Athens and Cape Sounion Full Day Private Tour Including Meal

We customized our itinerary with our driver, Marselo, starting at 11:00 AM from Rafina. Flipping the schedule to hit Cape Sounion first was the best decision—the Temple of Poseidon was incredibly peaceful before the afternoon rush. Marselo then drove us into Athens for a city tour, saving the Acropolis for last so we could avoid the worst of the midday heat. He was an amazing host and ended the perfect day by taking us to a great local neighborhood for an authentic dinner away from the crowds before dropping us at our hotel. Having Marselo's local insight and private car made the whole day seamless and fun!

We had a bit of a unique plan, starting at 11:00 AM from Rafina, and this private tour handled it flawlessly. Instead of the usual route, we hit Cape Sounion first, which was awesome because we got to explore the Temple of Poseidon without the massive evening crowds. After that, we headed into Athens to see the city highlights and saved the Acropolis for last. Doing the Acropolis later in the day was a total game-changer—much cooler and way more enjoyable to walk around. Our driver was fantastic, super chill, and kept us comfortable in the AC the whole time. To wrap up the day, they took us to a really cool local neighborhood for an authentic dinner away from all the tourist traps. Getting dropped off right back at our hotel at the end of the night made everything so easy. If you want a stress-free day that actually goes at your own pace, book this!

On the drive to and from Sounio, Elton took us through an extremely detailed and in depth overview of Greek history. I appreciated his passion for the subject.

Sebastian was an amazing and accommodating tour guide. This was truly a private tour and we optimized the entire time together. I will definitely recommend him to others. He is very knowledgeable about Athens, the Hellenic history, and all of the trivia questions that we had! Great way to see so much of greater Athens!

Good times , monuments really enjoyable. It made us feel great to have pain of figuring it out taken from us. Elton our guide was phenomenal. Great communication with staff.

We had an excellent tour of Greece. It included virtually all the significant sites and magnificent monuments in and around Athens. Our guide, Stathis was incredibly knowledgeable and presented this history in context with today. Stathis was not only an excellent guide he was a well-rounded person and was willing to engage on topics beyond the scope of our tour. We discussed music, religion, philosophy, politics, human behavior, and our lives growing up. He was willing, and able, to speak and listen on our somewhat lengthy drive to the Temple of Poseidon and back. He shared with us some things to see and do that were beyond the time left in our day. He was even so kind as to drop us near a row of restaurants in the Plaka with a recommendation. We would absolutely suggest this tour especially if you can manage to have Stathis escort you through the city he so clearly loves!

Elton was amazing! His customer service, knowledge, and passion for what he does truly stood out. He made my partner and me feel comfortable from the start and ensured we saw everything we wanted while sharing the history behind it all. His attention to detail and great food recommendations made the experience even better. Thank you, Elton, for making our trip so memorable!

We enjoyed this adventure with Victoria so very much! Definitely a must do if you visit Athens. Victoria was the perfect guide for me, my daughter & 15 yr old granddaughter. She was very enlightening for the entire 8 hr day we spent with her. She was like a walking encyclopedia with so much history, customs & lore to share. The Mercedes was an extremely comfortable ride & Victoria supplied us with water & a little snack. Our extreme appreciation to her for a perfect, memorable tour of Athens!

Elton was a wonderful guide and driver who helped to provide a wonderful experience for our family. As a history major, he also had wonderful stories about Greek history and helped explain the rich history of the country. The Greek Riviera was beautiful as was the Temple of Poseidon!

We had the most amazing private tour of Athens with Elton! From the Acropolis and Parthenon to the Panathenaic Stadium and so many other incredible sites, everything was perfectly planned and seamless. One of the best parts was not having to worry about parking or logistics—Elton would drop us off right at each location and pick us up, which made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. Lunch was included and was absolutely delicious, adding another special touch to the day. Elton provided outstanding customer service from start to finish—friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what he does. If you’re visiting Athens, I can’t recommend this experience enough! Best money spent!!
