Athens · CITY TOURS
Every trip has one free morning too few. These 15 city tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part of planning.
Hop-on hop-off bus tour of Athens with 24 to 72 hour passes, audio in 13 languages, plus optional Piraeus and Riviera upgrades.
“It was great. We went to the Acropolis one day and then the museum and walked around a different areas the next day.”
Hop-on hop-off buses across Athens, Piraeus, and the Riviera, with 13-language audio, Wi-Fi, and 24 to 72 hour passes.
“It was nice to take the tour to see around, especially the view from the second floor of the Olympic stadium. However, there are some problems: the bus stops for a long time in certain spots (their stops), but there is almost no time to take pics of the historical marks. In addition, the headphones with audio information almost doesn’t work. As the audio starts when the bus is running, so the bus noise makes it almost impossible to understand the information. So, in the end it felt more like a shuttle instead of a unique experience of city tour.”
Athens by e-bike covers top sights and local neighborhoods fast, with an optional Acropolis visit and included tickets for a great start.
“Demitrious was an amazing guide. He was funny, engaging and knowledgeable. We had a great time!!”
Early-entry Acropolis and Parthenon tour with wireless audio, plus Plaka streets and key old-town sites ending in Monastiraki.
“Yolanda was an excellent tour guide, there is no point in seeing such an important site without a guide!! Disappointingly, the rest of my tour was cancelled so I only got to do the acropolis/parthenon guided tour. Tour keys provided partial refund (very small) and a free audio guide for plaka but that is not the same as a guided walking tour when you’re a solo traveller.”
Athens City Pass with Acropolis skip-the-line, New Acropolis Museum audio, 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus, plus optional transport and Hydra cruise.
“Gave you access to alot of places, for example the hrakleidon museum not many people there at all and got a free tour. Got to see so much with the hop on hop off and some places you had to pay for but wasn’t too bad the price.”
Small-group Athens bike tour with safe routes, major landmarks plus local backstreets, ending near Olympian Zeus, with an optional Acropolis guided visit.
“Can thoroughly recommend this activity! Mr K, our guide was excellent and we had a very entertaining tour. He looked after us at all times and made sure that we stayed safe on the bikes. All levels were catered for and if you like a little exercise mixed with your tour then you'll love this!”
Ride a small-group e-bike loop through Athens, hitting markets, Syntagma changing of the guards, Acropolis views, Plaka lanes, and more.
“Andreas was a great guide and wonderful tour of the city. He kept the group safe and showed us interesting areas, while customizing the experience to the groups desires. Great value too!”
Walk key Athens sights, then tackle the Acropolis and the new museum for context, views, and photo stops, led by an English guide.
“Oleysa was an absolute delight! She is so smart and caring. This is an alllll day activity with lots of walking, climbing, sunshine and learning. It is not an easy day. Be sure to wear sneakers because you are in stones and pebble with slippery footing. We learned so much history of the empires from a very smart Oleysa. We recommend but know that it is not super easy.”
Athens from Syntagma to the Acropolis, with Parliament sights, Syntagma Station finds, and a guided climb to Parthenon views.
“Beautiful sites to be seen. Vicky our guide was fantastic, super dynamic, very friendly and full of knowledge. Great tour!”
Private off the beaten track Athens walk with a local guide, Strefi Hill park views, and Psiri nightlife streets. Mobile ticket.
“If you get Dimitri as your guide, consider yourself very lucky! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, gives great recommendations, and introduces you to some really lovely locals along the way! You get a good lay of the land during this experience. It’s not to be missed!”
E-scooter tour through Athens highlights in 90 minutes with expert guide Panos, featuring outside views of Acropolis, Parthenon, Agora and more.
“We enjoyed the informative tour with our expert guide Pathos. He rescued me when I had a slow motion wreck at the very start of our tour. I asked if I can ride with him. I enjoyed the ride with my Greek God the whole way around! I saw more and got more information riding with him. I also thought the tour was especially good going down narrow roads.”
A 100% electric private tuk-tuk loop through Athens center, built for 360-degree views, quick stops, and easy access to Plaka.
“Our guide was awesome! Manos (I think). The tuk tuk was so much fun. The views spectacular. What a great way to get the lay of the land.”
Private 3-hour Athens tour by 100% electric tuk-tuk. Photo stops, Mount Lycabettus 360 views, Acropolis and historic neighborhoods. $113 pp.
“Joseph was such knowledgeable and caring. We so appreciated our time spent. Money very well spent!”
Skip Athens taxi stress with a private Mercedes-Benz transfer to the city, meet-with-a-sign pickup, bottled water, and WhatsApp updates.
“We had a great experience with this transfer. Our flight into Athens on a Friday night ran about an hour late, but Alexis was waiting for us patiently with a sign with our name. The station wagon was perfect for our family of four. We would have otherwise needed two taxis to accommodate us and our luggage. Or we would have needed a minibus at a higher price. Though we didn't expect Alexis to serve as a guide, he was very informative during our drive into town. As a nice surprise, he made a detour to Mount Lycabettus on our way to the hotel to give us an awesome nighttime…”
Bike from Acropolis views to the Saronic Gulf, with Roman Agora stops, seaside marinas, and swim time at Alimos.
“Many thanks to Kostas for a wonderful tour. We were in Athens for over a week and not going on to the coast anywhere else and it was just great to get out of the city centre and down to the coast - and to see other bits of Athens. Kostas is doing a PhD in History and know his stuff! My husband didn't bike as a child and is thus nervous on roads. But this tour was fine as it really was on cycle paths most of the way.”
Every kind of day out from the city, and the best of each.
