“Lovely kind and welcoming lady and atmosphere, patient and understanding of my ability and led each person by their own strengths, wasnt timed - as long as it takes you no rushing just producing your art, lovely meditation, nice conversation, coffee and snacks provided, space to take a break if needed, i had a lot of fun, really enjoyed it, would have gone back every day if i could. Highly recomend.”
Ride a Segway through Athens’ key sights in 3 hours, from Hadrian and Zeus to Panathenaic Stadium, Plaka, and hilltop viewpoints.
“This was my absolutely favourite tour of Athens (I've attended 3!). Stylianos is the tour guide you hope for.. Passionate about his country, animated when he brings history to life, and sharing his sense of humour the whole time. The Segway ride felt completely safe as he chose routes that weren't super busy. Kostas was also very understanding when we had to reschedule due to transportation strikes. The office was centrally located (near the Acropolis) and everything was great. Can't recommend this tour enough!Read more”
Private Athens highlights tour with Wi-Fi, A/C, and hotel or port pickup, featuring Acropolis, Zeus, Hadrian’s Gate, and Syntagma.
“We had limited time and since it was a weekend the Acropolis was extremely busy, so our tour guide did an alternative tour for th limited time we had. It was still good tour, saw other places and got to the airport as planned,”
Private 3-hour Athens highlights tour in a Mercedes van with WiFi and English guidance. Quick photo stops for Acropolis to Lycabettus.
“I’m not sure there’s much our guide could have done about the traffic and lack of parking, but because of the traffic and the crowds we were not able to get out at any of the sites to experience them up close, except to take pictures at the hilltop overlooking the Acropolis. Our tour basically consisted of driving a loop, past the main sites (except for the stop at the hill) all inside the van. We loved our guide, but we could have taken a taxi around the city for less than what this tour cost for 1 person. 3 hours is not enough time and the bad thing is,…”
3-hour Athens private Greek cuisine tasting with market snacks, meze, tsipouro, Greek coffee, plus wine or beer. Meet at Omonoia.
“Great hospitality ! Eat like local with quality and best Greek cuisine options. Tasteful, authentic food.”
Glide through Athens at night on a 3-hour Segway tour with training and a live guide, seeing lit ancient sites and nightlife.
“We enjoyed a wonderful time and heard great stories about Athens and our guide 😉 who also gave us recommendations for the remainder of our stay! Can’t say enough to adequately explain how much fun this tour was for us.”
3.5-hour Athens highlights by air-conditioned bus, with Acropolis entry, headsets, and a guided look at Parthenon and key monuments.
“I liked that hotel pickup/drop off was offered. Our tour guide Anastasia was very knowledgeable and nice. She made sure that we were all in the group before she went any further. It wasn’t easy considering that Acropolis was very crowded. She gave clear instructions as to where to go for breaks and where to meet after our free time. It was a very pleasant experience to see the amazing Acropolis which housed the Parthenon, Temple of Athena, etc. We were a group of 8 and everyone agreed that it was well worth it. The city tour afterwards was a plus!”
3-hour small group coasteering near Sounion. Skip crowds, cliff jump and snorkel by Poseidon Temple. Gear included, English guide.
“Great experience. The area is beautiful, lots of different activities packed into one. You hike, scramble over boulders, cliff jump, snorkel. Our guide was great, she took pictures and sent them to us after. She helped arrange a driver for us from Athens who waited and let us visit the temple of Poseidon after before heading back to Athens. I have always been hesitant to cliff jump and figured I would not to any of them, but she started us on just a very small jump and kept moving us up to slightly bigger jumps. I jumped off much higher than I ever expected I would be willing.”
Accessible 3-hour Athens panorama tour by private minivan with driver, Acropolis viewpoints, Plaka and Lycabettus, from Piraeus or hotels.
“This was a very enjoyable tour. It was just myself and my husband and the driver would drop us off and then pick us up when we were ready to move on. Our guide knew the city very well so we were able to capture great views of the Acropolis and the entire city of Athens. It was also convenient to have the hotel pickup and be able to stow our luggage as it was the beginning of our cruise. Highly recommend!”
Every kind of day out from the city, and the best of each.
