“Our guide, Evan, was well prepared with anti-itch stuff for a bee sting, cough drops for a lady with a persistent cough. He was a fount of information. He was polite and pleasant, and clear in his instructions. Lunch was good. It was fun to try wild boar! However, we were supposed to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. We did get picked up at our hotel. However, on the way back, he said it was too difficult to drop us off at this time of day. So they would drop us off somewhere that was a short walk. When he dropped us off, he said it…”

3.The History of Athens: Greek Mythology Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 138 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $199Top rated

Walk from central Athens to Plaka with a private English-speaking guide, linking Greek myths to modern neighborhoods, the Academy, Monastiraki, Varvakios Market, and Anafiotika. Routes vary by host, so ask for a mythology-heavy focus if that is your main reason for booking.

“Makram was a very gracious, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide. He clearly knew his stuff, and he introduced us to many interesting neighborhoods we didn’t know about. However, his passion for history and need to share it with us sometimes made him unaware that we were standing in the direct sunlight on an indiscriminate street corner for twenty minutes at a time. Don’t hesitate to interupt him and suggest that you move to the shade or a more interesting location. We were a little drained from information overload and the sun.”

“Hoy tuve el tour de la acropolis + barrio de plaka, con la guía Efi. Excelente experiencia y guía muy amable, entusiasta y con mucha experencia. Se nota que está muy preparada. Lo que más me gustó de la visita es que Efi permite descansar, tomar fotos y disfrutar realmente de la acropolis. Muy buena empresa top tour greece, confiable, muy buena comunicación en todo momento. Lo único que lamento es que por la época del año no tengan disponibilidad para el tour guiado del museo, porque sin duda lo habría contratado con ellos! Recomiendo completamente este tour Saludos”
