Mobile ticket
We visit Athens as travelers, not as tourists. We get as excited as you to travel, to enjoy history/culture, scenery, photography.
If you want to see everything that Athens has to offer, then we suggest both modern & classical Athens sites in a full day tour. The day starts with convenient pickup and then takes you to the Acropolis Hill, Zeus Temple, Olympic stadium, Plaka, ancient & modern Agora, Lycavetus hill and many more.
Schedule is flexible, but most importantly we can drive on small roads and you will see Athens from all different angles. We are dedicated to show you the Athens we know and love, as travelers and not as tourists and for this reason we will avoid the tourist traps. You also have the flexibility to explore each attraction independently or add a licensed archaeologist guide (extra cost).

5.00Incredible visit to Athens, we did a private tour with Nikos, treated us wonderfully. From the Acropolis to the city center, through a cafeteria and a typical souvlakis restaurant highly recommended, Nikos took us to the ideal places to be able to enjoy Athens to the full with the short time we had. Recommended 200% and thank Nikos for the pleasant experience.

5.00A great tour with Nikos. This is our second tour with him, and as always, it was incredible. This time we took a cruise, and during our stop in Athens, I didn't hesitate to book him. He showed us the best spots in the city.

5.00We had an amazing trip with Christos. He was so kind and full of information and we learnt so much about Greece. A very safe driver and a very nice man. He gave us water and also some nice book about Greece and postcards too. I was traveling with my elderly parents and the ac was amazing in the car in the heat. A wonderful tour with Christos we highly recommend him.
Great day trip option after disembark ing early from cruise ship.

5.00Christos was the very best of guides to help us enjoy our one day in Athens. He shared the views of the Acropolis from heights and perspectives that took our breath away. He helped us feel like we were with a friend who wanted to share the city he lives in and loves. When traffic delays caused us to miss the changing of the guard, no problem! He just looped us back in later in the day. It never felt rushed and we came away, hoping that every future tour we booked would be as good as this one.
AMAZING ATHENS TOUR! REQUEST PHILLIP!!!

5.00We booked this tour through Viator.com. When we arrived in Athens, Greece on 09/27/2022, we were greeted by a gentleman named Phillip. Oh, how lucky we were to have Phillip as our tour guide. He was very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and most of all, WONDERFUL! Phillip made our full day private tour an experience of a lifetime. We visited every place on our bucket list and more. We were never rushed or made to feel as if we weren't important. Everyone in our group continues to praise Phillip because he became part of our group. Phillip, you are a special man and we will never forget you. Thank you for time and effort, it is cherished by our entire group. IF YOU WANT AN ALL DAY PRIVATE TOUR IN ATHENS, BOOK WITH THIS OPERATOR AND REQUEST PHILLIP :-)
