A memorable and meaningful tour - Our guide, Demetrius, packed a mass of facts into a fascinating and entertaining few hours at the Acropolis and museum. We had the sense that there wasn't a question we could ask that he couldn't answer, with easy-to-absorb and surprising details. He's an archaeologist who actually worked on the site, and his dedication to its preservation was impressive. The experience couldn't have been as memorable and meaningful as it was for us without him. And you don't have to take selfies -- Demetrius is a great photographer.

Greeting.me is a MUST!! - This was a difficult tour for our older participant, but our guide took her time and we stopped and she taught us things while we were catching our breath. A private tour with Greeking.me is the best way to see and learn things. They were wonderful and met our needs on every front!

Excellent Tour. Highly Recommend!! - We had an excellent tour with Xenia that literally ended 5 minutes ago. It was wonderful!! I heartily recommend both Xenia and Greeking.me for booking your tour. It was just my wife and me and we had a great time. We described what we were looking to do and Xenia and Greeking.me customized the tour for us and made it happen. I couldn’t recommend them more.

Highly Recommend! - My husband and I went on the Best of Athens tour and it was great! We got to see all of the best that Athens has to offer with a very knowledgeable guide. She even took us to a great local spot for lunch. It was just the 2 of us so we got to ask as many questions as we wanted and able to customize it to what we wanted to see/highlight. Highly recommend if you only have 1-2 days in Athens!

Great day...great experience - We had a great day visiting Acropolis, Pantheon, Acropolis Museum, Panathenaic Stadium (home of 1st Modern Olympic Games) and Lycabettus Hill! The Best of Athens Tour was a great way to make the most of a short visit to Athens. Our guide was very knowledgable and made our day very enjoyable.

Great Day in Athens - Our guide Anthi did a wonderful job during the tour. We had two in our group who have knee or hip issues and Anthi was very attuned to that and chose routes and provided pacing that allowed them to enjoy the tour. Her knowledge of classical architecture and ancient history was very impressive, and she made it very relatable. Anthi also gave excellent commentary during our tour of the city. We appreciated that she joined us for a brief coffee break and for lunch, as it allowed us to continue learning more about Athens.

A Special Day in Athens - Amazing Tour! Communication was perfect. The plan of tour was laid out in a logical sense. Walking the Acropolis & Museum followed by a van tour. One can have a so-so guide or a fantastic guide. Our overall feeling is this company provides well educated guides. Greece has strict policies on Historic Guides, if not educated at the university in history (or similar) they must attend the guide school for 2.5 years. We were greeted at our Airbnb on time and progressed on foot to the Acropolis (for us a short walk). Our guide knew exactly where to stop and talk to bypass the crowds, and shaded seating areas to avoid the sun to rest. She understood we were average tourist and not historians thus kept her explanations aimed at her audience. She did not tell the history in a rote manner, but fresh. It was obvious her depth of knowledge was vast. Our guide knew exactly where the best photo opportunities and was more than generous offering to take photos of our group of four. We were on our 12th day in Greece--our legs worn out and opted not to go into the museum. (I know, shame on us.) Our guide XIANA quickly adapted with a recommendation of a lovely restaurant, and we thoroughly enjoyed her company at lunch. She further adjusted by adding an additional stop on the van tour. Complements to Xiana for her knowledge and fun personality. The van was new, sparkling clean and the driver Alexander excellent in the difficult rush hour traffic. Once the fees and taxes added this was our most expensive tour of nine in Greece, but well worth it-- Professional and met our expectations. Happy to be educated and entertained by Xiana.
