Highlights
- Acropolis - Make a start in the morning with a visit of Greece’s most glorious ancient site, the Acropolis of Athens. Located in the middle of modern Athens, the ‘sacred rock’ proudly displays a set of marble monuments that express their outstanding universal value. With a history spanning 25 centuries, the Acropolis has been traditionally associated with the Golden Age of Athenian democracy, philosophy and architecture. Enjoy a well-paced guided tour to admire the most significant classical masterpieces of Greece. Walk uphill through the Propylaea grand marble entrance, as you contemplate in the hills of Philoppapus, Pnyx and Mars. Discover the astonishing construction of the Parthenon, the most splendid temple ever built by the Greeks, dedicated to goddess Athena. Admire the Erechtheion with its renowned Caryatids and the view of the temple of Athena Nike. Gaze at the infinite modern city from the hilltop, stretching between low mountains and the Aegean Sea. Explore all sides for panoramic views of the old town and its picturesque neoclassical buildings, as well as the ancient theater of Dionysus, the Roman temple of Zeus and the world-famous Herodeion theater.

Amazing experience! - For Christmas time George helped us to have an unforgettable day tour.
We were a group of 6 people from Italy and he dedicated to us the Christmas Eve, 24th of December.
We went to visit the 'The Temple of Poseidon' at Sounion which is like 1 hour and something from the old town. Before and after we made some stops and we also had a lunch in an amazing place in a village we passed through, fresh fish and wonderful view :)
With George we arranged also the transfer from/to airport.
I highly recommend him for a day tours and/or other services. Thank you very much George and see you soon!

She met us at the port as requested and worked with us in planning our 8 hour tour. She knew several ways to get around the lines at the Acropolis and led us to an excellent Greek restaurant in the Plaka area. We saw all the sites that we had planned.</p>

Our driver and guide spoke very good English and explained all the historical points of the trip. We had ample time to get off at our leisure and take photos and explore. The motor coach was very comfortable and professional - HIGHLY RECOMMEND</p>

Way better than a cruise ship excursion - Six of us wanted a more personal tour of Athens than our cruise ship excursion list offered. Our driver George was at the pier and quickly gained our trust that he could provide us what we were looking for. The vehicle was exceptionally clean and air conditioned. He brought us to the major sites that we requested and patiently waited while we toured and had lunch. George provided water to us at no extra charge. I highly recommend Private Best Day Tours in Athens.

2 The driver just dropped us off and didn't go with us for visits. We got lost couple of times while the time is very precious as a shore excursion from cruise.<br/>
It actually served just like a taxi.</p>
