Great tour of Mount Lycabettus with Dionysis! - Our guide Dionysis did a great job touring us around and providing insight and guidance on Mount Lycabettus and the surrounding area. He was engaging and helpful with information on other areas to visit in Athens and Greek islands to consider for the future. Highly recommend this tour!

Happily Surprised by 5 star Private Tour! - What a great tour! Ended up being a private tour - just my family of 3. Alex was a fabulous guide. So knowledgeable about everything - history, politics, languages, flora and fauna, places to shop - and personable as well. He took us by taxi to the top of Mt. Lycabettus where we enjoyed amazing views, then we walked down the hill and all throughout town, covering buildings from ancient times to the 18-1900s (Parliament, the Academies, etc). We saw the changing of the guard which was fascinating. And he even stayed with us a little extra time to make sure we saw the turtles in the National Gardens, which I had specifically requested seeing. He was super flexible about tailoring the tour to our needs. We enjoy walking so this was a great tour for us - about 4 miles. Additionally, the company communicated well via Viator.

Great view & great exercise option - Amazing view. We were there for sunset and was crowded, as expected. Was not easy to find the fanicular car. A nice workout to get to the base of the hill. Worth the effort & a to do while visiting Athens

Fantatsic views of the city from its highest vantage point. - It's a steep walk up but well worth the effort for the views at the top. The only place where you can see the whole city laid out before you all the way to the sea.

Lycabettus and clouds - Beautiful view of the city, good restaurant, tiring climb up to the funicular but as soon as you reach the top together with the church you can enjoy a beautiful panorama. Recommended to go there in the evening.

Not worth it - Not worth it. The funicular is very expensive for what you can do on the way up. The top is almost entirely occupied by a bar/restaurant. You can't stay there for more than 10 minutes because there is almost no room to move. The views from Filopapo Hill are much better.
