Wonderful overview of Athens. Great driver. - We booked Glykeria for a second time to show us many of the Athens sights we hadn’t seen yet before we embarked on our cruise . She arrived promptly at our hotel and drove us all around while explaining everything in detail and allowing us to get the best photos possible. We ended with Lycabettus Hill which affords an amazing overview of the entire city of Athens & its environs. So valuable to have her knowledge and experience to give us an opportunity to see so much in several hours.

Informative friendly tour by 7th generation Anthens resident - Very informative tour by 7th generation Anthens resident. She knows all the inside scoops and when and where is worth going. The driver was prompt and friendly. Although Athens is a very walkable city, there is a lot of walking in between sights. My husband had a leg injury 4 weeks before our trip and this tour ensured we were able to see everything and experience the beautiful city of Athens!

Amazing Half Day Private Tour - Highly recommend this tour, our private driver Glykeria was so amazing and knowledgable. You really get to see everything quickly in central Athens on this tour. Glykeria was so caring in making sure we got to see everything and even takes photos for you!! If there’s anything extra they can do they will e.g. seeing changing of the guard. An amazing way to see all the top Athenian destinations. Me and my partner had the best day!! Again, highly recommend!

Four hours well spent - Athens is an amazing city and Stavros was an amazing guide and great host. He took us to the main attractions in Athens like the Acropolis and the Parhenon. Stavros was knowledgable and very responsive with all of our questions. Recommended when you have a small amount of time to spend in Athens.

Short on time in Athens? Take this tour. - We only had one day in Athens so we wanted to book a private tour to make the most of our limited time. This tour was perfect. Panos was an excellent guide - very engaging, knowledgeable and obviously very passionate about his city and its history. We saw all the highlights and a few spots more off the beaten path. Panos also gave us a lot of advice on places to try and tips to navigate around Athens on our departure day. Would recommend this trip 100%. The only advice I would offer is that if you are going into the Acropolis, make sure you leave enough time for the line to get in.
