Itinerary

Your private tour begins with pickup from your hotel/apartment in Athens, the airport, or Piraeus port. First, you'll travel to the iconic Acropolis, where you'll witness the city's rich history etched into the Parthenon, Erechtheion, and Propylaea. Then you will visit the new Acropolis Museum, an architectural marvel housing a vast collection of treasures. Next, head to the city center to visit Syntagma Square, the Greek Parliament, and the impressive Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the heart of modern Athens and the Athens trilogy. Your tour continues to the Panathenaic Stadium, the site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Nearby, you'll enjoy the cool shade of the National Gardens and see the Zappeion Megaro Hall, one of the city's most important neoclassical buildings. Afterward, you'll visit the Ancient Agora, the historical center of Athenian life, and the Roman Agora, a testament to the city's Roman era. The route then takes you through the picturesque Plaka area and up to Lycabettus Hill, where you can savor the breathtaking view of Athens. Finally, you'll be returned to your hotel, the airport, or the port, concluding a comprehensive and enriching tour of this historic city.

I had the honor to spend the day with George! He picked me up from my hotel on time and since I was traveling alone, I told him that since it was extremely hot (over 100f) that I just wanted to see th (Read More)e must sees and eat good food. George took me everywhere and gave me the option to get out and walk around, he had good knowledge of the city. I spent a big chunk of our time at Acropolis. George came prepared with plenty of water bottles for me and was very reliable on where to find him when I was done with my own walking tour of the sights. He took me to this flea market area to eat and I found an amazing gyro place, with tons of other Americans. As a solo traveler, I loved this. I didn't feel so alone! I was only in Athens for 24 hours and was exhausted and felt that our time was well spent and I couldn't be happier.
