5.00We only had one day in Athens, so we booked this tour in hopes of seeing as much as possible in a limited time. It exceeded our expectations! Our driver, Michael, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and he gave us a rundown on each of the sites we were visiting in between stops. He was also flexible and we adjusted our schedule throughout the day based on what we really wanted to see and how much time we spent at each stop.
Best tour - excellent communication and professionalism!

5.00From start to finish our tour was incredible! Alex not only caught that our flight had changed and let us know so we wouldn’t miss the tour, but provided incredible skills throughout the day. He was professional, knowledgeable, funny and an excellent driver. We got to see things we didn’t even plan on seeing, with a history lesson added in! We had the best day - did not feel rushed at all visiting any of the sights and really enjoyed learning about the region. Bonus was that Alex timed everything perfectly so we were ahead of the crowds at the most popular places. Perfect day!

Admission costs 20€ each and it's money wasted

1.00We went in the day by car and arrived at the entrance they asked us 20 € to take a walk of 100 meters and to see a dozen columns above a rock. Wasted money. You can still see it from the outside. Besides the columns there is nothing. The same sea view can be admired from a bar that is there before the entrance. In Athens much larger and more beautiful sites are free. AVOID
Outstanding day out …. Great value for money

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic day on this full-day tour. The itinerary was well planned, covering all the highlights without ever feeling rushed. Each stop gave us plenty of time to explore, take photos, and really enjoy the experience. What made the day truly special, though, was our driver, Alex. From the moment we were picked up, he was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the region. He shared fascinating insights along the way, making the journey between stops just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. His driving was smooth and safe, and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group was comfortable and happy. Alex’s enthusiasm and genuine care made the tour feel personal and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting – and if you’re lucky enough to have Alex as your driver, you’re in for a wonderful experience!

Great Athens Private Tour

5.00We were scheduled for a 11am tour but due to the taxi strike in Athens our taxi driver canceled the airport pickup to hotel transport. I contacted Viator and asked if they could pick us up at the airport and they were able to accommodate us. We had a full day private tour with Nick P and started our tour earlier. He stores our luggage and was a perfect gentlemen. He gave us a complete tour of Athens and arranged a late lunch at a nice family seaside seafood restaurant with beautiful ocean views. We were exhausted from the overnight flight by then end of the tour but were so pleased of our first day in Athens
