5.00Sergio and Demi were fantastic tour guides for our private Athens tour! They were attentive, friendly, and made sure our family had a wonderful experience. They even had soft drinks available and gave my daughter a chocolate for her birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend them for anyone visiting Athens!
Fab experience from start to finish

5.00Was contacted in advance who agreed to collect us from airport, complete tour and drop at hotel. Was taken to all sites, temples, ruins and views and provided with a lot of information from Andy which helped in the understanding and history of each stop. Water and crisps provided in the air conditioned Mercedes. Athens is a crazy city but I always felt safe with Andy’s driving skills. We also purchased skip the line Acropolis tickets and after a short uphill walk were straight in. I often do my own itinerary but at 33 degrees and such a busy city this tour was a well made decision excellently executed by a brilliant guide. Don’t hesitate to book.

5.00The half day tour of Athens was a great idea. Kostis was an excellent guide. Professional, knowledgeable, punctual and fun to talk. We use the company more than once for other trips as well and we had great experience every time.
Absolutely amazing private tour

5.00This tour was phenomonal! Sebastian was an amazing guide, so knowledgable and friendly! My daughter's wish was for spanikopita, and he took us to a place we never would have found on our own for the best spanikopita we have ever had. We got to see all the highlights of Athens and learned a lot from Sebastian. The tour ended at a restaurant we never would have found on our own, and it was absolutely delicious! Do not hesitate on the tour or this company! The only thing I would do differently is opt for a car upgrade. I didn't realize the back seat would have a hump on the floor. It was a very nice and clean car, just a little snug for 4 adults plus our driver. This was totally my fault.
Seize the day!

5.00Talk about making a day count! Our day with Paddy started early and we finished feeling like we conquered Athens in a day! He had a way of sharing the historic events that even kept our teenagers interested. We followed the outline of the tour but we were able to spend time at locations that were of more interest to us. Our lunch break was delicious and gave us a chance to enjoy a great local meal. Who can beat ending the day on the beach!
Good tour but plan for earlier in the day

5.00It was a really good experience. I would say please do this tour earlier in the day. There is a lot to see and you don't want to miss anything because certain places have close for the day. Also, make sure you have good walking shoes. You will see a lot.
Thoroughly great experience from start to finish

5.00Exceptional service from start to finish. Andy kept in touch prior to our experience and once he collected us from the airport we had a wonderful and informative tour taking in all the impressive sites and temples and ruins. We were provided with water and crisps and a comfortable air conditioned Mercedes. We had prebooked Skip the line Acropolis tickets through Andy and he planned it exactly. It was nice to understand the tour with the prior knowledge he had provided us with. Other tours were offered but not pushed, however if we were doing another tour I wouldn’t hesitate calling Andy and using this tour company
Fabulous Private Tour in Athens
Edward D,Jun 10, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Elton was a fabulous tour guide for our half day private tour of Athens. He was prompt and communicated in advance. His knowledge of the sights and Greek history is amazing. He did everything he could to make our day comfortable and exciting. We couldn’t have had a better sightseeing day in Athens. Nor could we have seen a quarter of what we did on our own. Elton was the best.
Manos is the BEST tour guide!

5.00My husband and I had the BEST tour guide for our half day tour of Athens! Manos has incredible knowledge of the city and we learned so much about the history of Athens, the culture, the people, the food (we had a delicious lunch on the tour), the important landmarks - he gave us a wonderful overview of Athens, was easy to talk with, very willing and able to answer any questions, and gave us plenty of time to explore. The time flew by! I would highly recommend this tour with Manos as your guide!
