Highly recommend this... - Highly recommend this Viator tour if you want to see the best of Athens in a day. It’s a busy itinerary, so be prepared for a full day of exploring, but our guide was excellent and kept us engaged throughout. Traveling in April was a great call; the crowds were manageable and the temperature was just right

Late booking and well worth it - We are a family of 4 and had planned on visiting Athens for 3 days. The forecast was rain for 2 of the 3 days so we decided that the most efficient way to see the city was by using a private tour guide. We booked the tour late night the day before the tour and was pleased that everything was organized fast. Our guide Michael was great- professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and managed to see all the sights before the crowds and the rains. Highly recommend!

Wonderful day in Athens - Wear good walking shoes. It is a strenuous climb to the acropolis and my husband and I only made it halfway while our adult kids went all the way up. This tour lets you move at your own pace but there is a lot to see. Michael our driver was great and gave us an amazing overview of Athens. He took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch where we enjoyed authentic Greek dishes. There were 7 in our group and we all enjoyed this tour. We can't say enough about what a great guide Michael was. It was so much fun!

Great first day in Athens - We were very happy with our tour and tour guide. Michael was a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who was funny and matched our personalities and senses of humor. We learned a lot while having fun. We were able to do things at our own pace and never felt pressured. He also shared information about things that we are interested in doing on other days.

Surreal experience of Athens! - Our full day tour of Athens was nothing short of amazing. Our driver Michael was professional and courteous and engaging. Our lovely guide Helen was informative, very knowledgeable about all the history and sites we visited, and caring (letting us take things at our pace). Amazing tour, great driver and guide, surreal experience and recommend both the tour with Michael as the driver and guide Helen 1000%.

The best way to tour Athens - This was an excellent tour when we did it. The woman who was our guide, a phenomenal understanding of the history and communicated that very well during our trip.. both the driver and the guide were extremely polite. The van that they used was in excellent condition and likely the best way to tour the entire city. I highly recommend.

Our driver Michael was an... - Our driver Michael was an excellent guide. 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.
