About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 358narenh0 contributionsScenic Athens TourThe tour was well-organised. Andreas is very knowledgeable and friendly. He provided detailed explanations about all the sites in an engaging manner. I highly recommend this tour.Written September 29, 2024
- kimsS6597DC0 contributionsMeaningful Biblical Tour of CorinthOur private tour to Corinth with Fotis was perfect! We were thrilled to visit Biblical sites and walk in the footsteps of Paul. It was especially meaningful to stand on The Bema in Ancient Corinth where Paul preached. Later in the trip Fotis took us to the beautiful Corinthian church that Paul designed/established. We also climbed the Acrocorinth to see the ruins and get more history of the city. Fotis took us to Marino's for lunch and we enjoyed delicious food and getting to know him even better. Fotis is a very talented, expert, fun and engaging guide. And he's a very kind and gracious person as well. We highly recommend this tour!Written September 22, 2024
- 214nainat0 contributionsA Must-See: Delphi and Arachova - A Perfect Day TripThe trip to Delphi was absolutely breathtaking! The scenic views along the way were simply stunning. Delphi is a must-see destination for any visitor to Greece. Booking this trip through Athens Tours was a wise decision. Our expert guide, a local with a deep knowledge of Greek mythology, provided invaluable insights into the rich history and significance of Delphi. With their guidance, we were able to fully appreciate the site's cultural and historical importance. Stop by the village of Arachova, located just 16-20 minutes from Delphi. Arachova offers a unique shopping experience with its local crafts and souvenirs. Please note that Arachova is closed on Sundays, so plan your visit accordingly If you plan to visit during the summer, be sure to pack a sun hat and comfortable walking shoes.Written September 15, 2024
- 859tinaf0 contributionsFirst class, great experience!Our driver & tour guide Alex, was so knowledgeable, always on-time, helpful, so accommodating and patient with our group of 7 retired ladies. He provided so much insight, took us to a family-owned local Greek restaurant that was exceptionally good, and made sure we had great access to all the unique ancient must-see landmarks. We even saw the Prime Minister’s Palace as it was lined with military guards in traditional Greek dress as the band played, getting ready to greet foreign diplomats! We saw the Parliament Building as the Changing of the Guard occurred. We shopped, dined, hiked thru incredible ruins, enjoyed spectacular views, and learned so much. Thank you for a memorable experience!Written September 5, 2024
- christopherpU9175FZ0 contributionsWhat a fabulous tour!Our group of six friends thoroughly enjoyed our full day private tour of Athens and Corinth thanks largely to our excellent driver & tour guide, Andreas. Andreas is so patient and friendly, a true proud Athenian. He is knowledgeable about the region, and he took the time to answer our questions about the sites that we visited. I will recommend this tour to my family and friends, and I will encourage them to specifically request for Andreas' service if he is available to accompany them.Written August 9, 2024
- Climber515115994880 contributionsAmazing Highlights of AthensThomas picked us up at the port at disembarkation as we started our 3hr tour of Athens highlights. Thomas's knowledge of Athens and professionalism was amazing as we enjoyed so many panoramic moments before he drove us to the Airport for our departure. Definitely recommend this tour as you can have your luggage secured in the car and enjoy sightseeing stress free. Thank you Thomas for making the last few hours of our vacation memorable.Written August 4, 2024
- S5768EBdavidp0 contributionsA private tour is the best!While it was a VERY hot day, we very much enjoyed our time with guide, Michael, and hearing his perspective on Greece now and then. He joined us for a marvelous lunch outside the Corinth site. The Acrocorinth was a surprise treat we didn't expect. We highly recommend this tour - especially during the shoulder months.Written August 2, 2024
- Climber500360581560 contributionsExcellent tour of Athens and Corinth in a dayThe tour was better than expected. The driver was excellent and very professional. He gave us excellent information and background along the way. I would definitely recommend this tour.Written July 30, 2024
- amonika200 contributionsWonderful Private Tour of Athens with Cruise Drop OffWe loved everything about this tour. I unfortunately am terrible with names and cannot remember our tour guides name, but he was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible as we worked our way through Athens for our tour. He picked us up promptly at 9 AM from our hotel and for the next few hours we went all over Athens to view / see as much as we possibly could. Some highlights were: Ancient Agora (we spent an hour walking around inside and learning about it), Zeus Temple, President and Prime Minister homes, the best view of Athens, Panathenaic Stadium and several other places. Our tour guide answered all of our questions on Athens and we learned so much about this area of the world. We really appreciated the knowledge and experience of this personalized tour and my family loved that it was just us and the tour guide throughout the experience. We were dropped off at the pier for our cruise on Royal Caribbean on time with no delays or issues. We chose not to see the Acropolis as part of this tour as we saw it the night before. Instead we saw the Ancient Agora. The tickets for the Acropolis or other tour sites that you stop at are not included in the overall charge of the tour. Be aware that you will want to purchase these tickets at the time you book the tour based on what you want to see. We worked with Athens Tours Greece to book our tickets. The tour company was fantastic to work with and answered our (many many) questions and even provided a recommendation on a hotel for us. They were always helpful and available to answer our questions.Written July 30, 2024
- Road464578371370 contributionsAmazingly Wonderful time in Athens!The trip was outstanding! Our driver Andreas was amazing! He was everything we’d hoped for and more. Knowledgeable, friendly, punctual, responsive. He also referred a perfect restaurant for us to go and try home cooked authentic Greek dishes. It was wonderful as well. Iur son is vegan and he made sure to let the cooks know and they provided delightful dishes we all enjoyed. I can not say enough good things about him. The entire company as a whole was great to work with. They communicated timely and gave great advice on how to make the best of our trip. Like what tickets to buy in advance to ensure we were able to see the sites we wanted and not have to wait in lines! This is a great tour and I highly recommend Andreas and Athens Shore Excursions. In addition, the Mercedes Van he picked us up in was just as advertised. Very nice! A memorable time we will never forget!! A Heartfelt Thank You Andreas and Athens Shore Excursions!!Written July 23, 2024

The ancient monasteries built on top of huge rocks are a sight to remember!

- susanlE1301OC0 contributionsAthens in 8 hours - MUST DO!Only had a couple of days in Athens and this 8-hour tour with (additional cost) attraction tickets was PERFECT. Michael, our tour guide, was prompt, personable and very knowledgeable. Introduced me to freddo espresso/cappuccino and a local, family style, deli (like), off beaten path restaurant that was AMAZING with small plates of all the offerings, so you had the full local food experience. Sorry I can not recall the name as they deserve a shout out too. Saw and experienced many amazing sites and Michael even accommodated our request for side trip to see seaside and still arrived back at hotel at allotted time. I am sure all their tours are spectacular but for us being in Athens for such a short time this was PERFECT!Written July 8, 2024
- S8208DCbaileys0 contributionsGreat tour!I had a great day on my tour! Michael was a great tour guide, full of knowledge and experience. I loved seeing things all over the city and hearing about the history. Thanks for a great day!Written June 23, 2024

This was the perfect tour for us to experience Athens in the short time we had post cruise. We arranged for pickup at the cruise terminal in Athens. Our driver was prompt and courteous throughout the day. The car was newer, clean and comfortable. We were able to experience all the highlights of Athens as well as see the ancient city of Corinth. We also arranged drop-off at our hotel at the end of the day. We are so glad we chose this tour and would highly recommend Athens Tours Greece.

We had such an amazing time while visiting Athens / Corinth. We had an amazing driver that shared a lot of information with us. He went way above and beyond, taking us to places that we didn't even realize that we were going to visit. He filled the whole time and was willing to do more than expected. I would highly recommend this tour / company to anyone visiting Athens. They communicated through email and our driver was there at Piraeus port when we got off the ship.

George was great. Knowledgeable and was able to cater the tour for our needs and the fact that it was Good Friday and opening hours were different for some of the sites. Would highly recommend this company.

Panos was wonderful! On time, easy going, friendly, and very informative. I asked to stop at the Corinth Canal and bungee jump and he was so great! He took photos and cheered me on. The tour was fantastic and seeing where Paul began was wonderful. Athens was a fun and cool car ride.

This tour was a lot of fun. We enjoyed seeing the sites were Paul had been especially Corinth. The air conditioned car made things so much easier than places where we've tried to get there on our own. The driver Theodoro was very knowledgeable and helpful. All of us enjoyed this tour very much

Worth the price! I couldn't have imagined being able to see all the sites in Athens in the amount of time we had without using Athens Tours. We had 2 1/2 days in Athens before we visited some islands and this tour was phenomenal! Our specialist was Giorgos, and he was so knowledgeable about all of the areas we visited. He made sure that we hit all of the areas in Athens as well as Corinth, I feel like he went above and beyond giving us a better view of Athens as a city and Greece as a country. He also recommended some amazing places for the Greek islands we were visiting! We were 3 ladies traveling alone in a foreign country, and on our first night walking in the city we got lost. Once we told him this the latter part of our tour he made sure we knew how to walk back to our hotel from various parts of town. He pointed out landmarks and streets so we knew how to get back, Google walking maps aren't great here, so this was SO beneficial to us! I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone I know traveling to Greece.

The driver (Chris) and guide (Helen) arrived promptly on schedule for our pick-up.
Helen (our guide) was knowledgeable and was able to provide excellent information at each site - answered all our questions and gave great perspectives on the features and history of each location. She was clear in her communication and allowed us time to enjoy the sites and get good photographs.
We did not feel rushed in our tour - perhaps the fact that it was off season (February) allowed us more time with fewer other visitors to contend with.
I would recommend Athens Tours Greece and Helen to my friends for future tours of Greece.

This was a very fun and informative day! Our tour guide picked us up at the Athens port, and we were off. We saw the major sites in Athens (Acropolis, Mars Hill, Parthenon, Diana’s temple, etc) with plenty of time to wander through each. Then we were off to Corinth - we saw the Corinth Canal and our driver told us the history of the canal. After that we hit ancient Corinth. First stop was Aquila and Pricilla’s homesite which is now home to a church, and then the the ancient city. They have a lot of ruins, and a really nice museum. After that we checked out the castle on the hill overlooking Corinth. It was a good, full day and well worth the price

Logistics of the PT Footsteps of Paul tour were well organized: hotel, transportation including air conditioned bus, cruise ship, and taxi to the airport. Less than 1/2 of the daily tour guides spoke openly about faith-only gave historical information. Of the two guides identifying as believers, one was well versed in, and taught helpful Biblical context and cultural insights. A vacationing pastor in the group fortunately filled in some gaps but relayed he “came to learn and not be the ‘expert’”. Considering 1% of the population of Greece are born again believers, it is understandable biblically educated tour guides must be a rarity, however, PT might want to provide written material for tour groups to compensate for the expectation of biblical context in addition to historical. Would recommend PT but suggest you do your biblical research prior to arrival.
