Athens Full Day Private Tour

We had a wonderful experience with Olive Sea Travel, visiting the famed Acropolis. The key difference from all the other tours (we have done 5 during this trip to Europe) is the tour guide, Eva. She is the best I have ever experienced and I have been to more than 30 countries. Not only is she very knowledgeable, she is also passionate about Greek culture and history. I learn a lot from her. All the broken columns and crumbling walls in the Pantheon now have a story behind them. She makes our visit to Acropolis so much nicer.

Very thorough tour - visited everything in one day in a nice air-conditioned vehicle - our driver Tes was the absolute best part of the trip - he gave us tidbits of information at each stop, answered all of questions - and was so engaging and joyful during the entire trip! It would not have been the same without him! He was truly a member of our family! Until we meet again, Falcon (aka Tes)! ❤️

We had an amazing time with our driver Petros and our tour guide Vaso!!! They picked us up at our hotel and we were off on our tour of Athens. It was so nice to be dropped off at the entrance to everything and picked up when we were done. No worries about transportation from site to site. Vaso was a perfect tour guide. Informing us in a way that was interesting and fun. They made extra stops for us to do a little souvenir shopping. Perfect day!!

Alex is a bonus to any company. He is personable, knowledgeable’ informative and a true pleasure to spend time with. Fantastic experience

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We were picked up at the hotel at the appointed time, and asked if we had any particular things we'd like to see. The day went by very quickly, and before we knew it we were back to the hotel. We enjoyed the guide, his driving was as good as mine, read that as safe. Clearly, he knew his was around the city and avoided heavy traffic by using shortcuts and side streets. We stopped for lunch (not included) at a nice neighborhood restaurant. Would recommend this tour.

My family and I (4 adults, 3 kids) booked this tour and we absolutely loved it!!!!! We highly recommend paying extra for the tour guide as we learned so much more. The sprinter we traveled in was very clean, comfortable and enough space for our family. They even provided a car seat for my son (18 months). I loved that we could customize our tour and be able to spend more or less time at each stop because there was just so much to see and we never felt rushed. Our driver was so nice and accommodating. Our tour guide Martina was AMAZING!!! She knew a wealth of information and answered all of our questions and was so conversational. This was truly the highlight of our trip to Greece. If you love to know and experience the history of a new country you are visiting this is a tour that will get the job done. I highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed.

Loved the intimacy of the small group tour. The tour hosts and driver were amazing and knowledgeable. My only advice would be to make booking a little less ambiguous as the full-day/half-day scheduling then dividing it into hours can lead to confusion.

Absolutely amazing 1 day private tour of Athens. Totally surpassed my expectations. Dem - our driver/guide was so knowledgeable and really gave us a great insight and background to all we saw. We covered everywhere we wanted to see the in the comfort of a huge Mercedes 7 seater and all at our own pace - no hanging around for other people. Great choice of lunch stop as well - a lovely authentic taverna with exceptional and well priced food. It’s not the cheapest way to see Athens but I would definitely recommend this. Money very well spent and I would do it again.

Our guide Andrew was the best! He was so much fun! Funny, knowledgeable, respectful. It felt like we were riding with a friend versus a stranger. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend.

Alex, our guide for the day, was enthusiastic and always on time. He has a thorough knowledge of Greek history and is clearly a passionate ambassador for his country. We had a great time thanks to him and will highly recommended this to our friends and family :)
