Explore Monastiraki and Plaka, vibrant districts filled with markets, shops, and cafes. Enjoy an hour of free time to immerse yourself in Greek culture and savor local delicacies. At the end, we’ll return to the port, leaving you with memories to last a lifetime. Let us make your day in Athens truly special!

Small group of nice...

Published on Jun, 2025

Small group of nice people is worth to travel, the guide was very nice & helpful, don’t have time to explore the place, long line to the bathroom, & has to climb a lot of steps

10/10 Recommend

Published on May, 2025

This tour was amazing! We got to expierence the best of athens in such a short time, and it was truly a unique expierence. If you want a longer, more in depth tour of Athens then this is not for you whatsoever. But, to see and experience the best athens has to offer then this tour is for you. It’s short and sweet, and the guides were spectacular. Here’s what it consisted of: Small stop in Piraeus for photos Stop at the presidents mansion in Athens Stop at a shopping square for lunch / free time Acropolis

A wonderful experience!

The tour guide was personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. She spoke English fluently, and was easy to understand. The tour stops were amazing and took us to all the places of interest we were hoping to see. The minibus was brand new and very comfortable. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn all about the area and traditions!

Truly wonderful experience.
