We explore Athens as wanderers, not as typical tourists. Just like you, we get thrilled about traveling, historical sites, magnificent landscapes, and capturing moments through photography. We are passionate about what we do. Flexibility is our key strength, enabling us to traverse nifty lanes rather than just gaze at the landscapes from the confines of a bus window. If you’re crunched for time but don’t want to miss out on what Athens has to offer, opt for our five-hour tour.

We commence the day with a convenient pick up from your chosen location and lead you to the Acropolis Hill, Zeus Temple, among other attractions. You have the liberty to explore each site on your own, or hire an archaeologist guide for an added cost.

Great City Tour - Our driver Christos was right on time to pick us up from the port. We had previously messaged the vendor with things we wanted to see and Christie got the message because the tour took us to all the highlights of the city including the Acropolis and Olympic Stadium as well as some of the best hilltop viewing points. The driver cannot come to the sites with you but he will give you easy directions and wait in convenient spots.

Half day tour of Athens - Our driver was the best! His name was Stephano (spelling?). He took complete consideration that we did not have too much time so he made sure we saw the highlights. His lunch recommendation was wonderful and Stephano translated perfectly for us. This was a last minute booking and our driver was right on time at the port where our ship came in. Highly recommend!

Very accommodating - Our guide was terrific. He arrived on time and was very pleasant and enjoyable. I requested a different pick up and drop off time and location drop off which he gladded did. I also requested that he speak in a loud voice because I was traveling with my dad that was hard of hearing and he wonderful at making sure my dad heard everything he said. He brought us to great sites. Well worth the cost.
