Awesome Athens Tour
Our Athens tour with George was absolutely incredible and a highlight of our trip! We really felt like we got a feel for the city and learned SO much. Doing a private tour of the city is so much better than the group tours of the Acropolis, etc. A much more tailored experience. George was very kind, knowledgeable and flexible. He stopped and showed us many different areas and buildings throughout the city, not just the main attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day! We did two tours with this company and very happy with our experience all around.

Perfect tour guide for American families - every detail is covered and understood
Themis was the perfect guide for our day in Santorini. It was easy to find him when we got off the cable car, and from there an amazing day began. He took us to a restaurant overlooking the water to start the day with a coffee and juice for the kids. It was incredibly peaceful and informative. From there we walked all of Santorini, skipping the lines of selfie-taking tourists to find the right spots at the right times for the right shots. Temas was a great photographer along the way, and he called out all of the sites we needed to pay attention to. We covered so much ground, both on foot and by car. The highlight of the day for me was a lunch on the beach, followed by a spontaneous jump into the sea on a black sand beach with the children. It was truly amazing. We ended the day with a stop at a roadside bakery that had handmade desserts. The baklava was awesome. Themis kept the whole family engaged, including the kids (9, 11, and 15), as his English and Greek are perfect, so there are no words lost in translation between us on the tour and the locals that he knows all too well. He was born in the U.S. but spent a ton of time in Greece growing up with his family. He's the perfect mix for Americans looking for a tour guide in Santorini, Mykonos, Athens, and beyond. I really wish him and his company well as they continue to grow.
Response from the operator: Thank you soooo much for your kind review. Im glad you enjoyed my tour. Come back and tour some more of Greece with me in the future. God Bless. Themistoklis

Athens our way
Driver was on time and actually waiting for us at our hotel. He was very curious and aware of our comfort. He allowed as much time as we wanted at scheduled stops. Allowed us to change the itinerary to me our needs. Great your! I highly recommend this tour company.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure touring you around 😎 till next time 🙋

Unforgettable Athens Tour
Themis made our time in Greece absolutely unforgettable! Fluent in both English and Greek, he effortlessly bridged the local culture with our group’s interests, making every stop come alive with history, humor, and heart. In Athens, we explored ancient landmarks like the Acropolis, Agora museum, Olympic stadium and Plaka with fascinating stories that went far beyond the typical facts. Themis shared local insights, hidden gems, and even introduced us to authentic spots for gyros, iced Greek coffee and pastries away from the tourist crowds. Professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about Greek culture — our guide made the experience seamless and memorable. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a deeper, more authentic experience in Greece!

Great tour of Athens
George was an excellent guide. He picked us up from the cruise ship and really showed us Athens. His knowledge of Greek history is quite impressive. Could not have asked for a better guide.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
AthensGreece HistoricalTour by NativeEnglish speaking LocalGuides: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does AthensGreece HistoricalTour by NativeEnglish speaking LocalGuides cost?
+
Prices start at $210 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 AthensGreece HistoricalTour by NativeEnglish speaking LocalGuides take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 AthensGreece HistoricalTour by NativeEnglish speaking LocalGuides worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 AthensGreece HistoricalTour by NativeEnglish speaking LocalGuides?
+
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 AthensGreece HistoricalTour by NativeEnglish speaking LocalGuides suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book AthensGreece HistoricalTour by NativeEnglish speaking LocalGuides?
+
Around 4 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does AthensGreece HistoricalTour by NativeEnglish speaking LocalGuides 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.
