Athens Full Day Private Tour

Aristotelis is wonderful! We truly made a new friend in Athens. He is enthusiastic, positive, highly knowledgeable, speaks excellent English and is a fabulous guide. He really knows his history and his city/country. I would book again with him in a hearbeat and I would highly recommend him for any tour that he leads. The transportation he arranged for our group of eight was brand new and perfect and our driver, Ares, is also a great guy and very good driver. Aristotelis also helped me with some dinner reservations when I was concerned the language would be a barrier. I wish we had booked all our different tours with Aristotelis- but I will know for next time. :-)

Couple knowledge, friendliness, effortless transportation, flexibility with enthusiastic love of history and culture and you get Aristotalis! He is the best!

If you want the best tour of Athens and to learn the history, see everything and truly be with someone who was born and raised in the city of Athens, look no further, Aristotelis is fantastic in every way. We were able to get off the ship early and he was there to pick us up. Highly recommend getting an early start to stay ahead of the crowds as the main sites get very busy. Right from the minute he started driving, Aristotle began giving us historical information. We knew right then we were going to have a great day. His passion and sense of humor are shine through. He is the consummate professional and was always positioning our group to have the best views, best photo opportunities and areas where we could hear everything he was telling us. He also brought his iPad and a small booklet of photos to show us what were were seeing looked like back in all its glory. As a trained historian and archeologist, he is a wealth of information and made all the ancient sites we visited come alive. He is very flexible to do take your group wants. We wanted to stop for lunch and he brought us to a very nice authentic Greek restaurant where they really took care of us. He also is more than happy to take photos of your group and they are all fantastic. Everyone in my group said he is the best guide we have ever been with. If you want to see Athens, you don’t need to look at any other guides, just book Aristotelis - you won’t be disappointed!! Thank you Aristotelis for an amazing experience that we won’t forget!

Aristotelis was amazing to work with. He was very helpful and informative as well as professional. His response time was quick and he created the perfect itinerary for a full day in Athens even recommending incredible restaurants! We had several changes that needed to be made along the way and he helped correct those with ease. Aristotelis went above and beyond to make each tour personalized and perfect! I look forward to working with him again soon! Thank you Aristotelis for everything!

First and foremost, I want to say how much I enjoyed my first day in Athens with Aristotelis. I will remember it, for ever! Aristotelis clearly loved his work and country. His dedication, enthusiasm, and genuine care for my wellbeing really shone through every precious moment we had together. He poured his heart and soul into everything. His positive energy, life skills and enthusiasm were transformative and he never tired. At the very start of our day together, he promised me some surprises, which filled my day with joy and expectation. IMPORTANTLY, HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT (for obvious reasons, I will not disclose them and spoil the mystery!). His eloquence, command of English and deep knowledge, took me on a journey through time from the ancient world to modern day Athens. We explored every nook and cranny of landmarks like the Acropolis and Parthenon, leaving no stone unturned, so to say. His encyclopedic knowledge, impressive qualifications, service to his country and experience gained from his childhood as a local lad growing up in the neighbourhood of the Acropolis, provided insights and filled the gaps that I did not realise were missing even in the best guide books and AI. At times, it seemed that his knowledge was boundless and there was no question he could not answer. So, it was striking how, with so little effort, he was able to adapted our agenda/itinerary to my specific interests – doubling the reward of being with him and choosing him as my guide! As our day together concluded, I felt deeply rewarded for choosing Aristotelis as my guide. I felt I had found a new best friend in a city/country that gave us the foundations of civilisation, as we know it. Athena would be proud! Salut.

Great day with Aris. Travelled with six people including my 80+ year old mom. Everyone enjoyed the day. He is knowledgeable, passionate about his city and a really nice person to spend the day with. Very attentive to making sure everyone enjoyed the day and learned about Athens. His time with the presidential guard brought an interesting insight into the ceremony and history. Highly recommend him and wouldn't waste time searching for another guide if this fits your plan, you won't go wrong with Aris.
