  • 5Private Tour that does not disappoint.

    We were impressed with every aspect of our Private Tour. Dimitrios arrived at our meeting place in a beautiful Mercedes Sedan and was so welcoming. He confirmed if we had booked Acropolis, and shaped the day to accommodate. We could not have had a better experience, highly recommend booking this Private Tour.

  • 5History - Culture - Yamas!

    This was such a wonderful day with Dimitri. His communication the day of kept us informed and prepared. He was our driver, guide, historian, cultural expert, and more. A native of Athens, he treated us as family and took great care of us throughout our entire visit. There was something for everyone in our family. I received a full history lesson. My sister had her full cultural experience. And mom enjoyed a safe and customized escort throughout Athens. As an addition to our trip we were able to have an authentic Greek meal with a wonderful harbor view. We even learned so Greek. Ignore my spelling: Eff-harry-sto!

  • 5A Passion for Athens

    Konstantinos was a Prince! He knew where I wanted to go before I knew myself. Knowledgeable about Athens and passionate about Greek history, Konstantinos was the perfect intermediary between a first-time visitor and this beautiful, significant city. He knew where to go and how to get the perfect access. My pictures should credit Konstantinos. This was a perfect day!

  • 5I would highly recommend...

    I would highly recommend this tour if you are short on time in Athens. We were able to see all the highlights in one morning/afternoon (about 5 hours). If you can, ask for Thoukis to be your tour guide. He was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. When he heard my husband loved soccer and loved to visit stadiums he went out of his way to take us to a stadium and shop at the team store. He gave us a great recommendation for lunch and shopping after the tour and gave us suggestions for places to go in the evening.

About Athens

Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.

The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.

Top-ranked sights in Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
