A lovely day exploring Athens and its surroundings - We thoroughly enjoyed this full day tour of Athens and its surroundings. In the morning we went to the Acropolis where a licensed guide explained the history of the region and about each of the buildings in the area. Then we returned to our mini-bus where another guide told us more about the city. We stopped at major tourist spots(such as the changing of the guards at the Parliament, the Olympic station etc). Finally, we explored Plaka and the city center area where we had a little more than 3 hours to have lunch and explore on our own. Our hotel was nearby so we went and rested after lunch for a bit, before we set off again for the second part of the tour which was the sunset trip to the Temple of Poseidon. The drive there was very pleasant and the sunset was very beautiful. On the way, our guide told us about the region and we stopped at a lake. Overall, this tour gave us a very good overview of the city and was very comfortable!

This was a great tour to... - This was a great tour to do at the beginning of our trip to learn about Athens, its history, and sights. Our guides were fantastic. It was nice that we went to Acropolis early before it became too crowded. The guide at Acropolis was fun and knowledgeable; however, sometimes we would lose him in the crowd - would be helpful if he carried a flag to help locate him.

Small group tour with a great guide - Stefania was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and Alexandros was a great and friendly driver. The stop to see Lake Vouliagmeni was a nice photo stop. Stefania also recommended that we visit Anafiotika in the Plaka when we returned to Athens. What a great recommendation! I was looking for a small group tour and it was exactly that. I think we had 13 people in the mini-bus. The sad part of the trip was the weather and we didn't get the beautiful sunset, but the site was still amazing.

Unforgettable Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon with an Expert Guide - George was an exceptional guide, brimming with an impressive depth of knowledge about Greek history, mythology, and beyond. The sunset at the Temple of Poseidon is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting Athens. It’s well worth the drive and offers a stunning escape from the bustling city sights, especially in April.Highly recommend this unforgettable experience!

A day in Athens. - My brother and I visited greece in November. As it was his first time I wanted a nice all day tour that combines the best of Athens. This was the perfect tour. It combined la guided all inclusive tour of the Acropolis, the Olympian Stadium, National Gardens and guard parade and a visit to Plaka, all in the morning. Our tour guide was Theo. Then in the afternoon we went to the Poseidon Temple and that close the day spectacularly. Theo provided us with the right amount of knowledge, stories, and suggestions all in an amicable, fun way. He even learned our names. Highly recommended and if Theo is your tour guide even better.

Excellent Full Day Tour - My husband and I loved this tour. Ilianna was our guide throughout the entire day and she was so wonderful. Very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. She also gave us amazing restaurant and bar recommendations which were highlights of our time in Athens. I believe there are two versions of the tour, we opted for the all day tour which included the Temple of Poseidon. Being there at sunset was truly magical and great for photos if that's your thing. I will say if you are limited on time in Athens you can perhaps skip the Temple of Poseidon portion of the tour as it is a bit of a drive. Nonetheless for us it was the highlight. Overall the tour was well organized and a good balance of breaks/downtime but also covering a lot of ground. Thank you Getaways Greece for a very memorable experience

Great tour, especially if short on time - The tour started on time. We had three guides, Danae for the morning city part, Mikaela for the Acropolis part, and Theodore for the afternoon part. Danae gave us a lot of information about the city of Athens, its history and customs. Mikaela gave us a lot of information about the Acropolis and some Greek history too. Theodore was my favorite. He was not only knowledgeable but also charismatic. He made the tour go by quickly. During the tour we were able to visit all scheduled sites which was a nice surprise. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if short on time. The drivers were great too. You definitely get your money’s worth.

long sunset - Enjoyed the Athens city part more than the long drive out to the Temple of Poseidon. it wasn't so much the drive but the excessive time spent at the location patiently waiting for the sun to set.
