I arranged a six hour private tour including a visit to Corinth with tour operator LS Tours. I also included for a licensed tour guide for the day. I was picked up at the cruise terminal in the morning and dropped off at my hotel after the tour. Panos at LS Tours was very accommodating with my specific requests. Driver Alex and tour guide Christina were amazing. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable about the places we visited. We were able to spend a very adequate amount of time at the Olympic Stadium, Corinth and the Acropolis where I learned a tremendous amount more than I learned in my high school history classes. I captured many great photos. I highly recommend LS Tours for your visit to Athens.

We enjoyed our visit to the Acropolis & our driver showed us many of the sights in Athens. We appreciated his efforts to show us the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We knew that we had to purchase our own tickets to the Acropolis but were surprised when we had to pay entrance fees into other sites as well.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hello Desley_N,
I would like to let you know that you don't have to pay entrance fees for the stops described in the itinerary besides Acropolis and Acropolis museum. I would be grateful if you mentioned which sites you had to pay entrance fees for. Our policy is never to rush our guests and our drivers are advised to take you to see as many as possible highlights in Athens so your driver/guide made an extra stop for you to visit the Temple of the Olympian Zeus which is not included in the itinerary and therefore you had to pay for your entrance ticket. I guess that you haven't noticed that this stop isn't included in the itinerary. Also, it is a private tour, none of the sites is mandatory to visit, if you didn't want to enter the site you could have skipped it. We always do our best and often we extend the duration of the tour without additional charge in order our guests to be happy and see the Best of Athens.

Visilis was our driver and he was great! We told him that after the acropolis we wanted to do a little shopping so he took us downtown. He also suggested a great rooftop spot where we could have a cocktail with a view of the acropolis. Was a perfect afternoon!

Alex was very knowledgeable and informative of all the sites that we visited in Athens. He took a bit of extra time to ensure we saw the changing of the guards ceremony .
I would highly recommend him as your tour guide of Athens!

Our tour with Alex was wonderful. He was a great driver and took very good care of us. He gave us plenty of time at each stop and we also enjoyed his commentary. He informed us of the transportation strike the next day and offered to take us on a “tour” to the airport. Definitely ask for Alex when you book your tour!
