I've been a licensed Greek tourist guide since 1987 and speak fluent English, French, Italian and Greek. As a licensed guide, I am able to accompany you into the monuments and museums. I'm looking forward to sharing with you my knowledge, love and respect for the Greek heritage that is so abundant in Athens. I know all the hidden spots only native Greeks know. Please join me for an unforgettable tour. I am a professional fully licensed tour guide since 1987 for the whole of Greece (only licensed guides are permitted to guide in archeological sites in Greece). I guide in the above languages fluently!

Overview of your Athens tour

The tour starts from your ship or hotel. I will pick you up, with my car (Up to 3-4pax)and do a big city tour of Athens. This is a tour that gives you the best feeling about the city. The center of Athens is a 20 min. drive from the port and on our way we will visit the ancient Olympic Stadium, see the biggest temple in Greece for Zeus, the Lycabettus hill for amazing fotos, the food and the Parliament. Our next stop will be the new Acropolis museum, now globally recognised as one of the best in the world. From there we will stroll to the Acropolis. It is a must to walk in the Plaka, the old aristocratic residential area, and have lunch in a traditional restaurant with a glass of wine or ouzo. Usually, the weather is warm, sunny and pleasant all year round to enjoy your meal outdoors, even in winter time. Let me guide you as you explore the historic city of Athens in a way that will make you remember this tour as the best you have had so far. Any requests you may have or suggestions are more than welcome!

Diane was a great guide; she is very knowledgeable about the city and speaks perfect English. She drove us through various parts of the the city of Athens while providing an extensive description of the city, and allowing multiple stops for taking pictures. Diane then gave us a very extensive tour of the Parthenon, where she told us a a lot about the history of the city and of the different building at the Parthenon site. Diane also gave us a curated tour of the museum at the Parthenon, providing a lot of information about the exhibits. She also took us to a great restaurant for lunch before dropping us off at our hotel.

Diana had everything perfectly timed and we arrived everywhere at the best possible time (like getting to the Acropolis at just the right time before the next batch of timed tickets were allowed in - meaning no line for us). She was knowledgeable and ferocious when she saw a pair of pickpockets targeting a large group of tourists. It was a great day.

Diana is an outstanding guide. Diana showed many sites in the city and then took us to the Acropolis. Diana did everything she could to limit our walking. She would drop us off and the go get the car to pick us up. The Acropolis Museum is outstanding. Diana made reservations for lunch at a local restaurant. It was very good and we had a great visit.

Diana was very knowledgeable. We saw a lot of Athens in the short time available to us. The traffic in Athens is certainly a challenge, but Diana handled it like a champ. I recommend this tour and guide.
