“This tour was absolutely awesome all because of our guide, Andreas ( a Vin Diesel look alike). Andreas is personable and extremely well informed. He took the time to explain the sights in detail before dropping us off. We did a coffee stop, a shopping/ bathroom break, and lunch at a lovely , small restaurant where we ate outside. The vehicle was comfortable and easily accommodated the 8 of us. This was far and above one of the best private tours I have done.”

I can't say enough good things about this company - our tour was on December 26th and we were contacted the night before and advised that all the museums and major attractions would be closed. We were given the option of a full refund which we appreciated but decided to go ahead with our tour. Michael was very informative and engaging and took us to as many sites as possible. Overall definitely recommend.”

Private biblical day trip from Athens to Ancient Corinth and the Isthmus Canal. Door-to-door pickup, A/C Wi‑Fi car, Paul-focused stops.

“We felt this tour was more of a sightseeing than biblical tour. It was good info on Paul but not much. I felt we knew more about Paul than our guide. I guess it depends on the guide you get. The Corinth canal was cool to see and the port also neat.”

“Our private tour with Manos was great. He is very gregarious and funny. He is passionate about Greek culture and history and made a special effort to share places outside the normal tourist spots in addition to all the normal highlights on an Athens city tour. Ex: a scenic view of Athens where romantic Greek men like to make their marriage proposal and a great spot to watch the changing of the guards without the crowds. He also recommended a lively traverna filled with locals where we enjoyed a delicious dinner that evening. Spend time with Manos and you will be enchanted with Athens.”

8.Athens Full Day Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 667 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $205

Private Athens full-day tour with Acropolis, Agora, and the Changing of the Guard. Hotel pickup, Wi‑Fi, USB charging, flexible pacing.

“Aristotle’s exceptional knowledge brought every stop on our Athens tour to life, and nowhere was this more clear than during the Changing of the Guards. Before we even arrived, he hinted that we were “in for a surprise,” building excitement while explaining the deeper meaning of the ceremony and the role of the guards. Once we reached palace and the change unfolded, his behind‑the‑scenes understanding of the uniforms, choreography, and symbolism meant we were not just watching a ritual, but truly appreciating a powerful piece of Greek history and tradition that most visitors completely miss. Count yourself lucky if Aristotle is your guide. Better yet, request him!!”

Beautiful area and not crowded. The Temple of Poseidon was so picturesque out on Cape Sounion. Panos took us to a restaurant for lunch, with the sea just outside the window.”

“From the second Voula greeted us with her big smile and friendly vibe, we knew we were in for something special. She made us feel like we were visiting a long-time friend rather than just taking a tour. Her warmth and passion for Greek food and Athens really shined through the whole time. Voula took us to the coolest local spots, tiny tavernas, street food stalls, meat markets, and hidden gems, places we’d never find on our own. Every bite was amazing, and she kept telling us fun stories about the food, the history, and her favorite local traditions. We were so full by the end, but in the best…”

Panos communicated clearly thru Whatsapp. Gave good background of the sights. Being able to see the changing of the guards at the much less crowded President's home was much appreciated.”
