What To Expect
Acropolis
Greece’s most famous monument that houses the pride and crown jewel of Athens, the Parthenon. Dedicated to the city’s ancient patron, Athena – the Goddess of wisdom, the Parthenon is globally considered an enduring symbol of Democracy, Culture and Civilization. Housed on top and in the surroundings of the sacred rock are some of the most important sites of the capital’s ancient heritage, such as: Propylaea, the entrance to the rock. The Temple of Wingless Victory, which was devoted to Goddess Athena-Nike. Erechtheum, with the temple’s best-known feature being its south porch, whose roof, instead of being supported on columns, rested on the heads of six Korai statues – the famous Caryatides. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a 5000-seat stone Roman theatre which was carved into the rock and is still used for music festivals The Theatre of Dionysus where the Athenians listened to the immortal works of Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides and Aristophanes.
We continue our tour by passing by the Temple of Olympian Zeus – King of the Greek Pantheon. The now half-ruined temple, which is also known as Olympieion, was at its peak consisted of 104 columns of 17 meters (56 ft) high and 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in diameter!

Lifetime of memories

5.00We loved our tour. We only had 1 day in Athens and my husband has a knee problem and can’t be walking a lot. There is no way we would be able to see that much in one day if we didn’t have a private car with a guide driving us around. We also had a licensed guide accompanying us in the historic sites like Acropolis. She was fantastic. Perfect English and she told us everything we needed to know about the sites and took lots to f pictures of us. Lifetime of memories. Best money spent on this trip.
Definitely would book again

5.00We hired this company to take us all around Athens. The driver was good, showed us things, and had a dry sense of humor that was hard to get used to, but we liked him. We saw many things packed into a day and he waited patiently for us and was great with the mobility issues with my husband.
Great day tour in Athens!

5.00Wow! What a day we had in Athens on a full day private tour. Driver and guide met us at our hotel promptly at 8am as scheduled and we saw all the sites perfectly from start to finish. Highly recommend starting with Acropolis first thing to beat the heat and the crowd. Changing of the guard was more interesting than expected. Our guide Helen was super knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended!
Great way to see Athens in one shot.

5.00This was a great way to get all of Athens in very efficiently. We had one day to see everything and didn’t want to mess around. We booked a full day tour with Kyriakos and could not have been happier. His knowledge and attention the details was incredible. This was the perfect way to effortlessly and efficiently cover the city before heading to the islands. Highly recommend.
Fantastic tour - Great pacing; relaxed and engaging

5.00Fantastic experience for the whole family. Well paced, highly informative, and strategically scheduled to avoid the cruise ship crowds. Our guide, Angel, is a trained archaeologist - clearly evident in the depth of knowledge in his comments - and he was patient with our questions. Our superb driver, Christos, navigated the tight streets of Athens with ease and offered cold water and great advice throughout the day. We even had some time for shopping after a fantastic lunch before heading back to the hotel in the afternoon. Highly, highly recommend this tour.
