What To Expect
Acropolis
Sightseeing in Athens starts with the hill of Acropolis which will make your day. On the historical hill, you will have the opportunity to see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Temple of the Athena Nike, the monumental gateway (Propylaea), the Erechtheum and of course the famous Parthenon, the main temple dedicated to the virgin goddess Athena.
Propylaea
The Propylaea is the monumental entrances to the sacred area dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of the city. Built by the architect Mnesicles with Pentelic marble, their design was avant-garde. To the south-west of the Propylaea, on a rampart protecting the main entrance to the Acropolis, is the Ionian temple of Apteros Nike.

Incredible Private Tour of Athens
Traveler525865,Jun 29, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had a wonderful half-day tour with our guide, Yiannis. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We learned a great deal about the historical sites and hit all of the must-see sights in Athens in a perfectly paced tour of the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, the changing of the guard, and the Panathenaic Stadium. We highly recommend this tour, especially if your time in Athens is limited.

5.00Very good service. Talked about the history in the air conditioned car, so we wouldn’t have to be in the sun. Allowed us to stop for food and a coffee which was very nice. Detail-oriented and answered any questions we had. Would definitely recommend to someone who wants to see all the major attractions in Athens.

5.00Our guide Panos was absolutely wonderful. He picked the 4 of us up at our hotel in a private car at 8am. Our first stop was the Acropolis where he had pre purchased our tickets and we had time to explore on our own. Later we saw different areas of the city which included stops to see the changing of the guard, walk through the botanical gardens, drove to the highest point in Athens for spectacular views and photos of the city, and saw the Olympic stadium, all the while Panos shared interesting historical facts. Panos was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. Instead of dropping us back at the hotel, we asked if he could recommend a good restaurant for lunch and drop us there instead. . The restaurant was delicious. The tour and our guide Panos were both a 10/10.
Our Beautiful and Wonderful Athens & Acropolis

5.00We would like to highly recommend our private tour guide, Ocean. He was very polite and very informative of all the beautiful sites in Athens. In fact, Ocean was the most informative tour guide we have ever had (and we have been on many, many tours). We learned a lot and enjoyed him very much! We would want him again if we ever come back to Athens.
Private van tour of all the Highlights of Athens
Karen M,Jun 22, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00I booked a private van tour for 8 people and the company provided a very roomy, comfortable van with room for our luggage. The tour operator was extremely responsive to my requests. Our driver/guide Tolis was super fun, knowledgeable, adaptable and helpful in securing a dinner reservation for our group. We spent just the right amount of time at the Acropolis while the "drive-by" landmarks were fine to see in that manner. The highlight was the changing of the guard outside the prime minister's residence.

5.00Peter was prompt in meeting us at our hotel as we began our day of seeing the sights. He was very entertaining and enjoyable to listen to as we learned so much along our tour. Because of his knowledge of the city, we were able to avoid crowds to enjoy many of the sights we wanted to see and visit! We had plenty of time to spend at each site, making the entire day very enjoyable.

5.00Giannis was our tour guide and he was stand-out the best tour guide we have had on our holiday, where we stopped of at Athens as our port of call on our cruise. He was on top of communications for pickup at the cruise port, tailored our experience and assisted us with our unexpected pharmacy stop too. Very knowledgeable about Athens and had very interesting facts to share. At the end of the trip he dropped us off (at our request) to get possibly the best souvlaki I have eaten, before we headed back to our cruise ship. The tour itself was the private half day experience to see the Acropolis and other major sites. Car was excellent, aircon, and comfortable journey throughout.
