Thank you, Lambros!
I had to leave Greece for an emergency before I had the chance to see anything but Lambros made sure I saw the highlights of Athens on our way to the airport! I was even able to go up to the Acropolis. Thank you, Lambros!! It was so amazing to experience such kindness in my time of need.

Mr. Lambros was punctual and very courteous for our early morning transfer between Athens and the airport. He had water and helped with the luggage as needed. I would highly recommend him for your travel or tour needs while visiting Athens.

Excellent tour! Highly recommend Lambros
Lambros was professional and courteous – read a lot of history and even though we agreed on a fixed fee he still went out of his way to show us things that would not typically be seen. we took that as a sign of both his sense of customer service and greek pride!

Amazing temples, sites, history lessons, wine, and friendship!
I absolutely loved my time with Lambros! He is so friendly, personable, and moreover knowledgeable about the centuries of history Greece offers our world. We had a wonderful time over 3 days including a visit to a winery. I would love to return to Athens and spend more time with Lambros learning more about the cradle of Western Civilization!

Best way to see the city! With the most amazing guide!
Lambros was an amazing guide right from the start. He picked my mom and I up from the cruise port, helping with our many suitcases. He navigated the busy streets with ease oftentimes moving to the side streets to get us through quickly. His knowledge of the city is incredible. Our first stop was the acropolis and wow! Do not miss it! We hit up many other stops and then he dropped us off for a delicious lunch with stops for the best baklava & freddo cappuccinos in Athens.
After a couple of other stops Lambros kindly dropped us off at our hotel.
It was a wonderful day, with amazing company, knowledgeable and comfortable ride in Lambros’ van.
Highly recommend!

Most memorable of my vacation
After departing our cruise we searched out side the port for a car to take to our hotel in Athens .. Because of flight and time restrictions I decided to stay the two extra days. I was told by two drivers they would not be able to drive me directly to my hotel due to the location. I would have decided on a new location if my third try at a car had said the same (Too much luggage to have to navigate with). Lambros explained the location and promised me there would be no problem. Not only did we arrive at the steps of my hotel he had delivered an unforgettable day .. One of my most memorable out of out 12 day vacation. The morning of my departure we scheduled a car for a 6 am pick up. The boutique hotel does not have staff at this time so I did have concerns about our morning of departure. My husband received an early morning text from Lampros asking if we would like coffee .. we went out side with our luggage and Lambros was walking towards us with coffees in hand..
What an amazing good man who we immediately became friends with.
When I return to Greece with my extended family I will reach out to Lambros well in advance to be our guide.
Thank you for hospitality and an unforgettable ending to a beautiful vacation..

Incredible day!
This tour was a perfect end to our amazing stay in Athens. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Athens, to book this trip. We saw all the amazing sites, from the Acropolis to the beautiful beaches. Our guide Lambros was so accommodating, knowledgeable and quickly became a good friend we’ll never forget.

Athens Private Driver
Lambros was the best driver we had in Greece! Only after a short 24 hours with him, we felt like part of his family! He was professional but fun and comforting at the same time. We will defiantly be going back and booking Lambros the whole time!

Private tour of Athens with Lambros!
We met Lambros at our disembarking from our cruise and he was ever the gentleman! He suggested a day tour to us that fit our plans and he was amazing! Handsome, professional, knowledgeable and took us to all the sights; Acropolis, shopping, lunch on the coast, all the important buildings and even changing of the guards! He made the day incredible and we weee lucky to meet him!!!

The best day tour in Athens
We had such wonderful day touring around Athens, thanks to Lambros. He was very accommodating the moment I booked the trip. He suggested to booked the entrance tickets on time that are less crowded and even helped me where to book online. On the day, we were picked up on our accommodation on time. The van is very clean and spacious. On the way, he shared fun and informative description about our destinations. It was a hot season when we did the tour and he had water bottles prepared for us. We have maximized our day and had been to all destination and still got back at the accommodation not later in the evening. Overall, it was nothing but fun and beautiful. Would highly recommend!

a MUST USE (please read, I don’t write these often:)
WOW WOW WOW…you know when you fly to another country & you have NO clue how to speak the language..there is a little bit of concern etc..
Athena Private Tours TOOK CARE of that and US!!! we hired them to pick us up at Athens airport as we arrived in town for a cruise..To say that Mr. Lambros and his team took care of us is an understatement..Athena Private Tours is a MUST USE IN ATHENS!!!
From airport transfers, to cruise transfers to sight seeing Athens..Athena Private Tours WOW!!
The detail in making our short time there not only “informative” BUT ENJOYABLE…then the knowledge off the Athena Private Tours team was INSANE, we learned SO MUCH that we would have otherwise overlooked..Mr. Lambros & Tasos (sp) made us feel so special and REALLY REALLY gave us MEMORIES we will cherish forever!
I am NOT sure I could ever go back to Athens (and we are for sure NOW) and NOT have Athena Private Tours take care of us..no words can describe the level of service we received…we are SO BLESSED & THANKFUL for Mr Lambros & his informative TEAM!!

The best of Hellas
It was amazing with all we saw and what history a city can have! Our travel guide Lambro was the best we could ask for. If you come to Greece a must to take this tour!
GABRIEL P
Fantastic two days in Athens with Lambros
We had a private tour for two days with Lambros. He is knowledgeable and fun and allowed us to design what we wanted to do. We went to the Acropolis Museum, Zeus’s temple, the Olympic Stadium and Aristotle’s school. We also drove around the old port and the Agora, and up to the highest point in the city. We had prepaid passes for everything through our hotel. Lambros was full of fun information without nattering on nonstop which some guides do. We liked him so much we hired him for a second day to take us to the Temple of Poseidon at the tip of Cape Sunion an hours drive out of Athens. Later we spent the afternoon at a beach. Lambros was the perfect guide for us and we feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon him!
Errol340
Lambros is the BEST tour guide with a heart of gold❤️
My wife and I were given a tour by Lambros for our honeymoon!! He was not only very helpful and informative but he was the absolute sweetest guy!! Lambros even took us to a taverna outside of Athens when we said we wanted to try authentic food! Our tour with him was definitely the greatest part of our trip and 100% recommend anyone who wants to experience Athens to the fullest to book HERE!!
Ruth N
Lambros the great
Lambros is the best tour guide that we have ever experienced. His stories are captivating and he had an addicting personality. Lambros is funny, sweet, very knowledgeable, and much much more. You could not ask for a better guide or someone who knows more than him. He is not only a guide but a future friend. In about a day he’s become family. Best tour ever!

Brilliant tour in Delphi
Thanks a lot Labros for a fantastic tour to Delphi! Labros picked us up from our hotel in Athens and took us on a scenic drive to Delphi, stopping at Chaironeia to see a marble lion monument and the lovely village of Arachova for photos. In Delphi, we explored the ancient sites for 2 hours and enjoyed a delicious meal at a Greek Taverna. We also visited the beautiful Osios Loukas Monastery. Labros was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Greece. We loved everything about the trip and highly recommend it. Can’t wait to return to Greece and explore more. Thanks for an great experience!
James M
Fabulous Day Tour of Delphi!
Lambros picked us up from our hotel in Athens and drove us to the ancient city of Delphi via the provincial highway. On the way, we stopped at the famous city of Chaironeia, where we visited the great Lion made of marble in honor of the soldiers who lost their lives in the famous battle. We continued our trip to a small traditional village, Arachova, where we took some really nice pictures before ending up in Delphi. We spent 2 hours visiting the sites and then had lunch at a traditional Greek Taverna (the food was delicious).
On the way back, we stopped at the Byzantine Monastery of Osios Loukas, an amazing place on the top of a hill. Lambros was very informative and professional, with a lot of passion and love for his country. Everything was excellent, and I highly recommend this trip to anyone. We are looking forward to going back to Greece to spend some more time in the countryside. Thank you for everything; we will see you again for sure!
Dani S
Wonderful day in Athens
Prior to our trip to Greece we had several email conversations with Lambros about his tour. Lambros replied promptly with our answers. He also gave us information on getting our tickets online prior to arriving.
Lambros picked us up on time and returned us to our ship. Lambros and his vehicle were neat and clean.
Lambros was informative and we learned a lot about Greek history along with information about the locations we visited.
If we returned to Athens and needed any form of transportation I would use Lambros.
Paul S
Great Tour Day!
We had a fantastic time with Lambros as our driver. He picked us up at the cruise terminal, and we headed out to Corinth, Mycenae, Nafplio and then to our hotel in Athens. Lambros was very knowledgeable about all of our stops and was great fun to talk to throughout the day. He was a great help getting our luggage from the car to the hotel…it was definitely a challenge!
Lambros also helped us with getting a driver over the next day and a half…that made everything so much easier!
If you are looking for a great experience, look no further… Lambros can take great care of you!

LAMBROS P and the Peloponnese Penninsula
This past October, my wife Mary, cousin Noreen, and I enojoyed a 13 day vacation in Greece and its Islands, Included in our intinerary was a private 2 day diversion to the Peloponnese Penninsula with Olympia and the ancient Olympic Village as our overnight destination. Along the way and we saw and stopped at the Corinth Canal and drove through several small vilages. We enjoyed the countryside and the vistas. We stopped and walked the ancient excavations at Corinth, Mycenae, and visited the beautiful seaside town of Napflion. It’s a lot to see in a two day excursion. We used a private tour company called ATHENA PRIVATE TOURS and felt lucky to get Lambros as our tour guide/driver. Lambros was extremely knowledgeable in Greek history, well spoken, professional, patient with our many questions, and knows where all the good restaurants and sights are. The vehicle, a large SUV, was clean and well maintained. Many thanks to Lambros. He made our excursion memorable and well worth the time and expense.

Airport Service
During our brief stay in Athens, my friends and I found ourselves in need of a last-minute transfer service to the airport. We contacted Athena Private Tours and they were able to promptly secure our transportation. Their communication, professionalism, and punctuality left a lasting positive impression. I highly recommend their services!

FANTASTIC TOUR

Antonio Davide C
The only company you need for transfers and tours
This tour company took care of all of our transportation and tour needs for our whole time in Greece. They are fantastic! Harry is so much fun and Lambros is a blast. They are 100% reliable and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We left Greece feeling like we have extended family there.

Athena Private Tours is amazing!
My husband and I had the pleasure of touring Olympia, Delphi and Meteora, as well as Athens, on this trip to Greece.
Athena Private Tours is our go-to tour company. Lambros has taken amazing care of us in past trips and has shared so much great knowledge about Greece. We would recommend Athena Private Tours to everyone!
On this trip, we spent the 4 day tour with Harry, who treated us like family. He took care of all our needs, allowed us to stop when we wanted to and had wonderful suggestions of where to go and what to see. He also helped us with our friends who had a 6 hour layover and had never seen Athens. Harry is clearly a professional and has a very welcoming attitude. He made this trip a wonderful adventure!
Lisa B
Recommend Harry as excellent and professional driver and guide
Harry is an excellent and very professional driver who was very knowledgeable as a guide too, as he drove us to the airport. Unfortunately we only found out about his guide services at the end of our trip in Athens . Will definitely use his services again. Harry is very friendly, punctual and speaks good English. In the short time we spent together, we established a very good relationship. Will definitely recommend him to my family and friends visiting Athens.

Excellent Experience and Tour Guide
My husband and I had a splendid experience with our guide Lambros when we visited Greece. He was knowledgable and passionate about the places and Greek history, and I never had a dull moment. He was reliable, he accommodated our interests and needs, and he went out of his way one day to fulfill a wish and sate my curiousity about oranges in a grove (but I can’t relate what it is here ).
He runs this company now, and I wish him all the best! If I ever have a chance to return to Greece, I would choose Lambros’ services again.

Build memories for a lifetime
We first met Lambros by chance in December 2021 when he drove us from our hotel to the Acropolis. As a result of the brief but delightful experience, our family of four hired Lambros twice during that trip for private tours- one to Delphi and one to the Peloponnese. So when we returned in December 2022/January 2023, I reached back out to our “friend” Lambros to arrange a couple of additional tours. I say friend because that is how Lambros makes you feel when you work with him. It is safe to say that he has made our last two trips to Greece better and more memorable. He has a great knowledge of history, is very friendly, speaks excellence English, and he knows the little gems that you would not find on your own or through a tour book.
For our latest trip we took a tour to Cape Sounion and a long day trip to the Meteora. Both were excellent and exciting and in addition to the other positives, they featured Lambros’ trademark great restaurant finds.
In 2021, – the Delphi tour featured a couple of extra stops and a great restaurant find. The trip to the Peloponnese featured stops in old Corinth, the Corinth Canal, a wonderful winery, a too brief stop in Napflion and a restaurant find that I think our family will talk about for the rest of our lives.
Greece is spectacular, and you could book some of these as bus tours (and we have in the past), but save yourself time, aggravation, and maybe even money (depending on your group size) as well, to experience a personalized trip that you will remember for years to come.

Tour en route to airport
We had a great tour with a driver who has 35 years of experience. Great job and even took us to one of his favorite local restaurants where the food deserve its own review
JPClaytor
Second to none!
Lambros was such an educated, professional and joyful person to assist in our explorations throughout Athens. The wine tours were amazing, the sites were mind blowing and the food at the end was authentic Greek food. If you are looking for a great guide, look no further!

Unique experience
I am half Greek and I visit Greece all the time however I wanted to do something special during September when the weather is great and it is not that hot. We have chosen the 4 day trip as we wanted to see a few places that we have never been before (Argolis – Olympia – Vasses – Delphi – Meteora) ! Such a great and unique experience. Our driver Lambros is such a good person very happy and friendly with a breadth of knowledge regarding these places and their history – which was a very important aspect for us as we wanted to know more. In terms of the services the quality was amazing very clean and comfortable car which made the journey very relaxing. Definitely recommend it especially if you have kids!! If you are travelling to islands it is definitely worth to book the 1-day tours to athens or ensure you spend more time in athens. I recommend Greece for winter holidays as well where you can book one of their longer tours (as we did) to explore the mainland.
Dani S
Best way to see Athens by far!!!
Lambros is the coolest, most knowledgeable tour guide I have ever had! He made our short time in Athens so interesting, taking us to both the big sites and the not-so-well-known gorgeous views! I will 100% be reaching out to him for another tour when I make my way back to Greece.
Savannah H
Informative and fun!
Very personal, knowledgeable guides. I have taken these tours on 2 different trips and can’t wait to go back! I highly recommend this company and the tours they offer.

Athens at its best
Upon getting off the ship in athens, there was an army of taxi drivers who were waiting to take the cruise goers on a tour.
We saw a nicely dressed man who had a nice mercedes, we approached him and upon greeting him he spoke perfect english.
We asked him if he could give us a tour and a have a nice lunch at a great restaurant.
Lambros gave us a wonderful tour of athens, sharing a vast knowledge of the history of athens, and commented on insightful landmarks. Lambros then took us to an amazing restaurant right on the water and made sure we were back to the ship in a timely manner.
Exemptional tour and great memories.

A real point of reference for me in Athens
I met mr. Petropoulos one of those days when the agenda of a business trip is so full of appointments that you can’t push in a needle….
I was late to the last appointment before my flight back to Italy and my luggage was still in the hotel. The only option was really to ask Mr. Petropoulos to get my trolley while I was in the last meeting and then bring me straight to the airport. The risk was to remain in XX street and wait forever…well when I went out the bank Lambros was there with my bag in the car and I managed to catch my plane and be safe at home.
That was the beginning of a 16 years cooperation, always very professional , reliable and with a very good English which helps the communication. A real point of reference for me in Athens.
Ciceri Francesca
Many thanks
Labros and Athena Private Tours, thanks so much for the three day tour from Athens to Nafplio, Olympia and Delphi, and back to Athens. It was such a wonderful experience from beginning to end. We were amazed to see and learn so many things in three days, so thank you so much.
As a tour guide you made the experience easy, fun and memorable, as well as accommodating for our children (they really loved you!). You are the most knowledgeable and passionate guide I have met and any question I had you were able and happy to answer.
We will be recommending your service to our friends and no doubt if we come back to Greece we will be using your services once again.
The Brown Family
Many thanks
Thank you so much Lambros for our wonderful tour. We initially wanted to visit the islands only, but in the end we decided to book a tour in Athens, and we are so glad we did. We learnt so many things about the ancient history of Athens and your passion really made the experience great fun. The sunset in Sounion in particular was majestic and one of the most beautiful moments I’ve had with my wife. You also went out of your way to give us plenty of tips and information for the islands we were planning to go to, and we are extremely grateful for this.
We are definitely planning to come back to Greece and book one of your tours to see more of mainland Greece next time. Thanks again so much for the wonderful experience.
With Love, James and AliceAs a tour guide you made the experience easy, fun and memorable, as well as accommodating for our children (they really loved you!). You are the most knowledgeable and passionate guide I have met and any question I had you were able and happy to answer.
