★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,370 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $54Our pick

Small-group Athens mythology tour linking Zeus, the Acropolis, and the Agora, with expert storytelling and extra site tickets not included.

“You just cannot go wrong with Viator. This was another excursion that was affordable and infinitely pleasurable. Irene was our tour guide and since we are off-season, it was only my husband and myself for the tour. Irene is a wonderful teacher and tour guide who breaks things down to understandable terms and asked questions which was helpful for cementing all of the information that she imparted. I’ve done many chores through Viator, and they have never disappointed. I cannot recommend them enough.”

Our guide was a knowledgeable local female who was funny, charming and absolutely made this a highlight of our trip to Greece!”

Our guide was all you could ask for, knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and a good story teller. We had a delightful time despite the poor weather. He made us want to return one day and meet more Greeks.”

The design and the layout all has been planned and we enjoyed…”
