Θ These are our mainstay private Athens tours and activities. For archaeological devotees, Full Day (c. 8 hours) or Half Day (c. 5 hours) Athens Archaeology Tours are a good fit. Every archaeologically significant site in Athens can be visited with a private tour guide or hybrid guided (private guide then self-guided with venue tickets). As in Rome, we offer what we coined many years ago, namely "2 in 1 tours". That equates to either an Acropolis tour and Acropolis Museum ticket, or Acropolis Museum tour and Acropolis ticket. These tours are two hours guided with plenty of time allocated for self-guided exploration. Acropolis tickets include entrance to the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Temple of Athena Nike, Propylaea, and other areas within the site. They are all visited on the Acropolis tour portion too. Best of Athens Highlights and Nightlights are similar to our tours of the same name in Lviv - simply the best of the city, while Athenian Eats, inspired by our original Rome food tour "Taste of Testaccio: Ten Tastings", is even tastier! Hills of the Gods: Above Athens scales the impressive heights of our city. Inspired by our "Rome with a View" at In Rome Tours, it's a wonderful way to experience euphoria.

  Η Once new tours have been road tested, they are published here. Get set for twists and turns that steer clear of bucket list hotspots and veer off the beaten path. Athens is so incredibly diverse that to focus on archaeology alone would be leaving travellers high and dry about what the modern city has to offer. As we harbour an interest in Athens football culture, and, to a point, the politics of the fans, we have curated an activity that explores that side of the city. Some areas have a reputation for being vehemently anti-authoritarian, so if you want to walk the walk in eclectic and unpredictable surroundings, you'll need us to guide you through a district we know and love the least: Exarcheia. Exarcheian street art, however, is must-see and we don't stop there, as amazing works of art adorn Psyri, Gazi, Zografou and Metaxourgeio too. Athens is truly out there with a mesmerizing mix of ancient and modern that characterizes its colourful neighbourhoods. On our Secret Santorini tour you'll see what that looks like. Remember Athens Olympics 2004? Today it's an €11 billion Abandoned Places tour story about scandal and neglect, ending on an unexpectedly bright note.

  Ν We offer self-guided day trips to the three most scenic Saronic islands near Athens, namely Poros, Hydra, and Spetses. If you would like to experience more than one island ("island hopping"), we can arrange it. In the fullness of time we'll add day trips to Ermioni and Porto Cheli, picturesque coastal towns renowned for snorkelling and seafood. A day trip from Athens to Nafplio Port will also be added, idem to Cape Sounion (the Temple of Poseidon, 440 BC) and Vouliagmeni lake (mineral spa, thermal springs). Multi-day excursions from Athens to the winemaking region and mythological seat of Nemea, where Heracles carried out his first labour by killing the Lion of Nemea, are work in progress. If you have your own itinerary but need help with reliable accommodation, transport, tickets and guides, let us know and we'll join the dots to make your trip complete. We always recommend visiting an island and a UNESCO World Heritage site. There's so much beauty to experience nearby, indeed, many tourists never even see Athens, they just use the most important city in history as a transit point! As the most complete destination in Europe, Athens can be your gateway to paradise with proper planning.
