A great company to organise your holiday
An excellent day for our family of 4 adults and 4 children ranging in age from 1 to 10. We were able to modify our tour to suit the needs of the family and spend the time we wanted for each of the major sights. Highly recommended and the second time we have used the tour company. We also used them for transport from the airport and to the port. Very responsive to our emails from Australia. Our tickets to the Acropolis were also organised through them so less to organise ourselves.
Response from the operator: Dear Catherine, Thank you for your kind words about our services. Your feedback is truly invaluable to us, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Our goal is to continually improve and provide the best possible experience for our guests, and we’re delighted to know that your time with us was a positive one. We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future and creating more memorable moments together. Warm regards, Frank Kotsiopoulos Managing Director H.P. Tours

we went to the Acropolis, the Parthenon, toured Athens, went to the Agora, Agora Museum, Temple of Poseidon, ate
We took this tour and also another full day tour, both couples, friends, and children, and they were AMAZING!! Kristos was absolutely awesome and was so immensely accommodating, the tour guide was the sweetest and so informative. He took us to the most amazing restaurants to eat, if we needed something quickly, it was done. I cant give enough accolades for the incredible time he ensured we had. He even made sure all of us ladies had help off the bus, which was also immaculate with plenty of room and he even had car seats ready for the kids & plenty of water. We are only going to use him when we come to Greece, which will be often, and all all of our friends, too. If you dont use this company for all of your tours, youre insane, theres no way theres a better one out there, impossible. Book them IMMEDIATELY for your trip and you will not be disappointed. Do. It.

A wonderful one-day tour of Athens
June 25, 2025- an 8 hrs. tour of Athens with our driver Panos. He was driving an air conditioned Mercedes Benz Sprinter and provided cold bottled water for us whenever we need water. We were told by Frank of Hellenic Private tour to start the tour since Athens will reach close to a 100 degrees Fahrenheit by mid afternoon. We started at 9am. In the morning Panos took us first to all outside sightseeing stops like, Acropolis, Parthenon, Temple of Zeus, the Proplea, the Erechtheum, the theater of Dionysus and other sites. In every stop before we got out of the van Panos gave us a brief history of the place we were visiting with the use of photos from his IPad. Then by 1pm Panos took us to a Greek restaurant. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed the food. From the restaurant we went to the Modern Acropolis museum. Before returning to our villa Panos continued the city tour of the Panathiniac Olympic Stadium, tomb of unknown soldiers, drive by the academy, national library and drive up Lycabettus hill to enjoy view of Athens. Our whole family was very pleased with the services of Hellenic Private Tours, our driver Panos and all the suggestions of Frank. We happily recommend them to anyone visiting Athens.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Athens Highlights & Temple of Poseidon -Cape Sounio Full Day Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Highlights & Temple of Poseidon -Cape Sounio Full Day Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $552 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Athens Highlights & Temple of Poseidon -Cape Sounio Full Day Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Athens Highlights & Temple of Poseidon -Cape Sounio Full Day Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens Highlights & Temple of Poseidon -Cape Sounio Full Day Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Athens Highlights & Temple of Poseidon -Cape Sounio Full Day Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens Highlights & Temple of Poseidon -Cape Sounio Full Day Private Tour?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens Highlights & Temple of Poseidon -Cape Sounio Full Day Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
