Being the cradle of the modern civilization,Parthenon temple stands high above the city of Athens and it is an endless symbol of the ancient Greek history.
An ancient stadium made completely out of marble that hosted the first modern Olympic games of 1896 and it is still used today as a finishing point for the Athens Classic Marathon every year.
This high and steep cliff serves as an optimal observation point of the whole city all the way down to the sea.Also there is a typical greek orthodox church right on the top.

We very much enjoyed and appreciated the competent, friendly, and pleasant tour of Athens by Ted. We highly recommend the service and would book with Athens experiences again at any time.
Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte. Ich freue mich darauf, Sie bald wiederzusehen!
Ted was a wonderful guide; very knowledgeable with personality plus! He arranged for entrance fees and provided plenty of chilled water on a very hot day. We would highly recommend Ted!
Thank you for your kind words! It was my real pleasure meeting and looking forward to seeing you again soon. Ps. Hope you were successful in shopping and attending your dinner
This was a great experience for me and my kids. Ted is very knowledgeable and always have a bottle of cold water on the ready for everyone.
Thank you for your kind words! It has been my pleasure meeting you and looking forward to seeing you again soon!
The absolute best!! It was like having a member of the family sharing Athens with us.
Thank you for your kind words! Looking forward to seeing you again soon in Athens!
Ted( was wonderful! He gave us the background, history and the meaning of all the sites. We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant that tourists would most likely not find on their own. Every aspect of our tour was spectacular! Book Ted and you won’t be disappointed!
You're family too and you know. It's only a matter of time until we meet again and I am really looking forward to it.
Ted was amazing, he loves his country and which made the whole experience 6 star service. I am Greek American which makes meeting Ted more special. We will be lifelong friends.
I cannot express with words how grateful I feel for meeting you! Thanks again for everything. Like you said we will meet again for sure. Looking forward to that!!!
Ted’s ability to vary our tour as we had seen some things already was amazing. We took two tours and saw so much including the temple of Poseidon and all along the coast. It really was fabulous.
Thank you for this amazing review! It was really my pleasure meeting you and looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Our private Athens city tour with Ted was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. From the moment we met him, we felt welcomed and completely at ease. His passion for Athens, its history, and its culture made every stop come alive. Ted was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories and historical details that gave us a much deeper appreciation for the city. The private tour allowed us to explore at our own pace, ask questions, and truly enjoy thr Acropolis without feeling rushed. We had the opportunity to watch the changing of the guards which was an incredible experience. His recommendations, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made the day even more special. If you're visiting Athens and want an informative, personalized, and unforgettable experience, we highly recommend booking a private tour with Ted. Thank you for making our time in Athens so memorable!
Your kind words and appreciation is our fuel for moving forward and providing even more incredible experiences! It was my absolute pleasure meeting you and your lovely family and really looking forward to seeing you again soon and discover more of this amazing place that we have the shared privilege to call home.
Ted was amazing and we had a great full day in Athens. He picked us up in the airport and we did the Athens private tour, and I the afternoon we did the temple of Poseidon. He organized the full logistics, including a guide for the acropolis. We fully recommend him and for sure we will contact him again for more experiences in Athens! Thanks a lot Ted!
It was my pleasure meeting you and your lovely family and showing you around our beautiful country! Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Very informative and interesting route around Athens. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind words. It was my pleasure showing you around our beautiful city and looking forward to seeing you again soon.
