Athens By Night Private Tour

Our driver Andreas, who we nicknamed Siri, was very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. He also made a couple of stops along our route for us to get a snack and pizza to take back to our rooftop terrace. The view of the city from the mountaintop was worth it! We had such a fun night with Andreas that I would totally recommend this tour. He will customize it to things if you would like that done, too. We were able to catch the Changing of the Guard just in time.

Andrew was a fabulous tour guide! He took me to all the expected sites as well as some amazing sites I never expected to see! We stopped at the football stadium to take photos, I was able to pray at an amazing church at a viewpoint and topped it off with my first Baklava from the Bread Co. I am so pleased and will forever remember my tour with Andrew!

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable. He was patient and kind. He was perfect for our 1st excursion in Greece. He recommended a restaurant for Greek food. It was delicious.

Two different views were promised but the best one was closed due to covid.That should be mentioned in the advertisement.

We signed up for this tour the first evening we arrived. We also booked the whole day tour for the following day, As this was our first visit to Athens, we were a little concerned about graffiti and safety of the neighborhood where we were staying. Our tour guide Nasser (Naser) arrived promptly with an infectious energy and explained the culture of Greece and assured us the neighborhood was great (which it was). He later took us to the Acropolis. He did not accompany us but was very informative during the drive. Being a private tour, we decided to cut the suggested tour short and visit the Sea where we had a wonderful dinner (with recommendations from Nasser).

This tour was great. The driver and the guide worked closely together to take us to see all that we wished to see and offered many suggestions. The guide was with us all the time to answer questions and pint out better vantage points. They timed the points on the tour so we could see events like the full changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown from a front row vantage. The driver and guide were very personable. They selected a small family owned restaurant for dinner that was truly a fun experience. We felt like we were touring with friends rather than a paid driver and guide.

Our tour guide was amazing - took us too all the great spots for amazing photos - loved how much he knew about the history and details of the areas - he was pleasant and we totally enjoyed our evening. We saw so much that we would have never seen on our own! Highly recommend this tour!!!

As a teacher for ancient world history and classical studies, trust me when I say you’ll be amazed by this tour. I want to also say we paid for a tour guide AND changed up our entire itinerary in order to see things we really wanted to experience. Secondly, yes, you are picked up in a van and it’s just you and your family and the driver (or opt tour guide). They drive you to areas but for the Parthenon, you pay 28€ for the tickets separate (no lines in the evening) and you DO walk on up. Same for the Agora should you request that. But yes - you DO get to go to places and walk to them but because ours was so custom, I can’t speak for others on their original itinerary. Third, our driver was AWESOME and even added some things in at the end for us. Our tour guide, Vasilika, was ALSO amazing! Her knowledge, passion, hospitality, and charisma was so helpful for our visit by giving my husband and I as much time as we needed at certain places like the Parthenon or Areopagus. She learned things we liked and added some nice touches in our tour she believed we’d like - and we did! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, and I would personally dish out the money for a tour guide. They’re there to make your experience unforgettable, and that’s what she did! THANK YOU

We arrived with a very short stay and took this tour. It was perfect! The tour guide arrived on time at our hotel and gave us a panoramic tour with great historical and current information of the sites. We were able to get out and tour in the cooler temperatures of the evening and watch the city light up as the sun went down. We had dinner at the suggested roof top restaurant and the food and wine were comforting and the view was gorgeous. We were brought back to our hotel after dinner and a perfect evening. We strongly suggest this tour, especially if you want the best of both worlds- guidance, convenience and independence.

This tour was great! We got to see everything we wanted and our driver was incredible knowledgeable! The only thing is that if you really want to see “Athens by night” don’t take this tour in the summer...it gets dark too late.
