Full Day Private Athens Sightseeing

I had a last minute free day in Athens with 3 friends and needed a guide to show us around. I called Kosta, our tour guide from my last visit to Greece. He remembered me and immediately arranged a one day tour for us. George was our guide. He picked us up from our Athens city center hotel. He showed us many attractions in Athens, took us to a great beach side restaurant for lunch and drop us off at the hotel next to the airport. Like Kostas, George was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time.

A great all day tour for all the most famous places in Athens. Private for your group, you can alter plans as you go. Our guide George was super friendly and a mountain of knowledge.

We met Jim at the port bright and early to make the most of our day. He had cold water for us, and we told him our priorities and wish list if we had time. We stopped by the Piraeus sign, went to the coffee shop for a cold cappuccino to wake ourselves up, and then went to the Acropolis Museum before heading to the Acropolis and Parthenon. Panathenaic Stadium (first modern Olympic Games in 1896). We opted not to go to the Panathenaic Stadium since we could see it from the Acropolis. We happened upon the changing of the guards at the Parliament. We went to Five Friends Restaurant, a truly family restaurant that serves food made in the homes of the Greeks. It was such an incredible synchronicity that we had five people and made a new friend in Dimitris. We drove past Monastiraki Square, a flea market, and went to the Plaka neighborhood—one of the oldest, with cobblestone streets, taverns, and cafes. We bought more than we needed. A friend left her card in the ATM, and miraculously, it was still there 45 minutes later. Jim ran all the way with her to retrieve her card. We said goodbye to our driver at the port and returned to the ship with time to spare. We returned to the boat. Excited from our day, learning about Greece, both ancient and modern. Jim is competent, knowledgeable, and was great to have as our guide for the day. We had a fantastic time, great food, and made a new friend. We all want to return and learn more from Jim.

Well as we got started our tour was different from what we are accustomed. We thought we were getting a private tour guide who would be with us every step. What we have is a private driver who takes you around Athens pointing out sights and dropping you off to visit where you want. Very flexible. I think we saw the highlights and visited a couple of sights and museums. I would say if you choose this ask what you can do in advance to be ready to hit the ground running as no tickets are included in the price. I would suggest if you have agreed where you are visiting to pre purchase the tickets. For instance our first stop was The Acropolis. The ticket line and line to get in were ridiculous. Took over two hours in the scorching heat and once inside the crowd was dense climbing the hill to the top. I would buy a skip the line ticket or hire a guide who takes you right in. Museums aren’t that bad but pre purchasing your tickets saves time.

Enjoyed full day Athens Tour with Piraeus pick-up. Guide/driver Jim(Dimitris) was on-time, informative and responded to our needs. We made adjustments to meet our groups needs and a Sunday schedule. Toured all the major Athens site. Overall, great value and fantastic alternative to other available options for single day excursion visit.

Excellent from Start to Finish! Our Driver/Guide was Andrew. When we decided to change our schedule and at the last minute he could not have been more accommodating. Athens is a crazy city to drive in and Andrew was a very careful driver and knew his city like the back of his hand. He had a book of photos to shows and shared lots of wonderful information. He took us very close to all the sites and in places where he could not park he was never more than five minutes away! He was very attentive to my mother who is 78 and not very mobile and we would highly recommend Enjoy Greece tours and our guide Andrew!

We had a 3 day tour of Athens, Corinth, Souino and private airport transfer. Our flight was canceled getting leaving from Istanbul to Athens getting us in late in the evening, but Kostas made sure we seen everything in the days we had. He stayed out late with us to drive around to see the different sites. Thank you! He was great to talk with and explained everything. I have traveled to several countries and have used guides from a around the world and Kostas did a great job and was observant to our interests. I would hire Kostas again if we go back to Athens and would also recommend him to friends. Thank you Kostas for a unforgettable 3 day tour!

Kostas is THE BEST. He took our family on two separate tours on two consecutive days. We were delayed getting to Athens airport and had to make last-minute changes to our tour. Kostas was flexible and accommodating the entire time. As for the tours, Kostas provided the ultimate VIP experience and his restaurant selections were superb. By the end of the tours, he felt like family and we were sad to leave. We hope to be back in Greece and will definitely call Kostas. We HIGHLY recommend Enjoy Greece Tours.

Our driver Dimitrius was amazing; very considerate, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was also very worth it to have a nice air conditioned van to get into in between each place. Definitely ask your driver to take you to a local place for lunch - we had some phenomenal Greek dishes. The tour was so fun, and very flexible on time, so you could enjoy the sights for however long you wanted. If you’re into museums, you might want to get there a little earlier - they said they closed at 4, but they started rushing everyone out at 3:45 lol. Overall a fantastic experience and would certainly recommend!

A great company to use for a private all day tour which I selected based on previous reviews on Tripadvisor. It proved to be a great decision as were able to personalize the tour according to our interests. The driver took the time to show us a lot more of Athens than the tourist highlights. We also hired a guide after debating whether the extra money was going to be worth it. That proved to be a great decision too since she had a lot of information and visual aids to give us the background on how various invaders changed the appearance of Acropolis. She was also invaluable in navigating the crowds in the peak season of August as she knew where we could get great views, stand in the shade while discussing the sights, take pictures without getting people in the background and get the most out of the Acropolis museum.
