Informative, thorough, and relaxing.
Published on Jun, 2024
This tour gave us the perfect amount of ‘in vehicle’ time to cool down before hitting the next outdoor site (in 96 degree F temps). Our driver was fun and informative as we drove from destination to destination and he was flexible with the schedule so we were able to see everything we needed to see around Athens.
A wonderful day in Athens!!!
Published on Dec, 2023
We had an Amazing Athens Private Tour including all the highlights of Athens like the Acropolis Hill, the Parthenon, Temple of Zeus, Olympic Stadium, Ancient Agora and the Acropolis Museum! Our guests from the United States had a lifetime experience. Our driver and licenced guide were so passionate and knowledgable! Thank you for this amazing day!
The tour was awe inspiring!

Alex was a great story teller and tour guide. We had a great experience and would book again in the future.
If you have limited time in Athens this is the tour to take
Published on Jul, 2022
We can highly recommend this tour if you have limited time. Our guide, Alex was 5 minutes early and waiting for us right outside the hotel entrance. He was a delight. A History graduate with a gregarious nature he offered great advice on the best time to visit which sites taking into account traffic, the heat, and the visitor numbers at each site as the day progressed. He smartly attuned the level of detail provided to the types of questions we asked. The value we derived from this bespoke tour was absolutely worth the price paid.
