Full description
Discover the cradle of civilization, the birthplace of democracy, and the home of philosophy on a private half-day tour of Athens. You will experience some of the greatest monuments ever built, with visits to all the major attractions, from the site of the first modern Olympics to the former Royal Palace. The 5-hour tour takes in the Panathenaic Stadium, the only marble stadium in the world. Built over the ruins of the ancient Roman stadium of Athens, it was where the first modern Olympic Games took place in 1896. Continue to the famous Arch of Emperor Hadrian, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, dedicated to the King of the Olympian gods, and the largest temple of the ancient world. Go to the Acropolis, considered a work of architectural perfection. Admire the Theater of Dionysus, the first theater ever built in the world. You will also see the Odeon of Herod the Atticus, go to the Hill of Pnyx, visit the Propylaea, the Temple of Apteros Nike, the Erechteion, and the New Acropolis Museum. Take in some wonderful panoramic city views from Lycabettus Hill, and visit the Parliament buildings to see the changing of the Royal Guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Continue to Omonia Square and the open-air flea market in the lively Plaka neighborhood. Finally, see the 19th-Century Anglican church of St. Paul, the former Royal Palace, the Numismatic Museum, Academy of Arts and Sciences, National Library, the Benaki Museum, Byzantine and Christian Museum, and Museum of Cycladic Art.

AMAZING!!!!! Odysseus was sooooo AWESOME! He went above and beyond to inform and educate us on the history of each place. He brought little pictures and books to show us. He told us where good places to shop and showed us an awesome souvenir cup to get that demonstrated how we should balance our life and not be greedy! REALLY WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY! He was better then most of the tour guides we had during our cruise! it was awesome! Thank you Odysseus for an AMAZING DAY! We were only in Athens for 1 day but he made sure we didn't miss anything! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

Nicos was an amazing guide. To have a private driver with a well planned day take us around Athens was a treat. He was so friendly and knowledgable, timed each stop to avoid as many waits as possible. We had only one full day in Athens and it was a pleasure to have Nicos, who we now consider a friend guide us through his town with care.

It was a great way to see the city without having to navigate ourselves. Our driver was knowledgeable. Make note that the tour only brings you to the sites and waits for you. The guide doesn’t go in the Acropolis and other sites. He was very helpful when we needed to figure out get tickets online. The ‘audio tour’ was a waste. Download didn’t work so we just went without it which was a bummer.
