Private half day tour of Athens - Great tour! We were picked up at the Port of Piraeus after a cruise, with the tour guide waiting with a sign to greet us. We immediately went to see the Acropolis and spent almost two hours there. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and made sure we had lots of breaks in the shade as we climbed the steps and viewed the Parthenon and other buildings. After the Acropolis stop, bottled water was provided back at the van and appreciated after the long walk in the hot weather. We left that area and then stopped for other photo opportunities as we were driven around Athens and then finally dropped off at our hotel.

This tour was amazing. ... - This tour was amazing. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, provided great information, and also had a photo book on hand which was really nice when explaining the sites. We visited the Olympic stadium, Presidential Palace, changing of the guards, Old University and Libarary, before heading to Acropolis and Parthenon. We spent about two hours touring the Acropolis and Parthenon. The driver was also very careful and made us feel safe. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable Athens experience - Lydia, was like an encyclopedia. The knowledge she had was very informative. Very detailed, very patient, allowed me the time I needed to take pictures and ask questions. Theo, our driver, did a great job maneuvering through the traffic in the city.

Great Athens overview & tour! - Great way to see key sites in Greece. Tour operators were very knowledgeable and friendly. Parthenon/Acropolis took over an hour, maybe almost 1h 30 mins of the tour. The rest was seeing from air conditioned vehicle (very welcomed after Parthenon!) and making some stops along the way. Walked around for about 10-15 mins in Plaka/Monasteraki area. Super cute walking area w lots of shops and restaurants. Overall was a great way to see key things and figure out where we’d like to explore more. Glad we did it on our first day in Athens.

Review of half day tour - We were picked up on time and drove immediately to the acropolis and our guide Panos was very informative explaining the entire site and showing us pictures of how the structures would hav looked. Our guide, George then took us to other sites around Athens and told us of the history. A great base of information to explore some spots further.
