“Very kind, funny, and knowledgeable tour guide. Tour was great and had plenty of shady spots to hear about the history”
Private Athens highlights plus Cape Sounion day trip with hotel pickup, skip-the-line Acropolis access options, and Temple of Poseidon views.
“Petros was the absolute best guide. My husband is an architect and Athens has been his dream trip. We celebrated our 25th anniversary and Petros was able to somehow squeeze everything into one day without us feeling rushed. He recommended the best lunch for us and it ended up being our favorite meal of the entire trip. We can’t wait to come back again someday and we will definitely be back asking for Petros to guide us around.”
Skip the line at Knossos and enjoy a private 1.5-hour guided walk with a licensed archaeologist for up to 2 people.
“We really enjoyed learning about the Minoan civilization and the Knossos palace. Great tour!”
Open-air Ancient Greek theatre performance in Athens near the Acropolis, in English, with myth scenes, comedy, and a great night view.
“This is a must-see performance. The theater was right under the Parthenon…easy to find and in a lively neighborhood with plenty of dining options. My family and I really enjoyed it. You don’t need to be a Greek mythology buff to get the plots…it’s laid out as the performance rolls on…the actors were energetic, super talented….and the drama was super fun, educational, motivational and really entertaining.”
Skip-the-line Knossos tour with a licensed guide and headsets, giving you 90 minutes to understand Minos, myths, and Minoan life.
“Our tour guide (Katarina) was perfectlly entertaining, and highly knowledgeable as an archeologist herself actively working on the site. She provided a balanced interpretation of the culture prior to the Mycenean arrival based on the data and objects founds; moreso than even the museum in our opinion. We highly recommend Katarina as a guide! Viator staff met us at the door, the meeting time and place went smoothly, and the earpieces we wore during the tour were very professional and helpful. We heard everything that Katarina said.”
Private half-day Athens tour with skip-the-line Acropolis access plus Parthenon, Plaka, Olympian Zeus, and Guards, in air-conditioned comfort.
“The tour was very well organized. George the main tour guide and Alexander were on time. George, a history major made the experience memorable by his knowledge and intellectual curiosity.”
A family-friendly 1-hour Atlantis myth and science show in Santorini, with a 9D cataclysm, interactive dioramas, and holographic geology.
“Simple activity which would be best for young children. Our family included two adults and two teenagers, the museum lasted us about an hour. We saw many young kids who were having a blast! Historical information was the highlight.”
Private skip-the-line access to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, with a guide, admissions included, in about 4 hours in Athens.
“Anda was amazing, she was very articulate in English and easy to understand. She went at our pace up the hill and explained with pictures along the way. She gave us choices on paths and offered frequently to take pictures for us. When we went to the museum she knew where the bathrooms were with no line and because she is a private group we got in quickly. We adored her and will be referring her to our friends coming next month.”
Skip-the-line private Acropolis tour with a licensed guide. See the Parthenon, Dionysus Theater, and more, with flexible timing options.
“We had a very good experience with our 2-hour private guided tour of the Acropolis. Our guide was knowledgeable, well-informed, and shared a wealth of history and context that really enhanced our understanding of this iconic site. Communication before and during the tour was clear and professional, and everything ran smoothly.”
Private Acropolis guided tour with admission included, mobile tickets, and time-saving ticket entry help, plus expert storytelling at 7 monuments.
“This was a great tour. Our guide, Anda was fantastic, very knowledgeable and made our visit very memorable. Plus, she took lots of great pictures of us so we’ll never forget this incredible experience . This acropolis is unbelievable and a must see site if in Athens”
A private, licensed Knossos tour that skips the ticket line, guides you through the Palace labyrinth, and connects Minos myths to real archaeology.
“Our guide (we can’t pronounce her name!) was wonderful - great story teller and related our tour (2 adults + 2 teens) to the things we had seen previously at the archaeological museum. Highly recommend 9am - not too hot and not too crowded - and 90 minute length was just right.”
Private, skip-the-line Acropolis tour with an archaeologist guide, stories of philosophers, and key monuments like the Parthenon and Athena Nike.
“Our guide was personable, kind, knowledgeable, and committed to making sure we had the best possible experience.”
