for the whole family, from 7 years to adults. We all had a blast. We had so much fun, after going to lunch at a great place he recommended, we extended the tour and he took us to Poseidon's Temple for sunset. It was the best tour day of our entire vacation.

In late October 2023, my husband and I were on the tail-end of a month-long vacation in several countries, with Greece being the last. We like private guides so we contacted JG Athens Tours in September via email, to see what was available for us while we were in Athens.. John, the owner, responded almost immediately which is amazing since most agencies either didn't respond at all, or it took several days. We described to John the specific tours we wanted to take, including our tight timeframe with check-in, check-out hotel times, plus plane arrival and departure times. John was wonderful! He communicated with us very quickly, and when the tours started, we never had any questions like when and where we would meet or be picked up. Lack of timely detailed communication had been a big problem with the other agencies on our trip. John gets a BIG THUMBS UP from us.! He also set us up with a wonderful guide; George. He was very personable and knowledgeable about all the places we toured. The next morning, George, showed up at our hotel, on time, and with plenty of cold water to start our day of visiting Delphi and Thermopylae. Both were wonderful! George played about 20 minute long historical videos on the screen in his car for us to watch as we drove to the different sites, as well as shared additional information all along the drive. He took us to a beautiful quaint family-owned restaurant with an awesome view in present day Delphi. George drove us all around Athens stopping at several places and timed it so we got to see the changing of the guards at the palace! And of course he took us to the Parthenon where he patiently waited for us, taking as long as we wanted. Tour guides usually are not allowed into the actual historical sites as there are other guides you pay, within the sites, if want a guided tour. This was true in the other countries as well. Our last day we spent in Corinth which we very munch enjoyed and then got us to the airport for a late flight to Santorini. John, of JG Athens Tours did an amazing job of matching us up with the perfect guide for our needs. His timely communication, and willingness to work with us to make last minute changes, made our time in Athens a wonderful memory!

JG Athens is amazing! From the start, John gave clear instructions and patiently entertained all my questions while I was still in the travel planning phase. I sent him lots of emails and his responses were prompt and informative. The itinerary was superb! So much to see within 6 hours on this private tour. So, my gal pal and I arrive in Greece and unfortunately, while in Mykonos I had too much fun and injured my knee (I swear no alcohol was involved!) We arrived safely in Athens a couple of days later and George met us at our hotel and took us for our tour in a comfy Mercedes Benz. Their guides can't accompany guests to the specific sites, but George showed us video and gave us just the right amount of commentary for each attraction before we entered. This was great since poor George would have had to endure the countless selfies and silly photoshoots my gal pal and I took. Due to my injury, George took such good care of me including driving to the Acropolis entrance for those with physical needs and talked to Security to let us use the express elevator. A nice treat was watching the changing of the guard ceremony at Parliament. So much history and George showed us where to stand and when to take video. He lent me his charger and gave us bottled water. George is also a natural comedian, explaining the significance of statues where the rider's horses have one or two hooves off the ground. If three hooves are off the ground, then the horse is a ballerina! Haha! Excellent tour! Even without my injury, this was the perfect way to go. Sightseeing in Athens in style. Highly recommend!

Our driver was friendly, knowledgeable and very prompt. It can be stressful navigating a tour with a bus load of people - I wouldn’t do this any other way.

Spent a wonderfull 6 hours in Athens with our driver, George. He has a beautiful manner and is amazingly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this private tour to any considering a trip to Athens

Not to be missed during your visit to Athens. This museum is beautiful! My only regret is that I did not book a guide ... so to do it again
