Outstanding. Our guide Artistotle is so enthusiastic about Athens, the city he grew up in. He studied archeology and history and is a wealth of knowledge. Don’t try and see these sites without having a Guide bring it all to life for you - it is so worth it.

The hill of Acropolis is the highlight of the tour, where you will have the opportunity to look upon all ancient places of Acropolis including Herodes Atticus, the Temple of Athena Nike, Propylea, Erechteum and Parthenon. The tour will last about 2 hours with licensed guide or less without licensed guide.
Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Plympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of Athens.
Panathenaic Stadium is the place where the first modern Olympic Games held in 1896.
By the side of the National Garden visitors can see the changing of the guard in front of the old palace above the central square of Athens.
Panepistimiou Street is the most historical streets to see numerous 19th century, neoclassical buildings and the trilogy( The Academy - The University - The National Library)
In the new museum of Acropolis everyone can enjoy the ancient exhibits with or without licensed guide.
In the shadow of the Acropolis and its ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes and local ceramics. Sidewalk cafes and family-run tavernas stay open until late, and Cine Paris shows classic movies al fresco. Nearby, the whitewashed homes of the Anafiotika neighborhood give the small enclave a Greek-island vibe, where we can have a stop to taste traditional greek food.

Our Guide Theodore was fantastic and very attentive. He made sure even though at some times it drizzled rain he had an umbrella for us to use. He drove us to all drop offs so we did not have to walk far to the attraction. He even bought our tickets for us ahead of time to be sure we had tickets to timed attractions that we would not have know about. Theodore had already mapped out our itinerary to be sure we covered all sights in one day which is what we ask. Wonderful experience.
Panno, our driver and guide was phenomenal. He was very courteous, knowledgable and entertaining. I highly recommend him as it made our tour very enjoyable.
Aris knew the city and it's attractions. He listened to what we needed, was very professional and personable.
Aristóteles our tour guide was absolutely perfect. It was an amazing perfect day. My husband love the history and secret facts about Greece. The itinerary was excellent. We cover all the most important things to see without crowds and lines. Aristóteles was constantly making sure we had a great time . I absolutely recommend a private tour specially with Aristóteles. A wise and well educated tour guide. I'm a world traveler. 114 countries and he's part of my top 3 your guides .
Aris was a wonderful tour guide, he was well informed and allowed us to dictate what we would like to do on the tour. He patiently answered all of my questions and was very kind and courteous throughout the entire tour. We got to experience most of the downtown area of Athens and had a wonderful lunch at the Marina. He even surprised us with a secret spot or two that I won’t divulge here lol. Once again it was a wonderful time, he made my birthday that much better so thank you 🇬🇷🤎.
Aristotelis takes his tours personal. We were lucky to ride with him as his knowledge and grace were really delightful. His having served in the guard made our experience at the changing of the guard feel personal. The tour was an educational experience because Aristotelis has studied his country’s history and culture and is very good at explaining at a basic level, the Greek history. The tour is well worth the money we paid and I would recommend it to all my friends and family if they were to visit Athens.
We had an AMAZING tour with Aristotelis. You can do Athens on your own to see the sites but having a guide made such a difference. He made sure to make us feel comfortable to ask questions and make it clear to us that we directed the tour and that we was flexible based on our timing and needs. On top of that he was so knowledgeable. We got way more out of this than any audio guided or walking tour. Not to mention the ACed car from destination to destination was unbeatable; our guide knew exactly where we’d get tired and even met us outside the car with water bottles hahaha. Overall the tour was amazing and Aristotelis was the best guide we could have asked for. The personal touch he added to each location made a world of difference and it was an experience my partner and I will remember forever. Thank you for making our day in Athens so great!!
We were on a Mediterranean Cruise that eneded in Athens and out of all the tours this was the absolute best. Arestolis is the best!
After reading about this tour here at Tripadvisor, I got in touch with Fotis and asked for a tour with Aristoteles. We could not have made a better choice! Aristoteles is very polite, kind and passionate about his work! I will not spoil the surprises but he did have some tricks to make our single day in Athens kinda special! I do recommend his and Fotis services!
Aristotlis was an amazing tour guide. You can see his love and passion for his country and it’s history. He goes over and beyond what’s expected to make the tour special. Request him if you book through this tour company. He’s amazing!!!
It was one of the best tours I’ve been on (I travel a lot and had many private tours). Our tour guide, Aristotelis was very informative, not boring, planned the entire tour so smoothly, covered everything but never rushed us, explained each site we went to from A-Z (how to walk up to the site, how to come down, what the site is,etc). Time flew by and we were not even tired. We got lucky, Aristotles truly made this tour amazing and exceeded our expectations. Thank you
Highly recommend this tour , our driver and guide Aristotle were outstanding and made the day something special which will stay with us for many years to come, he is truly a credit to the tour company
Such a worthwhile and wonderful experience. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn about the city’s perspective from a local perspective and efficiently see all of the notable sites. Aristotelis shared personal stories and interesting historical tales about Athens while we relaxed in an air-conditioned van (lifesaving) and we’re constantly hydrated with cold water :) it was an unforgettable day and a very pleasant way to get to know the city and one of its proud residents. You can see clearly how much Aristotelis loves him job and how passionate he is about the industry. I could not recommend this more highly.
George w great, helpful and so polite We enjoyed everything Didn’t get to go in Acropolis bc of crowd and time limit bc closing early for heat but other than that all was perfect
My experience of Athens and the Parthenon was greatly enhanced by the tour. Without the tour I would have missed so many parts of the story which really brought the whole exhibition to life for me. the best way to experience the monuments. Our experience in the bus was exciting too, cause it’s high class and luxury bus so we felt like we are the most important people 🙂
Highly recommended service, well organized and warm treatment, thanks to them we enjoy a perfect 2 way transfer to destination and decided to contract them for a Athens tour wich was an amazing expirience
