Private Athens Landmarks Layover Tour

Perfect way to spend time before getting on the plane. A quick way to see the best of Athens. Just note it does not include entry tickets to anything.

Rominou was a great driver, very friendly and informative. I highly recommend this tour, it will not disappoint.

Terrible airport transfer. They were supposed to be waiting in the arrivals area with a sign, instead I got a text that they were just going to pull up to the curb, then had to wait 30 minutes after clearing customs and getting our baggage. The driver drove very aggressively and recklessly. We had booked a second transfer from our hotel to the port and it was cancelled two hours prior to the scheduled pickup. Thankfully my hotel arranged a taxi and it was 10 euros less than I had paid through Welcome Pickups.

We had a wonderful morning with our guide Ilias Kanteres. A terrific way to see some of Athens with an expert! We would highly recommend.

George made our arrival in Athens feel effortless. He picked us up in a beautiful luxury Mercedes Sprinter, which was an absolute dream after a long flight… tons of space for luggage, clean, comfortable, and honestly just such a smooth ride into the city. But what really stood out was George himself. So kind, warm, and welcoming… the kind of person who instantly puts you at ease when you’re in a new place. He shared helpful tips, made sure we were taken care of, and you could just tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. If you’re looking for a reliable, comfortable, and genuinely lovely start to your time in Athens, George is your guy. Couldn’t recommend him more 🤍

John was an amazing tour guide. I had a great time on the layover tour, he was interesting knew everything about Athens history. Showed me a lot of cool spots. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone whether solo or small group. 5/5 and A++ overall!

Glykeria was my guide. She covered as many important sites as we could in 5 hours and filled me in on the history as well. It was a very interesting tour and was worth every Euro I paid for it. Thank you so much Glykeria, you have a heart of gold!

George was awesome. Literally the best layover we’ve ever had - perfect way to tour Athens quickly efficiently and enjoyably. We recommend.

From start to finish of our Personal Tour. We, my sister and I, found Jonathan, Viator Agent, organising our Tour via phone call and Themos, our assigned Personal Tour Guide, so professional, supportive, friendly and both of them, went the extra mile for us, in difficult situations. Jonathan had great patience and was so supportive on the phone getting all our details to organise online and Themos, due to my sister's mobility limititations and our mistake with misbooking a Museum ticket, conversed with staff at Acropolis Slopes and got us Disability Assist to enable us to visit this amazing Archaelogical tteasure, which really made our Tour so special and without Themos's expert , professional and friendly manner with staff at eentrance to A S, there's no way this would of happened for us. He was so nice, shared so much history and personal experience, made our Tour so comfortable, enjoyable. Themos was on the phone to us, connecting at all time, for our collection points etc. He was a true pleasure and filled us in on required local information. Was early on his pickup for us at Port Pireaus and early and efficient with our dropoff at Athen's Airport, filling us in with all necessary details needed in Airport. Themos was great fun too and so interactive, relaxed and patient. We strongle recommed Viatour. Many, many thanks. Cecilia and Patricia, Dublin, Ireland.

We got the best view for the changing of the guard at the president house. We then got to go through the national garden. We then went to the Olympic stadium and a hill top with a church. We also went to the academy next to the national library. We also got to see palaka shopping center and got great recommendations for food. Everywhere we went we got informational stories and personal stories. Our guide Glykeria was the best. We would choose her every time.
