Top Of The Line - We could not have asked for a better tour of Athens! From the Acropolis to the changing of the guards at Parliament to the Acropolis Museum and more, was handled beautifully by our driver and licensed guide. V was very knowledgeable, friendly and full of great background information. The whole day was a pleasure.

The bestest way to see Athens! - Panos and Alex were our guides for the day. And not only did they keep us entertained the whole time, but they also gave us a lot of information about the different monuments and ruins that were a part of the tour. Even though they could not accompany inside these spots, they made it a point to let us know everything there was to know about them including the rich history of these places. They were extremely patient (especially with me as I attended a work call in the middle of the tour!) and even helped us find a halal Indian restaurant in Athens. Thank you guys for making our trip so special :)

Fantastic tour Company - The tour is only as good as the Guide and the driver. Our driver, Michael L. was fantastic, he made the trip. He was accommodating, knowledgeable and a really nice guy. He was with us the 4 days and all the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable. Private tours is the only way to go!!! Thanks, we enjoyed every minute.

Athens came alive! - Outstanding tour! Our driver was excellent and friendly. The licensed guide was incredibly well educated about the history of the Acropolis and other ancient sites in Athens. She communicated clearly and answered all of our questions patiently. Her English was superb. I don't think you can go wrong with HP Yours.

Excellent Full Day Private Tour of Athens with Helen and Panos - Our group of 7 (5 adults and 2 preteen girls) was absolutely thrilled with our full-day private tour of Athens. Hellenic Private Tours was super responsive and answered all our questions beforehand. They told us exactly what we needed to do to get tickets in advance to all the sites. Our guide Helen and our driver Panos met us in front of the cruise port and took great care of us. We headed straight to the Acropolis and loved seeing the Parthenon and other sites there. We then went to the Ancient Agora, stopped at a restaurant for lunch, and did other sights, like the Olympic Stadium and the changing of the guard. We ended up not doing the Acropolis Museum and instead went souvenir shopping at Plaka, which was a lot of fun. Helen was super knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. She helped us better appreciate the history of the ancient buildings we saw. Panos was a super driver weaving through all the traffic in Athens. We loved this tour and would highly recommend going with Hellenic Private Tours. They were first-rate all around.

Great Day in Athens - Tour was an excellent introduction to the major historical and current day sites in Athens. Sufficient time was given to explore the Acropolis, the Agora and the Acropolis Museum. Although not able to accompany guests to historical sites, Jimmy our tour guide was terrific in giving context to each site visited. He was very knowledgeable He also carefully arranged each drop off and pickup——it was all seamless. In all, a great day spent.
