Athens Half Day Private Tour 5 Hours

Panos was amazing! Prompt, informative, and accommodating. His comprehensive half day tour was super insightful…we really got a great understanding of Greek history thanks to his video and commentary. And the sights were fabulous. Airport transfer was on time and efficient. Vehicle was clean and well maintained, Panos himself was lovely. Kept us informed. Will definitely use the service again on our next trip to Athens!

Panos is so knowledgeable and professional. From prompt airport pick up (even though our flight was delayed by a day), to pick up at cruise port to a half day private tour he was beyond accommodating! He even booked our Acropolis tickets and made our restaurant reservation when we were having problems doing it. Would book with them again 💯! Would not hesitate to recommend

Fabulous, easy, and informative tour. Michael offers a wealth of Greek history and navigated the streets of Athens like he grew up here (he did:). We saw all of the key landmarks and a few new ones we hope to return to. Don’t skip the Acropolis Museum. The archeological part of the site is fascinating and worth the price of admission even if you are short on time. Michael’s relaxed, flexible, and joyful personality made this day so much more enjoyable. His knowledge of the area and its history is remarkable and so fun. Book this trip, you will not regret it.

Exceptional! Half Day - Ancient Greece Thank you for the amazing experience Nic ! Your knowledge, professional & great personality were amazing, our family greatly appreciated it & we will be back !

Dimitri did a great job of catering to our needs. We saw the main sights, found a nice lunch spot and was given time to shop. Being picked up and dropped off at our cruise was well worth it!

We had only one full day in Athens before departing and selected the half day Athens tour and paid just few Euros more for the larger vehicle and it was so worth it. Visibility to key attractions that were pointed out by our driver/guide Dimitris we could easily see. We saw and visited so many sites and made so many memories. We have used Viator many times and have never had a less than outstanding experience. Always so informed of the area, friendly and professional. Half day Athens was perfect.

Our tour of Athens was wonderful. Alex is an amazing tour guide. He has a great knowledge of Greek history. The tour company gave us a great suggestion on where we could park our rental car and the bus met us there to start our tour. All the sites we amazing.The Acropolis museum, the Parthanon, Mars Hill, Temple of Zeus, the changing of the guards. Highly recommend this tour!

George was a great tour guide. Though this is quite expensive it really was worth having someone take care of the tickets ahead of time so we could skip the lines and who knew exactly where to go and where to drop us off. We only had two days in Athens but I feel like George gave us a fantastic summary of the whole city

Alex was wonderful! Informative, considerate and went above and beyond. We love the Acropolis, Olympic stadium and watching the changing of the guards in front of the presidential palace. Excellent tour!

A great way to see the city. Mike was our driver, he picked us up and dropped us off at all of the sites. We were able to roam freely since we weren’t part of a big tour group. Highly recommend!

On a Norwegian Mediterranean cruise, our port stop at Malta was cancelled due to bad weather and we were rerouted to Athens. We were able to book last minute through Viator this half day private tour. The weather was raining but our driver was able to take us the main sites, Acropolis Museum, Temple of Zeus, Hardian's Arch. Van was very comfortable and spacious. Would recommend.

The tour was very professional, the van for 8 of us was very spacious and comfortable. We saw all the major tourist spots and get to our cruise ship in perfect time.

We were met at the cruise port by Alex. We had three couples and signed up for the half day tour of Athens. Alex was great. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond what we expected. Our tour was supposed to be half day but he gave us extra time and sites. We traveled in a Mercedes van and were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Athens.

When on a Royal Caribbean cruise, we booked an Elegant Greek Tours half-day private six person tour of Athens through Viator. Our guide, Alex, was so professional and accommodating. He picked us up promptly in a Mercedes SUV at the port terminal. At each of the stops (Acropolis, Temple of Zeus and the Acropolis Museum), he gave us as much time as we wanted. When we wished to skip a fourth stop and get a local beverage, he took us to a great little restaurant on the water off the beaten path. Alex could not have been nicer. Our tour was supposed to last 4-5 hours, and yet he told us it didn't matter how long. We ended up with a 6 hour tour. This tour cost us around 100 euros per couple. The ship's small tour (25 people) cost around $149 per person. We felt this was a great experience and would highly recommend Alex and Elegant Greek Tours for future travelers.

The Good: Alex was the best tour guide we could have asked for. He had great knowledge of ancient Greece, all the sites we visited, gave us good tips at each place, was flexible and patient, met us on time at every place, and the vehicle was comfortable and cool. I just can't say enough good about him and would highly recommend him to my friends who visit Greece. The Bad: The tour was quite expensive and a splurge for us, but Alex's flexibility and personality made it well worth it. The Ugly: Absolutely nothing.

By far the best private tour we've taken abroad! Our driver/guide, Dimitris was excellent! Highly recommend this tour.
