    Highly recommend for families traveling with kids! This trip was so well planned, hitting Athens’ iconic spots without any rushed chaos. Our guide George was awesome— super responsible, knowledgeable, and always looking out for the kids. For the kids, it was a fun, hands-on experience that let them soak up real Athenian vibes!

    I can't say enough great things about George! This was an amazing tour! I'm a lover of fitness and when I saw the name of this tour included Athens Hills, I immediately bought my ticket. I saw incredible views of Athens that I would have not seen otherwise. George also is a wealth of information on the history of Athens. I highly recommend this tour, it has been one of my favorites in all of my European adventures!

    This was one of the most unique tours we’ve done! George was not only knowledgeable, but also very friendly!!! We would’ve not experienced those amazing views and places on our own. The communication with George was great since the beginning and the meeting spot was easy to find. 100% recommend booking this experience! You won’t regret it!!!

  • A Fun and Active Way to Explore the City Without the Crowds

    We had such a great morning with George. He’s welcoming, easy to talk to, and really knows his stuff about Athens, from history to everyday life. The route he takes you on is the perfect mix of peaceful gardens, hidden spots, and amazing views. Climbing up to Mount Lycabettus and later to Philopappos Hill gave us some of the best views of the Acropolis we saw all trip. You don’t need to be super fit to enjoy this. It is very doable if you’re reasonably active, but you’ll definitely break a light sweat on the way up to the highest point in Athens. For us, it felt more like a fun challenge than a hard hike. What we loved most was that it never felt rushed or touristy. George made it feel like we were out exploring the city with a local friend. By the end, we not only saw incredible views, but we also felt like we had a much better sense of Athens as a whole. Easily one of the highlights of our trip, and I'd highly recommend booking this tour for a unique experience in Athens.

    We had a beautiful morning hike with George. George is very friendly and knowledgeable about a variety of history and topics. The views from both hills were spectacular, and both were fairly empty which was lovely after a very crowded trip to the Acropolis - and not too hard to climb! We highly reccomend this tour over a normal walking tour, even if you are here for a short time. The route and scenes really give you a great lay of the land. Thank you, George!

  • Highlight of our Trip to Athens!

    We were so happy to have booked this excursion with George! It was the perfect way to see the city, see scenery and go on a hike that almost no one else knows about or gets to see, and learn so much with a local Athenian! We talked with George from start to finish about Greek Culture, surrounding Greek islands, and his experiences in the city. Not only was it a great excursion, but it was the absolute perfect way to start our morning. We stay fit and regularly walk, run, and workout at home, and I would say this was a solid challenge and we worked up a sweat almost the entire hike. Thank you George for making this our favorite highlight of our time in Athens and making us feel so welcome on your tour! We would recommend it 100 times over and it is for sure the best way to learn about and see the city!

    If you are looking to escape the vibrant and bustling Athens city streets for a short while this is a great alternative. From the highest peak in Athens to the best view of the Acropolis you will see it all as you stretch the legs and fill the lungs. You will also visit the serene national gardens and the impressive Zappeion building along the way. Friendly tour guide George has impeccable English and a living knowledge of the beautiful city of Athens. We talked about history, sport, culture and food along the way. Highly recommended!
