Good tour of Athens for an overview
The Tuktuk tour easily got us around Athens to see some of the outlining spots including the Olympic stadium and Mount Lycabettus (Lykavittos / Λυκαβηττός). There were plenty of stops for pictures. And I almost left out that got to see the changing of the guard.

Great time with Christos in Athens!
We had the absolute pleasure of touring Athens with Christos! Before our tour, he took the time to chat with us and carefully plan the day, making sure we could see all the sites we wanted in the most efficient order. During our drive, Christos shared fascinating stories of Greek mythology and history. His knowledge is truly impressive, and he brought Athens to life with every story. He also knew all the best drop-off and pick-up locations, making it easy to maximize our time at each stop. Whenever we were ready to move on, he was there waiting for us. With only half a day to explore Athens, we weren't sure how much we could fit in, but Christos made it happen! One of our favorite stops was the Balcony of Athens, a beautiful viewpoint where he shared historical insights, pointed out important landmarks, and helped us visualize what the city looked like in the past. If you're visiting Athens, don't miss the opportunity to tour with Christos. He's knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. He truly made our visit unforgettable!

Private Tour is the way to go ‼️
George was our tour guide and he arrived on time and accommodating. It seems everywhere you go in Greece there is traffic. Has nothing to do with George, but it is part of the process and allowing time to go from one attraction to another. The amount of people in the attraction areas is a lot.George shared a lot of history. It’s inevitable as you look around how much there is to learn about this region.Stepping on aged marble to get to Acropolis was an adventure.George even stopped at a local coffee shop to get a fresh squeezed orange juice and use the toilet.It was stunning weather in Piraeus !

The relaxing thermal lake felt like a magical place. The drive to the Temple of Poseidon was beautiful, with stunning little coves and beaches along the way. Yoannis, our driver, was very informative and thoughtful, offering us water and delicious Greek sweets. A wonderful experience!

Amazing tour
We had an amazing time! Our driver/guide very knowledgeable and accommodating. The Lake was gorgeous and the sunset at the Cape was surreal. An underrated part of the trip is the scenic drive out to the Cape with pretty ocean views. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone with an appeal for experiencing the scenic views outside the chaotic get city of Athens.

Amazing insights on the beautiful city of Athens
My wife and I booked this city tour for our day in Athens, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything was seamless, relaxed, and genuinely fun.A huge part of that was our driver, Dimitris. He was punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing stories about the city's history and everyday life that you'd never get from a guidebook. He knew exactly when to beat the crowds, where to find the best views, and which spots were worth lingering at. Navigating Athens traffic looked effortless in his hands, and he made us feel completely at ease the whole day.What really stood out was how personal it felt. Dimitris took the time to understand what we were interested in and tailored the day around us, with great recommendations for food and places to visit afterward. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a local friend.If you're visiting Athens, I can't recommend this tour, and especially Dimitris, highly enough. We left with great memories and a real appreciation for the city. Thank you, Dimitris!

Meteor was the most beautiful place we have been!
We had an excellent private excursion to Meteora and would highly recommend it! Our driver, Aris, picked us up right at our hotel in Athens and was extremely personable and knowledgeable. The drive to Meteora is quite long, but Aris made the journey so enjoyable with his interesting conversations and knowledge of Greece. Meteora itself was absolutely breathtaking, and the entire day was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. Thank you, Aris, for such a memorable experience!

Athens: Meteora Monasteries Tour with Live Guide & Greek Lunch
chriskI1968DN, Sep 2026
A well planned tour and a very different part of Greece than the cities or the seaside experiences.
The drive from Athens and the drive back takes up a lot of the day. Having Wi-Fi and charging ability for our smart phones, meant that we could take photos of the scenic drive to Kalambaka and I was posting many photos for my friends to see along the way . In the middle of each drive, we stopped at a nice travel center where there was fresh and packaged foods and plenty of space to move and use the restrooms. The time at the “Rocks” as our bus driver.Vasili called them is shorter than you imagine but still plenty of time. We went inside three monasteries and stopped the bus several times for scenic views and photo opportunities. Kosta, our local guide was full of information about the history of the area from how the rocks were formed to how the area was settled. He shared factual and legendary information to give us a full picture. We went to three monasteries., the first one had the most steps, and according to my smart phone, I walked up the equivalent of 12 flights of stairs! Many in our group were there just to enjoy the wonder of it all, for myself, it was also a religious pilgrimage. I was traveling by myself I felt that both our driver for Vasili and our guide Kosta made sure that I was getting all of my questions answered and having the full experience. An excellent value for the money for anyone. This would not be enjoyable for somebody who is not fully ambulatory and could not climb stairs..

Athens Highlights: Urban Run experience with a Local

A rewarding running experience I won’t forget
Great running guide - George - who tailored the run to my pace, and tailored a course that brought in various ancient sites across Athens including a run around the track at the roof level of Olympic stadium. I gained interesting insights to Athens, had a wonderful chat with George (although I was puffing a bit on some of the hills), and got some exercise at a peaceful (and cool) time of day (we set off at 7am from a well-known central spot). Recommended for any new running visitor to Athens, or even a returning one. I’d certainly do this again … and will look out for similar on other cities around the world. Thank you George!
