Itinerary
You start your visit from the Greek Parliament where you will snap photos of the famed evzones, the ceremonial guards in traditional kilts—one of Athens’ most photographed sights.
Escape the bustle in the lush National Garden, a peaceful oasis home to over 7,000 trees, a pond, ancient ruins, and even a botanical museum—ideal for nature-inspired photography.
Nestled among stately gardens and guarded by the iconic evzones, the Presidential Mansion is the official residence of the President of the Hellenic Republic.
At the historic Kallimarmaro Stadium, birthplace of the modern Olympic Games, your escort will help you find unique angles and perspectives to level up your photo game.
Framed by neoclassical grandeur and surrounded by lush gardens, the Zappeion is more than just an elegant backdrop—it's a symbol of modern Greece’s cultural revival.
It’s time to wander through Plaka, the “Neighborhood of the Gods.” Its charming alleys, colorful houses, and quaint cafes offer postcard-perfect scenes at every turn.
Climb the storied steps of Pnyx and find yourself standing where ancient philosophers, apostles, and councilors once gathered.
A panoramic viewpoint where the Acropolis and the city stretch out beneath you—one of the most breathtaking, Instagram-worthy spots in Athens.
Stretching along the southern slope of the Acropolis, Dionysiou Areopagitou is often called the most beautiful pedestrian street in Athens.

Our Athens Instagram Photo Tour was a lot of fun. Our guide was fantastic. It was a small walking tour which was perfect. We saw everything from the museums, to the changing of the guards at 2 locations, the Olympic stadium, beautiful parks and a shopping area that we were unable to find on our own. It was the perfect pace, our guide was fun and informative and we got some shopping in too. I highly recommend this fun excursion too.
The guide was amazing and nice, explaining the history, mythology, and present times, and everything that you need to know about Greece. Easy going, and as travel alone she gave the tips about the photos, really amazing tour. I truly recomand this especially if you are on your own.
We had an amazing time with Viktor. He was knowledgeable, showed us amazing sights and was a lot of fun. I absolutely loved the Old Town homes and perfect spots for pictures all tour. Vijtor qas knowledgeable on history and great facts.
Constantine’s enhanced our experience of Athens' points of interest, showcasing great knowledge of the history and capturing memorable moments with her excellent photography skills. Highly recommended.
Penelope was an incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide who adapted her tour to what we wanted to know. We learnt so much about Athens and visited some very scenic spots where we got some lovely photographs! It was a joy to spend the afternoon with her!
It was my fifth guided tour in Athens and one of the best ones! My guide Greg brought me to different beautiful places in the city, talked about their history and showed me the best spots to take a picture. Often we were just a few meters away from the place crowded by tourists and I am very thankful to Greg for showing me these hidden treasures of Athens! Greg was also very charming and thoughtful e.g. he showed me on his own initiative the opportunities to buy water or visit a well-maintained bathroom. The whole tour was great fun, and the photos are amazing! THANK YOU!!
We really enjoyed our tour with Lucas. He was extremely knowledgeable and showed us places we would not have seen walking on our own. My only suggestion is to have the tour guide have a card or something showing he represents the tour company as we had a bit of difficulty finding him at the meeting spot.
We absolutely loved this experience!! Our guide was so knowledgeable and answered any questions that we had. We were able to see the most amazing spots in Athens. If you are okay walking the whole time I highly recommend this tour.
Lukas our guide was amazing. We got to walk through the streets of Athens to places we would not have been able to do on our own. In addition his knowledge of the city was great which made the walk even better and knowing all the shady spots was a definite plus.
Tour was great, I don't think I call it an instagram tour, but more of a tour of top Athens highlights with a local guide. Guide was fantastic.
Great tour and carried on despite the heat ! It was a really hot day, but we were still able to find some great photo spots and good information.
Easy to meet up in a busy location. Great seeing some of the places that are not always explored. Great viewpoints of lovely Athens
Love, love this informative tour. It is one for the books. Our tour guide took the time to explain the history behind each monument. We took some specular pictures and ventured to each destination at a pace comfortable for all. Book this tour, you will not regret it!!!
We had a great walk thru the park and over to the Plaka and the residence along the edge of the acropolis. Great photo opportunities and a chance to learn the history of the area. There was great flexibility to make the photo walk work for anyone and it was much appreciated. Along with suggestions for other places to check out. We had a great time.
Penelope was knowlegeable and we had a fun time walking around the center of Athens. She took great photos as well!
We had an excellent tour with our guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history and culture. Would highly recommend!
What a fun little tour. Very knowledgeable. Kept things interesting and fun. New things other tours didn't mention. Would highly recommend. ;)
Knowledge guide, beautiful locations. Unique history combined with great local flair. Would book again!!
Penelope was fantastic. She has suck deep knowledge of Athens and Greece. She was superb. The tour takes you all over which is great. Great for a first time visit to Athens!!
The tour guide was unbelievable and amazing!!!! He gave amazing details and facts about history and beautiful sites,really felt like we saw the entire Athens!!!!
I took the Athens Instagram Photo Tour: Most Memorable spots and hidden gems with local guide Penelope. WOW... what a tour! She was professional, kindhearted, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable of all of the hidden gems in Athens. She shared tips, Athens history, foodie info, archaeological information (photos and sketches of original Athens), which was phenomenal. I've never been on a tour where a local guide had so much passion about the subject matter. On this tour you get the best of both worlds; archaeological and photography. Penelope is definitely a subject matter expert on the history of Athens. It was like strolling the streets with your big sister. Most importantly, she took the MOST MEMORABLE photographs with precision and patience. I would definitely rebook this tour any day and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to you!!!
Our guide and photographer Anna gave us an amazing walking tour and a fantastic set of pictures of ourselves in Athens. She clearly had a deep knowledge of the city and beyond taking pictures, we learned more about Athens. We did appreciate how Anna went the extra mile and helped us find a pharmacy and fit it in to the tour. She was very responsive to our wishes and priorities.
Christina was so fun and knowledgeable. She made the tour super comfortable and fun, and I left feeling like we had made a new friend to keep in touch with. Pascal was super patient and accommodating with my situation and schedule changing multiple times as I had some problems with my passport and needed to be flexible to go to the embassy for my appointment. He was a joy and never made me feel bad about the change of plans. Highly recommend working with this team! Loved every interaction.
From when this tour started - attentiveness and care was given to me and my partner and familiarising us with what's coming, giving us a great idea on what to expect without revealing too much! Moving in and around the sites was done in a very well thought out route linking historic information and interweaving modern and past facts! Allowing us enough time to appreciate what we are seeing, pictures of course and have plenty of laughs with our group! You can tell Pascal knows his city and when he provided our Polaroid cameras (I so recommend this) it felt like I was a kid again and the only way I knew the tour was over was when he told us! I recommend this for anyone viewing Athens for the first time Thank you Pascal
This was exactly what we wanted. Teenagers who wanted to take great pictures and adults who wanted to see the sights and learn about the city. Christina was an AMAZING tour guide. Incredibly knowledgeable about the sites and history. She showed us places we would have never found on our own and told us about things we didn't even know we were interested in. She helps us get great pictures and we even got a song from a sweet man on the stairs. I must also give a shout out to whoever manages this tour. We were scheduled for a 10 am tour but due to flight delay we missed our connection to Athens and were not going to make the 10 am tour. We contacted the group thru the app, explained the situation and they were flexible with us and allowed us to change our tour to 5 pm the same day. No fees and fuss, just adjusted the time to help us out. We really appreciated this. Highly recommend this tour, this company and Christina the tour guide. 5 STARS!
Excellent walking tour with the guide Christina! Fabulous stories from mythogy, antient times, exploration of hidden gems of Athens. Insta spots on the way. Recommended for all age, I was with a teenager who loved it. Thank you.
If there were 15 stars I would give Pascal all of them. This was the absolute cherry on top of my already fabulous Athens trip. He took such care in selecting picturesque locations which also had historical significance. Despite this being my third tour I was so engaged and saw all new things! Pascal also takes care and shot some of the best photos I got over my time in the city.
A private tour that met our expectations. Pascal even helped to capture the right images. The locations he took us to were away from the standard “spots” where other tours congregated. Unique locations to capture those memorable moments. His intrinsic knowledgeable of Athens, it’s history, new insights were conversational pieces which made it feel less like a tourist guide. Highly recommended and the bonus of 8000 steps was a plus :)
Great tour and great knowledge shared by our guide. Enjoyed the tour a lot and discovered some hidden spots - we were tourist in our own city as we live in Athens.
The most instagrammable tour did not disappoint. We had a brilliant time seeing Athens as well as learning some interesting historical facts along the way. I would highly recommend this relaxed and enjoyable tour.
Excellent walking tour packing a lot into a short amount of time. Our guide, Pascal, was friendly and informative sharing the history and culture of Athens while we explored a small sampling of the city's beautiful spots. From the changing of the guard to the modern Olympic stadium to panoramic city views, this tour has all you need if you have limited time in the city. Would recommend for any Athens visitors.
Very friendly and helpful and communication was the best. He was easy going and also helped take pictures.
The tour was great. Pascal showed us nice places like the garden and Anafiotika. He also took some nice photos and send them to us afterwards.
Pascal took us to some off the beaten path awesome places where we got great photographs of the Plaka and overlooks of Athens.
Really enjoyed this fun and alternative way to discover Athens and it's highlights. I was taken to some very scenic spots and my host was very talented at taking pictures of me with the landmarks in the background. It felt like a fun photo shoot and I saw so many cool parts of the city that I would probably not have seen by myself.
I'm so glad I signed up for this tour. Not only I got over 150 photos at some of the best photo spot in Athens, at the same time I received good info on Athens Acropolis and mythology. Christina is a great photographer, she is creative a d she has an eye for details, I'm so happy with all the photos taken by her during the tour. Simply magical and surprising highlight of my trip in Athens!
We had a great time with lots of places visited we wouldnt know had we not done this tour! Christina was very knowledgeable snd took a lot if great photos. Wonderful and a patient guide!
Pascal was a great guide taking us to places not on the tourist map for some great photos along with history and information along the way. Highly recommend!
I had a wonderful tour with Cristina, who was able to show me her authentic Athens. She was very knowledgeable on both ancient and modern history of the sights we visited, which enhances the pictures we were taking. She is an amazing eye for detail, perspective, composition and technique in capturing the colours and life of the city. She was able to tailor the tour based on interest, so there was a flexible itinerary which included capturing both ancient architectural landmarks and modern street art. She was able to help me with both my camera and smartphone for getting the best shots. Highly recommended for any avid hobby photographers who like to capture the sights of the city.
Our engagement with Pascal was more than delightful. We originally booked for a wooden bike tour with him. When we arrived at the bike shop, Pascal was there and even if my wife and I were the only ones signed up for the afternoon, Pascal seemed well prepared and enthusiastic to accommodate us. What exceeded expectations really was his exceptional concern for our safety and comfort. After giving us a very brief overview of the bikes, he requested each of us to try out the bike and establish a reasonable level of comfort with the equipment. After a few moments of testing, my wife seemed to worry that she would not be able to keep up confidently with a bike tour that goes around Athens’ busy streets. (Most streets don’t seem to have bike lanes.) After deliberating thoroughly with my wife, we embarrassingly told Pascal that we may need to opt out from the tour. At this point, i wasn’t expecting a refund anymore. Without much hesitation, he emphatically assured us that he understood and expressed the importance of his guests’ safety and comfort. He quickly checked his schedule and suggested that we do a walking tour instead (on a different schedule). We gladly accepted his gracious offer and met with him two days later. We had an entertaining experience that morning with Pascal as he took us around Syntagma, the sites within the National Garden, the Olympia Theatre, the Temple of the Olympian Zeus, the Arch of Hadrian, the streets of Plaka, Anafiotika, and the nearby area surrounding the Acropolis. We even went up the Areopagus Hill for an awesome view of the city. We hit it off easily with Pascal. He keeps great conversations comfortably. His standards of quality are very high. And without doubt, his value for customer service are one of a kind. This is by far our best tour experience in all our travels.
We had a really nice tour, first Pascal emailed me one day before to ask me if we can make the tour earlier because of the heating what actually it was a good idea, he took us to differents and hidden places where locals goes and you can enjoy athens without the crowds, be prepared because you have to walk a lot off but we didn't realize how much we walked because we were having conversations and fun with Pascal, it was a really nice tour
During our trip to Athens, we went on the Instagram tour with Pascal. To start off, Pascal was an amazing guide. He was able to give us interesting facts and historical details about the various sights we saw along the way. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and you could tell he loves doing it! We are firm believers that the guide can make or break your tour, so we were thankful to have one of the good ones. It was a small group, which we loved because it was very personalized. We also thought it was the perfect length. This was our first experience with an Instagram tour and we chose it because we wanted to do something a little different and see the city in a different light. Pascal shared his knowledge with us about each of the stops, and we did get some pretty cool Instagrams out of it! It felt very personalized - you could get as much or as little of the history as you wanted and we felt comfortable asking questions about everything we were seeing. As promised, each of the photo stops weren't places you would really know to go to on your own. They had some great views and not a ton of other tourists around. We'd highly recommend this for those looking to do something different during their visit. We went as a couple, but it'd be great for families too. The tour is laid back and unlike other tours you will find!
Such a fun tour! A great way to visit Athens in a different way. Pascal offers a very personalized tour and shares his in-depth knowledge about the history of Athens and Greece. He was also super helpful with recommendations for the rest of our trip. A very fun tour taking polaroids!
One of the tours offered by our hotel (New Hotel). Looked fun. Pascal was waiting for us in the lobby early, and were fortunate to be the only 2 (& bub) on the tour. Great time exploring Athens on foot and seeing the city through the eyes of a local, with a mix of hidden gems and the main sights. Would highly recommend doing on your first days in Athens so you get a feel for the city. We had a great little laugh over a drink at the end of the tour seeing our attempts to be artistic with the polaroids! ps - don't forget to ask for eating tips from the team - had a great dinner and dessert thanks to Pascal's recommendation.
Really top You learn a lot of little anecdotes while traveling the city Pascal (The guide) is super nice and friendly!
Pascal an excellent guide! A different tour, outside the usual places to enjoy Athens in different ways. A 10 for this tour
