Convenient and fun!

Amelia_R, Sep 2023

Dimitri did a great job of catering to our needs. We saw the main sights, found a nice lunch spot and was given time to shop. Being picked up and dropped off at our cruise was well worth it!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

A big thank you from Dimitris and all the team for your nice review. We love to read comments that you had great time with us during the Athens Tour. We hope to see you again in the future for more adventure. Best regards Elegant Greek Tours Team 🇬🇷

Half Day Athens - Outstanding Experience

Jacob_S, May 2023

We had only one full day in Athens before departing and selected the half day Athens tour and paid just few Euros more for the larger vehicle and it was so worth it. Visibility to key attractions that were pointed out by our driver/guide Dimitris we could easily see. We saw and visited so many sites and made so many memories. We have used Viator many times and have never had a less than outstanding experience. Always so informed of the area, friendly and professional. Half day Athens was perfect.

Response from Host, May 2023

Fantastic tour of Athens!

Sheila_T, Mar 2023

Our tour of Athens was wonderful. Alex is an amazing tour guide. He has a great knowledge of Greek history. The tour company gave us a great suggestion on where we could park our rental car and the bus met us there to start our tour. All the sites we amazing.The Acropolis museum, the Parthanon, Mars Hill, Temple of Zeus, the changing of the guards. Highly recommend this tour!

Alex was wonderful! Informative, considerate and went above and beyond. We love the Acropolis, Olympic stadium and watching the changing of the guards in front of the presidential palace. Excellent tour!

A great way to see the city. Mike was our driver, he picked us up and dropped us off at all of the sites. We were able to roam freely since we weren’t part of a big tour group. Highly recommend!

Athens Greece Half Day Private Tour with Elegant Greek Tours

Lori_R, Nov 2019

On a Norwegian Mediterranean cruise, our port stop at Malta was cancelled due to bad weather and we were rerouted to Athens. We were able to book last minute through Viator this half day private tour. The weather was raining but our driver was able to take us the main sites, Acropolis Museum, Temple of Zeus, Hardian's Arch. Van was very comfortable and spacious. Would recommend.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

The Best Tour We Have Taken

Deborah_B, Oct 2019

When on a Royal Caribbean cruise, we booked an Elegant Greek Tours half-day private six person tour of Athens through Viator. Our guide, Alex, was so professional and accommodating. He picked us up promptly in a Mercedes SUV at the port terminal. At each of the stops (Acropolis, Temple of Zeus and the Acropolis Museum), he gave us as much time as we wanted. When we wished to skip a fourth stop and get a local beverage, he took us to a great little restaurant on the water off the beaten path. Alex could not have been nicer. Our tour was supposed to last 4-5 hours, and yet he told us it didn't matter how long. We ended up with a 6 hour tour. This tour cost us around 100 euros per couple. The ship's small tour (25 people) cost around $149 per person. We felt this was a great experience and would highly recommend Alex and Elegant Greek Tours for future travelers.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

We are glad that you are happy with our services. We always say that all of our tours are extremely value for money.. Thank you for the review. We hope you had a safe and pleasant trip back home. All the best

Athens private tour

Guillermo_I, Sep 2019

By far the best private tour we've taken abroad! Our driver/guide, Dimitris was excellent! Highly recommend this tour.

Interesting and a must see but...

palgravepete, Aug 2019

Our driver and guide Alex was really helpful, flexible and informative. We highly recommend him. The main attractions in Athens are a must see, but sadly the venues are very crowded, and in some cases (such as the Gardens) are suffering from neglect, likely due to low budgets.

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Thank you for your review. It is the season that in Athens there are millions of tourists like in the most touristic capitals. We are trying the best, taking the tickets for you to skip the lines but the crowds in the sites, it is not something that we can manage. We hope to see you again one day. All the best.
