Overview
Next comes a drive in the modern city to see the Temple of the king of God's, the 1896 Olympic Stadium and of course the changing of the guard and the Parliament House.
After that we will head to the Ancient Agora to get closer to the best preserved temple in Greece, the temple for Hyphaistus! You will be hungry by then so we will have a stop to enjoy an authentic Greek lunch in one of the neighborhoods close to the city centre.
Once ready our last stop will be the New Acropolis Museum, the best Museum in Greece that holds the marble statues and sculptures once standing on the Parthenon.

Traveller reviews
Eleni Maina is THE BEST. She is so well versed in the history of Greece and made this experience unforgettable! She a BADDIE that will handle any problems that come your way. TRUST you NEED to book with her!
Eleni was an outstanding tour guide. Very knowledgeable. This was a large group and she made sure we all heard her and that we all stayed together The restaurant she took us for lunch was great. I would highly recommend Eleni
Excellent tour! Lazarus was an awesome driver. Constantine gave us well rounded historical as well as current information about the city.. they took us places we might have missed if taken other tours. Great experience!
We had a fantastic day with Eleni in Athens. Visiting the Acropolis and Parthenon with a private guide is absolutely the way to go. She had so much knowledge and information to share with us and it made our visit an exciting learning experience. We had a delicious lunch in Athens-off the beaten path and were able to enjoy a lovely experience. I would recommend-book this tour (with Eleni specifically) again without any hesitation. She did a fantastic job
Our guide was very knowledgable. We have a 16 and 14 yrs old kids, so she asked us if the information shared was good or if we wanted less or more, We saw all the important areas and she had photos to show us what the places look back in the days, We also went to a local restaurant she suggested. Nice, friendly and affordable place.
I cannot imagine visiting Athens any other way! The bus was very comfortable! We saw so much in a short time. Eleni is a wonderful guide and planned the perfect day for our group of 10. She even recommended and fabulous lunch spot with an incredible view! Thank you Eleni!!
Great guide. Knowledgeable. Efficient. Friendly. Perfect pace for half day walking tour. Ended in local neighborhood close to subway stations with recommendation for excellent and authentic Greek lunch.
Thank you Vasiliki for the amazing tour you gave us! You, as well as Markos the guide, gave us a wonderful experience. The tour was very interesting. Greece have a beautiful history and you help us learned already a lot. Can't wait for our next tour with you of course.
