Experience Art & Culture tours in the best of
Athens with Withlocals

"Alex was a joy to travel with. He was punctual, kind, and had a great energy. He brought visual aids which enhanced the overall experience and helped with learning about the culture and history of Athens. He was especially helpful as our family photographer; and a great one at that. His food tour was exquisite; cheeses and olives and gyros all from small local shops gave us a truly authentic Greek experience. Alex is a must-have tour guide. "

"Arianna provided a great history review of the acropolis, its buildings, and the surrounding area. She answered all questions in a friendly manner, and even quizzed us! She is friendly and has a great se se of humour. Highly recommend booking with Arianna."

"Nikola is fantastic! Knows the history of the area very well, including the history of the traditional food. He is engaging and friendly, and answers all questions very well. "

"Costas was incredibly knowledgeable about the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, history of the site, and Greek Mythology. Costas walked us through the highlights of the museum providing great history and context for all the buildings, reliefs, and statues. The museum is beautiful and has a lot of information. Using a guide was so worthwhile and I would highly recommend it to everyone. Then walked us to the site to finish the tour. We loved this tour and Costas worth every penny!"

"Our tour with Costas was fantastic from start to finish. We met at 8:00 a.m. just a short walk from the main entrance to the Acropolis. Rather than joining the crowds there, he led us around to the western entrance, sharing history and context along the way. As we made our way up, he brought the site to life with stories about the Temple of Athena Nike and the other monuments we encountered before reaching the top. Costas was an absolute wealth of information and history, and he was wonderfully patient with our pace going up the slope. We never felt rushed and had plenty of opportunities to stop, ask questions, and take everything in. What really stood out, though, was how accommodating and flexible he was. After the heat and climb, we desperately needed some cold water and a short break. Costas immediately adjusted the plan, taking us to the Acropolis Museum café and rearranging the museum portion of the tour so we could start at the top and work our way down after we'd had a chance to cool off and recharge. It was a great combination of deep knowledge, storytelling, patience, and genuinely thoughtful guiding. We came away with a much better understanding of the Acropolis and its history, and thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Costas. Highly recommended! "

"My two teenage sons and I did a tour of the Acropolis and the museum with Costas and had a great experience! Costas was so knowledgeable and we learned so much and got so much more out of visiting these historic sites. Costas was also so helpful in the planning stages and helping me figure out what tickets and what time to get everything. I would definitely recommend this tour! "

"We had a great tour with Markella. She was very knowledgeable and shared so much information, I would highly recommend her. She really knows her way around both the Acropolis and the museum. It was a pleasure being with her and the time flew. !!"

"What a fantastic day we had with Nikos, who was so thoughtful from start to finish. He thoroughly explained the history of the Acropolis while always making sure we were comfortable and standing in the shade whenever possible. He is incredibly knowledgeable and so patient, taking the time to answer every question we had. You can really feel his passion and love for Greek history, which made the experience so much more engaging. It was also such a privilege to have him guide us through the Acropolis Museum, bringing everything we had seen earlier to life and adding so much context. We’re incredibly grateful for such a memorable day. Thank you, Nikos!"

"We feel incredibly privileged to have found Costas. He was generous with his time and guidance. Our family was enthralled with his tour of both Parthenon and Agora. I cannot recommend Costas highly enough - he is perfect."

"Markella took a group of 5 of us on a 3 hour tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon and the Acropolis museum. Markella is very knowledgeable of all periods of Greek history and has lots of stories to tell about the Parthenon and surrounding buildings and how the history links with the buildings and the archeological finds. She covered the Greek gods, the battle of Marathon, Persian wars, the Spartans and ancient Athenians, Roman emperor Hadrian and much more. Really interesting. If you are looking for a private tour, you could not do better. Thank you"
