I initiated this tour as a local enthusiast, eager to showcase Greece's landmarks and cultural essence to visitors. This exclusive tour offers an optimal Athenian experience, featuring the Parthenon—a testament to Athenian democracy and Western heritage, and explores the birthplaces of democracy, philosophy, and the arts. Our journey includes a city drive, blending traditional districts with contemporary architecture. Starting at Acropolis Hill, we proceed to the Temple of Zeus via Hadrian's Arch, then to the Panathenaic Stadium, the site of the 1896 Olympic Games. We'll witness the guard change, admire Athens' architectural trio, and ascend Lycabettus Hill for panoramic views. Post-lunch, we explore the Ancient Agora and the distinguished New Acropolis Museum. KINDLY NOTE: Should your group size vary, please reach out to me directly for a tailor-made tour.
A perfect day with an exceptional guide, Vasilis. He was informative, helpful, generous and seemingly tireless. We saw so much of Athens we came to recognize where we were on only our first full day in the city. Highly recommend this tour company and Vasilis!
After 10 tour guides in 12 days throughout the Adriatic and Greece, Vasilis was clearly the best of them all! He made our entire trip better. Vasilis was responsive to all of my emails. Vasilis was meticulous in his planning (from providing the right size car, to ensuring we stayed hydrated to getting us to the front of the line in time before all the other tourists, etc.). Vasilis was empathetic to the unique things we wanted to see (as well as those we weren't interested in seeing). Vasilis was prompt from arrival to drop off and pick up times. Vasilis set up a great, delicious and timely lunch. We saw, heard and learned from Vasili's knowledge and love for Athens. Vasilis singlehandedly made us want to come back and see Athens again. But only if we can get him as our Tour Guide again. Five stars isn't enough, but it is all that we are allowed to use. Strongly recommend Vasilis!
Perfect day with Vasilis! He picked us up at the cruise port and gave us a beautiful day - full of the sights & sounds of his lovely city. He was SO much fun, interspersing humor within all the details and history that this city has to offer🩵
Vasilis was an amazing tour guide. We had a great van for all of our group and he took us to all the important historical sites in Athens with great parking and tickets etc. He knew so much about the city and great places to see. He arranged an authentic lunch and we had so much fun. Anyone wanting a really good tour of Athens should book Vasilis.
Vasilis was a great guide. He picked us up at the cruise terminal with a large van that was very comfortable for the eight of us and fit all our luggage. He gave us a lot of information on all the sites we saw. The lunch that was included in our full day tour was wonderful. I would definitely recommend Vasilis to anyone looking for a tour in Athens.
You should definitely hire Vasilis to do a tour of Athens. He was very knowledgeable about the history and sights and made it a very fun day for us and our 3 kids (age 7, 10 and 14). He took us to all the great sights in his air conditioned van and gave us a lot of great detail about it all. He was professional, and easy to talk to and fun. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.
