Experience Day Trips in Athens with Withlocals

"We had a group of 5 adults and were able to arrange a full-day Delphi trip from Alimos on June 5, 2025. Nikos was an excellent guide and a wealth of information. From picking us up at our VRBO to stopping for coffee and pastries to get an early morning off to a good start, everyone in our group had a wonderful day. We were able to make modifications as the trip progressed that best suited our group and Nikos offered great workable options. History, mythology and humor flowed naturally throughout the trip and we remained captivated and entertained throughout. Our lunch stop was spectacular as well, for both food and view. I highly recommend Nikos and the Delphi experience. "

"Ioannis was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable about this history of Greece. He took up on the Cape Sounio tour. Ioannis was prompt, friendly, passionate about Greece. He truly went out of his was to meet any requests we had. He chose a wonderful lunch spot for us along the coast, which had the freshest seafood and a stunning view. He made sure we had a wonderful table, which was kind gesture. He found us a perfect spot along the coast free from the crowds, we went on our tour on a Greek holiday, so the beaches were unusually busy. I highly recommend Ioannis for any tour you choose."

"I took a solo tour with Thomas to the Peloponnese. I booked it on a whim for my first day in Athens. Although jet-lagged, it was a great experience to get out of the city and see some impressive history beyond Athens. Thomas went above and beyond to ensure I had a great day filled with lively conversation and some special stops. I highly recommend the tour and Thomas who is very passionate about Greek history and what he does. "

"Our tour to Cape Sounio was a wonderful blend of natural beauty and cultural insight. The drive along the Athenian Riviera was absolutely stunning, with sweeping views of the coastline and the Aegean Sea. Ioannis offered insightful and engaging commentary throughout the drive. His deep knowledge of Greek history and mythology was impressive, but what made it even more special was the personal connection he shared with the area (thank you for sharing with us!!). The temple itself perched above the sea is beautiful and the view from the cliffs is spectacular! "

"Our day was simply dreamy! Water toys and an amazing opportunity to explore an uninhibited island. It was just the two of us, Aris and a whole lot of seagulls. We will never forget this unique experience. Our cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing for so many hours. Aris is intelligent, delightful and wants nothing more than to make you happy. A true gem!!!"

"My husband and I had a private tour to Delphi a few days ago. We had a truly memorable day. It was great to be able to set our own timetable rather than be herded on and off a coach and to be with an Athenian who can give you knowledge and insights that you probably won’t get elsewhere. Thomas is a charming, knowledgable, enthusiastic and friendly person who speaks excellent English. He was very organised, communicated well beforehand and made us feel very relaxed - this was important as its a long day. We felt that Thomas went above and beyond and would definitely recommend him for any of the tours on offer. "

" It was amazing day for us .We really enjoyed his personal and professional approach. It was a wonderful day we spent together. We got to know Athens, and it was very interesting. You are a very special person."

"Even though it’s a long day trip, I highly recommend spending the time to visit Delphi. It was a trip to remember for a lifetime! Nikos was a great tour guide and very personable. Do not miss out visiting this site. "

"My husband and I spent 2 fantastic days with Nikos - the first to visit Delphi and the next to visit Sounio. We had already spent 2 weeks touring ancient sites in Turkey and the Cyclades with very knowledgeable guides so one would think we were saturated with ancient history. On the contrary, Nikos brought all the ancient history alive and made us feel like we had gone back in time. His knowledge of archaeology and history is impressive and he is a current day philosopher as well. We discussed current day Greek life intertwined with the lives of the mythical Greek gods. Very soon, we had a new friend."
