What To Expect
Acropolis
The Acropolis of Athens is a rocky hill 156 meters above sea level and approximately 70 meters above the level of the city of Athens. The Parthenon is a temple built in honor of the goddess Athena, patroness of the city of Athens. Τhe architects who worked were Iktinos, Kallikratis, and possibly Phidias (5th century BC). Finally, we will see the Erechtheion with the famous Karyatidis and the Propylaea.
Parthenon
The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Its construction began in 447 BC and was completed in 438 BC, although decorations of the Parthenon continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art.

3.00The tour was really nice. The tour guide was very informative. The only issue is I would have liked the tour guide would have joined us on the tour. He told us a little bit about place and then dropped us off and we toured alone. For the price we paid, it should of been included.
Private drive, not necessarily a private tour

4.00Not bad. On time and took us around, but be aware. This is a private drive around, not necessarily a tour. The driver explained us a few things, but we are left to explore on our own. Not bad for the price, but to be noted it's not a tour.
We booked this tour last...

5.00We booked this tour last minute and it was worth it! We saw all the major landmarks, the driver was great, the van was clean and best of all we were able to move through traffic easily because of a holiday that had a lot of folks out of town.
Great last minute booking!

5.00What a great day! This was a last-minute booking and it did not disappoint Spyros picked us up promptly at our hotel. He had all of the great sites for us to see and gave us plenty of time to look around and take photos, he even made suggestions for us. Honestly, this was a great day in Athens.
Excellent half day touring Athens with driver Andres!

5.00We were in Greece for only a short period of time. Andreas and his wife created and planned a very efficient itinerary for us to see and experience as much as possible. It was the perfect balance of guiding us on the history and amazing architecture to giving us enough time to ourselves, to explore on our own. Highly recommend this company on any of their tours!
Your inside people in Athens!

5.00Had a lovely experience both during the tour with Andreas as well as with planning and hotel transfers working with Marina and Konstantinos. Andreas was very knowledgeable and personalized our experience very well. We hit all the major sights within a short time and felt we had a complete experience despite our short stay. Highly highly recommend the team for all your transportation and touring needs in Athens.
This is the tour you want !

5.00We took a tour in Athens yesterday, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Upon confirming our purchase, Marina immediately reached out to ensure all our needs were met for the tour. I shared what we wanted to see and do, and she connected us with Konstantinos, our guide for the day. He was incredibly knowledgeable, showing us both the well-known and hidden gems of Athens, while providing detailed explanations at every stop. We enjoyed our time with him far more than we anticipated, and I highly recommend him and his company for anyone looking for a top-notch tour in Athens.
