Private tour - Came to pick us directly at the hotel, beautiful van. We rode around the main points, took photos, tour of the Acropolis (without a guide). It was fun, set up to our own liking and time.

Adventures in Athens with Andreas - This 4 hour private tour of the Acropolis and other parts of Athens with Andreas Michaelides was outstanding. His outgoing personality and willingness and kindness to answer all of our questions while also trying to share his knowledge of his beloved homeland was so appreciated. He hit all the right places for us to experience off the beaten path sites, as well.

Athens light - Athens is a large city with much to see. Four hours is a very limited time. Our primary goal was to see the Acropolis which we did, despite somewhat poor weather. Our guide was all you could ask for, knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and a good story teller. We had a delightful time despite the poor weather. He made us want to return one day and meet more Greeks.

Half-day in Athens - Great way to spend an afternoon. Do this in the winter to avoid crowds. Gives you a great overview of the City.

Best guide - Our guide Andreas was just wonderful! Without him, we wouldn't have learned so much about Athens. He knew exactly what we were interested in and adapted to the needs of all participants. We have now discovered our love for Greece. Really highly recommended!

Go see Athens in a private tour - Great way to see Athens in 4 hours.
Saw all of the major sights and the Changing of the guards was right in front of us. Panos drove us everywhere. Got us the best photo stops. Panos speaks English very well and knew his way around Athens when streets were closed for a marathon. Thanks Panos!

Incredible Acropolis Tour with Andreas! - Our 4-hour Acropolis tour was absolutely amazing. Andreas was an outstanding guide—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating historical insights. He made the entire experience both educational and fun, keeping everyone interested from start to finish. We learned so much about the history and culture of Athens while enjoying beautiful views and great company. Highly informative, perfectly paced, and full of memorable moments. I highly recommend this tour—and if you can, ask for Andreas!

Amazing Athens! - From start to finish, the experience was smooth and easy. Panos picked us up on time from our Port and took us to the Acropolis. He was very knowledgeable and you could tell very proud of his country. Our tickets and timing were perfect, no issues and we just beat the crowds. We took a nice city tour and learned a lot about the history of Athens. Panos made sure to give us a lot of opportunities to stop and get out and take pictures. We wanted to extend our time in Athens so Panos was able to drop us off in Plaka and recommended a FANTASTIC restaurant for lunch. 10/10 would recommend this tour and Panos!

Nice overview of historic sites. - Know this is a self tour of Acropolis with explanation by the guide before we toured. We also saw the Olympic Stadium from outside the entrance. Great viewing of changing of the guard outside the Presidential Mansion, with the guide pointing out perfect location.
