Overview

This is not just another city tour; this is the best of Athens from a unique perspective! Get to know Athens on a city tour that gives you the perfect overview, with city highlights, hidden gems, storytelling, and a local treat - this tour has it all!

Forget about big touristy groups and the crowds; it's time to see Athens at its best but from the eyes of a local. Check out main landmarks like Ancient Agora, Hadrian Library, Areopagus (Mars Hill) and uncover hidden gems and city secrets with the help of a knowledgeable local guide. And the cherry on top, a local treat is included.
