About this activity

Whether you want a tour of the highlights of the city of Athens or you want to get under its skin and visit all of the museums and attractions, we can fill the itinerary your way.

We offer a customizable private tour that allows you to create an itinerary that perfectly matches your interests and preferences.

Our official guide will provide a stress-free travel experience by offering a variety of options for your tour. With our skip-the-line access to the must-see Acropolis, a global symbol of classical spirit and civilization, you won't have to wait in long queues.

Additionally, we now offer an extended program that includes an extra three hours of exploration with a visit to the Temple of Poseidon on Cape Sounio.

By choosing the extended option you'll get to enjoy a scenic drive along the Athenian coastline, which includes passing by numerous beaches, a stop at the stunning Lake Vouliagmeni for a photo opportunity and a carte-postale-worthy photo stop next to the temple.

Good to know

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • The duration of tours are approximate, the exact duration will depend on the time of day and traffic conditions
  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately
  • Our agency works with professional tour guides who are independent contractors. They are contracted for a duration of 4 hours per tour. The total duration of each tour, which ranges from 4 to 5 hours, takes into account the time spent on transportation from the client's pickup location and the traffic conditions on the booked date and time
  • Cape Sounio extension adds ~4-5 hours to the overall tour duration
  • Cape Sounio extension does not include professional tour guide and entrance fees, travellers are visiting the site by themselves and this portion of the tour is conducted by an english speaking, history-proficient driver and potentially a tour host depending on availability on the tour date
  • For operational reasons, the tour guide may meet you at the first archaeological site, and you will be picked up by your driver and transported to the guide's location to begin the tour there
  • The vehicle provided for our private tours depends on the size of your group, and all options are from the Mercedes luxury range, featuring brand-new models. This could be a 4-seater sedan, a 6-seater van, or a 15-seater minibus. In some cases, a larger vehicle than your group size may be used—for example, it's quite common to use a 15-seater minibus for groups with fewer than 15 participants
