Experience Skip the Line Tours in Athens with Withlocals

"We learned so much about the Acropolis with Adrianna and she was able to answer all questions. So much passion and knowledge. Friendly, polite and good with kids. Good English. Enjoyed the tour and highly recommend Adrianna - so much history to discover and easier when private "

"Arranging the experience and meeting with Costas was really easy. Costas is friendly, approachable and very knowledgable…also has several languages under his belt! The tour of the museum was fascinating and we all learned a great deal. The walk up through the grounds, the information shared, the explanations offered from stories of the gods to how structures were created as we moved up to the Parthenon. Truly amazing, thank you! "

"We genuinely enjoyed Evanthia and her tour around Athens. She made a great effort to ensure we were all engaged, from a buff like me to a jaded 16yo girl. We covered a lot of territory, from the classical sites to off the beaten path. We had originally wanted to get up to the Acropolis, but bad timing on my part prevented our ability to get tickets. Evanthia made the most of the time we had, and I don’t feel cheated out of any part of our Athens experience. Highly recommended."

"We wanted a private tour for four people the day after our daughter’s wedding on what ended up being the hottest day in Athens so far this year. HOT 🥵 Alexandros took care of everything and took great care of us. We went into the air conditioned museum and learned about fascinating parts of Greek history and the museum would have meant so much less without Alexandros. Then onto the climb to the Acropolis. We stopped in shady spots along the way for him to explain what we were seeing. There is so much more there than we realized. Alexandros made it all very interesting and he has a great personality. You will be so happy if you take any tour with him. "

"Markella was an excellent guide for our tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. She not only shared key historical anecdotes and key facts; she also did a great job with the wide range of questions from adults and 5 kids/tweens/teens alike. Markella went out of her way to make things fun and engaging for the range of ages (9-15 years old for the kids), including having activities that would help make the history come alive for them. She allowed the 9 year old to act as her aide to share his knowledge of Greek mythology, which he particularly enjoyed. Markella also checked in with the adults to ask if we thought a snack stop was needed for the kids during the transition from the Acropolis to the museum. When the kids’ energy was flagging, she pulled a couple of rabbits from her hat with key features from the museum that they particularly enjoyed. All of the adults (there were 4 of us) really enjoyed Markella’s breadth of knowledge and appreciated gaining her perspectives on the excellent design of the museum, all of which enhanced our experience. "

"Arianna is an upbeat and very knowledgeable guide. She has so much knowledge and she shares it enthusiastically! We learned so much from her about Greek history. She made the experience interesting and we genuinely enjoyed our time with her. She went out of her way and spent extra time to explain everything we saw. We would definitely booklet her again!"

"Alex gave us a fantastic tour of the Acropolis museum & site. We were with our 3 teenage children & we really enjoyed it. We started in the museum which I would recommend as it’s laid out to mirror the actual site & he spent lots of time with us there explaining the different buildings and interesting artefacts & telling us some v entertaining myths associated. He is obviously extremely knowledgeable but with a very light & entertaining style which made the tour v relaxed. He then brought us through the site itself and nicely reminded us & brought together whet we had learnt & seen in the museum which really brought the ruins to life. He was extremely patients and gave us lots of time & we even had time to stop for coffees and ice creams and a lovely chat about Athenian life between the museum & the site. Thanks again Alex 😀"

"Costa was great and very informed about the area and its surroundings. It was nice to purchase the tickets in advance, skip a bunch of the lines, and see more of Athens. It was a great tour with a lot of great information. "

"Costas was very easy to communicate with before the tour; he met us promptly at our prearranged meeting point. The tour of the Acropolis included an initial 2hrs in the Acropolis Museum, during which Costas took us through the history of the site and proved to be incredibly well informed on every aspect; he then took us up on to the slopes of the Acropolis for an hour to show us the real thing. Both parts of the tour knitted together perfectly and we left with a feeling that we had been fully immersed in Greek and Athenian history. Thank you Costas "

"We had a very nice experience with Markella. She knew a lot of history and gave us great highlights of the Acropolis and museum. "
