Private Athens & Acropolis Highlights and Mythological Tour

A wonderful tour of the acropolis and an excellent perspective via the focus on mythology. A lovely tour guide who was very knowable.

We were so pleased with Alternative Athens! From transportation needs to our 15 hour custom private tour they were prompt and made sure we were comfortable. Our tour guide Christina was a knowledgeable historian! 5 stars and would recommend to anyone going to Athens!!

Fantastic company and outstanding guide! Marialena was extremely accommodating helping us craft the perfect tour for our family and out guide (my apologies for not remembering her name) was excellent. She was knowledgeable and energetic which made for a wonderfully memorable day. I highly recommend Alternative Athens for any guided tours you may be considering.

We had a fantastic experience on the **Private Mythology Athens** tour with **Alternative Athens** last Friday. We were a family of four with two children (21 and 16), and despite the very hot weather, the tour was enjoyable from start to finish. Our guide, **Mene**, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, giving us fascinating insights into the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora through the lens of Greek mythology. She made the history come alive and kept everyone interested throughout. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of ancient Athens!

Our group of 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 4, 7, 9, 9, and 11) booked the private Athens Highlights Mythology Tour, and it was absolutely the best decision we made. From start to finish, it turned what could have been a stressful day into a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. Our guide was wonderful. She was able to keep all five kids engaged for the entire 4 hours. The children enjoyed the mythology stories, and the adults learned a good amount as well. It was the perfect balance of education and entertainment for everyone. What really set this tour apart was how effortless it made navigating the crowded sites of the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora. Having a guide to lead the way, skip the logistical headaches, and find the best spots for the kids to explore made our lives so much easier. The biggest surprise was how energized we felt afterward. Even though the tour was 4 hours long, our guide paced it so perfectly that we weren't exhausted. We actually had the energy to visit the Acropolis Museum in the evening, armed with all the context we had just learned. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough for families. It transformed our visit into a relaxing, educational, and genuinely enjoyable experience.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I learned so much. It is a must do in Athens.

Extraordinary experience with our guide Antonia who captivated us from start to finish. We can’t hold everything back, but we’re happy with all the information we’ve shared.

Our tour guide, Costas, was amazing. He was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable that he was able to bring the history of the area to life. You need to be aware that it is a very physically demanding walk. I’m an out of shape 50 year old that could do it. But I certainly slept well afterwards. Overall an awesome tour.

Our tour guide Antonia Konstantiou was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. Highly recommended the tour and ask for Antonia!!!

This was an amazing tour. The tour guide was so engaging and so knowledgeable. I’m so glad we did this tour. We were blown away by her knowledge base and stories. This is a must do tour if you are into Greek Mythology!
