About this experience
A unique, full-day Athens guided tour and introduction to the most important city sights, including the Acropolis, the Herodeion, the Acropolis Museum, Plaka and more. It's a tour where the visitor gets to have a first "taste" of the city, from a small scale next to important monuments, to a large scale by seeing panoramic views of Athens from the two most famous hills, the Acropolis and Lycabettus. Furthermore, once we mentioned "taste", you will taste authentic greek cuisine in one of the many very good restaurants that exist in the city center. We have very experienced tour guides with whom you will have an unforgetable time!

Acropolis
The acropolis of Athens is the most visited archaeological site in Greece. Marvelous constructions exist around and on the sacred hill of Athens. The Parthenon, the Erectheion, a roman auditorium, ancient greek theater and much more. But these monuments are "empty" without the guidance of an expert who will unfold all the stories that "dress" these marbled miracles.

Greece At Last!
Alex, our guide, and Victor, our driver, were each fantastic. Alex was incredibly knowledgeable, and Victor was very skilled. We toured the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum, among other sites, and had a great lunch. It was an overall A+ experience. We recommend it highly.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much! It was our pleasure! If you or a friend of yours wants to come to Greece, don't hesitate to contact me!

Athens Full-day tour
We had an amazing day discovering Athens with Alexios. From booking the tour to the time he dropped us off, his communication with us, knowledge and professionalism were terrific. He is passionate about the city and his knowledge in so many areas, history, geography, mythology, language and Greek culture, left us feeling that we had really experienced Athens. Having him with us in the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum was invaluable. And the place we went to lunch was incredible also. Many thanks to Alex. We highly recommend this tour and guide. You won’t be disappointed.
Response from the operator: Thank you very very much for selecting our services!

Alexios Rocks Athens!
Just had the best day exploring Athens with Alexios! We saw everything - the Acropolis Museum (skip-the-line FTW!), wandered the cute Plaka neighborhood, devoured amazing Greek food, and learned tons about the city. Alexios is super knowledgeable, funny, and made sure we had a blast. Definitely recommend this tour, especially if you can snag Alexios as your guide!
Response from the operator: Thanks Chris! It was my pleasure guiding you in my city! Hope to see you again! My regards!

Wonderful day in Athens.
The best guide you can have in Athens by far!! Alexios with his deep historical knowledge made our tour around the highlights of Athens special! Everything was convenient and easy, from the pick up to our drop off. I highly suggest you to take this tour if you visit Athens.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much! I just love what I'm doing! My regards!

Perfect Athens day w Alexios P & Lazaros
If you have the opportunity to see Athens - see it with Alexios P & his driver Lazaros! Alexios will make the Acropolis site come alive for you- you can almost see the ancient Greeks & hear the gods. The Acropolis museum had meaning because of him - otherwise you could easily become completely overwhelmed. Alexios’s command of history, archeology, mythology & of course, the English language, makes him an indispensable partner as you walk the remarkable ancient lands. His site: Greece at Last, is very informative & easy to navigate. Lazaros drove us not only comfortably & safely, but with very useful information & a sense of humor (and cold water!) & enabled us to see other landmarks throughout the city. Lazaros also made useful suggestions about the next leg of our trip - how to drive to other cities, budget our time & where to eat when we got there !! I recommend Greece at Last, Alexios P & Lazaros without reservation. You will not be disappointed!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words! We enjoyed it too! Hope to see you again! I wish the best!

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Private Tour in Athens: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Full Day Private Tour in Athens cost?
+
Prices start at $700 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 Full Day Private Tour in Athens take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Full Day Private Tour in Athens worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Full Day Private Tour in Athens?
+
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 Full Day Private Tour in Athens suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Private Tour in Athens?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Private Tour in Athens 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.
