Traveler reviews
Athens in a day
This was the best way to see Athens in a day. Our guide was amazing. The knowledge shared was brilliant. Our guide was attentive and funny making the whole experience perfect. The local restaurant, that served authentic Greek food for lunch was unbelievably tasty and trust me, you are left feeling very satisfied. I would highly recommend this tour, you certainly get your money's worth. Thanks for a brilliant time!!
Highly recommend the full day Athens tour!
We had a wonderful full day tour of Athens! Aris was so knowledgeable about each and every stop. He pointed out fun and interesting things that we would have missed without his advice. Aris was very accommodating to our needs. Our group had visited Lycabettus Hill the day before so he gave us some suggestions of other things to see which was a perfect for us. The lunch was very enjoyable and filling! Absolutely worth the money. We visited all of Athens highlights in a day and enjoyed the AC and comfort of the very nice and roomy van.
Amazing Time in Athens
What an incredible day we spent with our guide Aris. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Greece. He was very good at organizing our day so that we could see everything at the least crowded times. We would totally do this again with him!
Outstanding Athens Tour with Dimitris! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing day touring Athens with Dimitris! He brought incredible energy, a positive attitude, and a deep knowledge of the city that made every stop more meaningful. He navigated Athens traffic with ease, knew all the best shortcuts, and kept the day running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. One of the highlights was a fantastic lunch that was included, and we especially appreciated his flexibility. He happily customized the itinerary so we could visit the National Archaeological Museum, which ended up being one of our favorite experiences. Best of all, he made sure we were back at the cruise port exactly at the time requested, giving us complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, personable, flexible, and genuinely wants you to have the best possible experience in Athens, we highly recommend Dimitris!
5 out 5 great Tour
Our driver Tolis was absolutely great he went above and beyond to make our day special. Everything was timed to perfection and Tolis did a great job of explaining the history and the significants of each site. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an easy well rounded tour of Athens especially if it’s your first time visiting.
