The tour Included a personalized tour of the acropolis and the museum arranged by WarmPenguin with an exceptional guide Marina, a drive through Athens with stops at multiple sites of interest, including time for lunch and shopping. We highly recommend using their professional, experienced and friendly services!

I've used Viator several times now and have never been disappointed. Our driver and guide (Betty) for the Athens tour were both terrific. Both were so knowledgeable and friendly. Doing a private tour is the way to go. It is much more relaxing and enjoyable than traveling around with a group. We visited many sites in the comfort of the Mercedes vehicle, and surely a highlight of the day was a terrific seaside lunch in a restaurant at Sounion. It was as if the restaurant opened just for us! There was noone else there except for the guide and driver. The very leisurely lunch of local specialties was more than we had hoped for, and then after that we managed to get back into Athens in time to see the changing of the guards. It was a most enjoyable (though VERY cold) day. I cannont recommend this tour enough. Thanks for making our Greece experience so meaningful. I would gladly use Viator and Warmpenguin again.
