Private Tour

Itinerary

Admission not included120 min

Beginning on the slopes of the Acropolis, enter the sacred hill through the Propylaea, an imposing marble-gate surrounding the hill. Marvel at the magnificent and inspired construction of the Parthenon and learn about the eras of worship and destruction it has faced in stony resilience. Set your eyes upon the ethereal Erechtheion and its iconic Caryatids, the fair maidens that support the beautiful structure. With your deeply knowledgeable and passionate guide, learn about the history, legends, and myths that envelop this ancient site and enjoy breath-taking views across Athens and out to the Aegean Sea. Join us on this journey through time that will show you the very origins of democracy and political philosophy as we know it today.

110 min

Next, it’s time to turn your journey through antiquity into one of gastronomy! Discover the very best of Athens’ foodie scene by tasting delights such as home-made dishes, 'koulouri', 'loukoumades' and many more local favorites. Get to know the locals at the vibrant Athens Central Market and see the huge variety of fresh meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits on display. Discover specialist stalls, bursting with colorful and aromatic herbs, spices and condiments; meet with true artisans, who will show you how much time, dedication and love goes into producing their treasured delicacies. There, you'll also have the opportunity to try some of the most traditional and authentically Greek dishes you could possibly find. The menu varies, but some of the most popular choices are 'gemista' -the famous oven-baked stuffed vegetables-, slow-cooked meat with a side of mashed potatoes or pasta, 'fava' -a split pea dip- and okra casserole, among others. Let your taste buds sore as you sample cheeses from across Greece, irresistible cold cuts and perfectly prepared Greek coffee. In Greece, we know how to feed people - fresh, delicious food and plenty of it (no morsel bites here), so be sure to come hungry!

10 min

Your tour will come to an end at the famous area of Monastiraki, the place where Athens' past and present meet. Learn about the famed Monastiraki square, with its flea market and important historical monuments, and bid your tour goodbye among the vibrant vibe of the region.

Acropolis tour and Day sail on Naxos

Katerina Both tours were fantastic. Marielena is a very special guide and knew everything about the Acropolis.. The Lady K was fantastic as well. The captain was a good host and we had a great day. Thank you for your help.

Operator response

Hello Bradley, Thank you for the positive feedback regarding our Acropolis tour and Naxos sailing tour. We take pride in having the best team and we couldn’t be happier that you enjoyed the services of your guides on both occasions. Hopefully, you’ll be back in our country soon enough to join us in more of our tours and trips around Greece!

Wonderful experience, highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Maria-Elena - she is an archeologist by training, spoke fluent English and was a fun to spend time with and learn from. As an added plus, she was very comfortable and enjoyable for our teenage daughters too. Perfect experience for our family of 4 to learn about the Acropolis and see the museum. Thank you Maria-Elena and GreekingMe Tours!!!

Operator response

Dear Michelle, Thank you so much for your feedback and your polite words! We couldn't be happier that you enjoyed yourselves at the tour with Maria-Elena. She is an excellent guide, great with both adults and children and always does her best to engage and involve everyone, by sharing her expertise! She will be grateful to hear your kind words! We are definitely looking forward to meeting you again in the future! Best :)

Multiple Tours in Both Athens & Crete....All First Rate!

We used greekingme to book many transfers and tours for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teens). We had a truly outstanding experience with every one of them. Our tours included: Private Acropolis Delights Tour (Acropolis & Food), Private Evening Tour with Meze Dinner, and Private Knossos & Food Tour. We also booked our transfers to/from the airport with greekingme as well as some more challenging logistics in Crete where we requested they hold our luggage while taking tours then transfer us to Elounda. Every single driver and guide that we had was outstanding. They were all passionate about sharing their country. They were all also very well educated and spoken outstanding English. The guides were highlights of our trip. I really can't say enough positive things about them. We also felt the vehicles were very nice and the drivers were always where they were supposed to be and on time. Each of our tours involved a food component and all of them were outstanding. I will give special note to our Heraklion food tour. I thought this one might be a bit questionable as Heraklion seemed to be more of an airport/port town. This food tour ended up being one of our teens' favorite activities (they rated it equal to the day we chartered a sailboat in Santorini!). We really enjoyed meeting the various merchants. And, the food was outstanding. It was my daughter's favorite meal of the trip! Really, truly an outstanding experience booking with greekingme!

Best Way to Do Athens in One Day with Family

Our guide, Eva, was the perfect person to show my family around Athens. She was smart, kind, and extremely knowledgable about the history and mythology. Combining the acropolis and a small food tour is a great way to squeeze in what Athens is really known for in one day. Thanks for giving my family a great day they will never forget!

Operator response

Dear Emilie, Thank you so much for your amazing review! I am absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing time with Eva, she will be delighted to hear that she made it such a memorable experience for you and your family. We would love to hear from you again next time you are in Greece - please do reach out! Kindest regards,

Excellent food tour and Acropolis sightseeing tour for a family

This tour was recommended to us by friends and I am so glad we booked! Our tour guide was Vera and she is absolutely amazing. She is so knowledgeable and really patience with our boys, 8 and 9. We started off with the Acropolis tour which she really made it so interesting for them, especially all the stories of the Gods. I highly recommend booking the private if you have younger children like us. Following the Acropolis tour we started our food tour which again Vera made extremely interesting and we loved the selection of foods from the traditional breads, the meat and fish markets, our lunch finished with delicious pastries. Thanks Vera, you made our first taste of Greece very special.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your review! We are extremely glad that we were able to create an enjoyable experience for you and your family during your stay in Athens! Vera will be especially excited to hear that your boys found their Acropolis tour and as well the variety of delicacies you tried were to your liking. We would absolutely love to hear from you again during your next visit to the country! Best wishes,

Excellent Tour/Food Guide Option

We travelled to Athens for a family Spring Break trip and couldn't be happier with our experience booking this tour. Our group of 5 included our two children (ages 3 and 5) and the guide did a great job keeping them interested and engaged throughout. The food tour stops were excellent, the history and mythology lessons were interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. She brought a binder with images and renderings of the historical sights we were seeing and notecards with the Greek gods for the kids. It was great and we highly recommend it.

A wonderful cruise excursion

We were in the port of Piraeus on a cruise and greeking me arranged for a taxi to be waiting for us at the pier. Due to traffic it was about an hour drive to the Acropolis where our tour guide was waiting for us. We were so blessed to have a guide who majored in archeology and was very knowledgeable. The food tour was interesting as well. I especially loved the market and seeing all the fish/meat for sale. They then had a driver ready to take us back to the ship. The communication by email was great and the whole tour ran seamlessly and on time. I highly recommend

Operator response

Dear Lori, It is great to hear that you enjoyed all the wonderful sights and that your tour went without any problems. Our company aims to deliver the best service, from the transfer between locations to the guide. We would absolutely love to hear from you again the next time that you’re in Greece! Best wishes,

Perfect choice for the big groups

Our company were so satisfied with the Acropolis tour and then with the dinner, all organised by Greeking.me. All communication beforehand was easily and fast. The transportation from the airport was on time, buses clean. Acropolis tour guides were excellent and friendly. The restaurant was a fantastic choice. Walking distance from the Acropolis, tasty food and great music! Almost 80 of our colleagues ended dancing. I am grateful to Greeking.me for helping me to make my colleagues so impressed with our business trip.
