Itinerary
You start your visit from the Greek Parliament where you will snap photos of the famed evzones, the ceremonial guards in traditional kilts—one of Athens’ most photographed sights.
Escape the bustle in the lush National Garden, a peaceful oasis home to over 7,000 trees, a pond, ancient ruins, and even a botanical museum—ideal for nature-inspired photography.
Nestled among stately gardens and guarded by the iconic evzones, the Presidential Mansion is the official residence of the President of the Hellenic Republic.
At the historic Kallimarmaro Stadium, birthplace of the modern Olympic Games, your escort will help you find unique angles and perspectives to level up your photo game.
Framed by neoclassical grandeur and surrounded by lush gardens, the Zappeion is more than just an elegant backdrop—it's a symbol of modern Greece’s cultural revival.
It’s time to wander through Plaka, the “Neighborhood of the Gods.” Its charming alleys, colorful houses, and quaint cafes offer postcard-perfect scenes at every turn.
Climb the storied steps of Pnyx and find yourself standing where ancient philosophers, apostles, and councilors once gathered.
A panoramic viewpoint where the Acropolis and the city stretch out beneath you—one of the most breathtaking, Instagram-worthy spots in Athens.
Stretching along the southern slope of the Acropolis, Dionysiou Areopagitou is often called the most beautiful pedestrian street in Athens.

Our Athens Instagram Photo Tour was a lot of fun. Our guide was fantastic. It was a small walking tour which was perfect. We saw everything from the museums, to the changing of the guards at 2 locations, the Olympic stadium, beautiful parks and a shopping area that we were unable to find on our own. It was the perfect pace, our guide was fun and informative and we got some shopping in too. I highly recommend this fun excursion too.
The guide was amazing and nice, explaining the history, mythology, and present times, and everything that you need to know about Greece. Easy going, and as travel alone she gave the tips about the photos, really amazing tour. I truly recomand this especially if you are on your own.
We had an amazing time with Viktor. He was knowledgeable, showed us amazing sights and was a lot of fun. I absolutely loved the Old Town homes and perfect spots for pictures all tour. Vijtor qas knowledgeable on history and great facts.
Constantine’s enhanced our experience of Athens' points of interest, showcasing great knowledge of the history and capturing memorable moments with her excellent photography skills. Highly recommended.
Penelope was an incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide who adapted her tour to what we wanted to know. We learnt so much about Athens and visited some very scenic spots where we got some lovely photographs! It was a joy to spend the afternoon with her!
It was my fifth guided tour in Athens and one of the best ones! My guide Greg brought me to different beautiful places in the city, talked about their history and showed me the best spots to take a picture. Often we were just a few meters away from the place crowded by tourists and I am very thankful to Greg for showing me these hidden treasures of Athens! Greg was also very charming and thoughtful e.g. he showed me on his own initiative the opportunities to buy water or visit a well-maintained bathroom. The whole tour was great fun, and the photos are amazing! THANK YOU!!
We really enjoyed our tour with Lucas. He was extremely knowledgeable and showed us places we would not have seen walking on our own. My only suggestion is to have the tour guide have a card or something showing he represents the tour company as we had a bit of difficulty finding him at the meeting spot.
We absolutely loved this experience!! Our guide was so knowledgeable and answered any questions that we had. We were able to see the most amazing spots in Athens. If you are okay walking the whole time I highly recommend this tour.
Lukas our guide was amazing. We got to walk through the streets of Athens to places we would not have been able to do on our own. In addition his knowledge of the city was great which made the walk even better and knowing all the shady spots was a definite plus.
Tour was great, I don't think I call it an instagram tour, but more of a tour of top Athens highlights with a local guide. Guide was fantastic.
