Fabulous Day in Athens - We did the full day tour in Athens. We visited the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora, the Archaeological Museum, drove past many other sites such as the Academy, National Library, Parliament and others. Really enjoyed the day especially with Thenia who guided us to Mycenae, Nafplio, Epidaurus and Corinth last year. She was our guide for the Agora and Archaeological Museum. Thenia is wonderful! Our Driver Nikos was tremendous. The best ever! WarmPenguin Tours are great.

Amazing 1 Day Private Tour with Guide in Athens and Poseidon's Temple - This fantastic tour was just what we were hoping for with only 1 day to visit all the major sites in Athens. They even managed to fit in Poseidon's Temple with a lovely seaside lunch. If your time is limited, you want to skip the lines, and have an amazing private guide to all the sites, you can't do better than this tour! Thank you!!!

Totally Worth the Price & Great Way to See Athens! - Very happy we booked the Platinum option, with a private driver, tour guide and delicious lunch. It was the best way to see Athens in 8 hours and totally worth every euro.
Our driver/guide Dem was prompt, courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. He answered all of questions and kept us on schedule. We really learned a lot about Athenian and Greek history.
Our tour guide for the Acropolis and the Acropolis was EVERYTHING! Valia made our time easy and gave us an in-depth lesson on Athenian history. Usually, I breeze through monuments and museums reading only the first couple of sentences, or taking pictures and say, I’ll read it later. We didn’t have to worry about missing anything (at least that’s how we felt) with her. She was passionate about her job as a guide and excited to share her knowledge.
Oh, the lunch….you don’t order because everything is fixed. Make sure you let the company know in advance if you have dietary restrictions. There’s so much food, and I promise, you’ll have an appetite by the time you eat lunch. You’re going to leave with a full stomach.
Hands down, highly recommended option, especially if you’re time in Athens is short.
Hints: Wear a hat (that won’t blow away cause it’s windy at the top of the Acropolis) and bring plenty of sunscreen. If you have a small blowing fan, that’ll be useful as you’re walking up to the top.

Exceptional tour experience of Athens with family of 7 - What a truly exceptional experience! We booked a tour of Athens totaling 8 hours, including pickup by our driver and tour guide Dimitris from the cruise port for our party of 7. The tour Included a personalized tour of the acropolis and the museum arranged by WarmPenguin with an exceptional guide Marina, a drive through Athens with stops at multiple sites of interest, including time for lunch and shopping. We highly recommend using their professional, experienced and friendly services!

Great private tour in Athens - I've used Viator several times now and have never been disappointed. Our driver and guide (Betty) for the Athens tour were both terrific. Both were so knowledgeable and friendly. Doing a private tour is the way to go. It is much more relaxing and enjoyable than traveling around with a group. We visited many sites in the comfort of the Mercedes vehicle, and surely a highlight of the day was a terrific seaside lunch in a restaurant at Sounion. It was as if the restaurant opened just for us! There was noone else there except for the guide and driver. The very leisurely lunch of local specialties was more than we had hoped for, and then after that we managed to get back into Athens in time to see the changing of the guards. It was a most enjoyable (though VERY cold) day. I cannont recommend this tour enough. Thanks for making our Greece experience so meaningful. I would gladly use Viator and Warmpenguin again.

Amazing full day private tour - We enjoyed a full day tour with Mario who was amazing! Originally our tour was scheduled for 10:30 am and I was prompted twice to change the time to 7:30 or 8:30 am to avoid long lines. Twice I responded to Emma with the tour company and I assumed our start time had been changed due to responding in the Viator app. Unfortunately, it had not. After a long day of travel from usa we awakened with no tour guide. Totally not Mario’s fault !! He was awesome! But beware and make sure they confirm.

Get the Guide, It’s a Must - Nice tour, but choose the guide and premium option if you’re interested. Anything less when on your own and it’s difficult to navigate the sites due to the massive crowds. Do yourself a favor and get the guide.
