The first stop is at the Acropolis, to see the architectural monuments of the Golden Age of Athens, including the Parthenon, Erectheion the temple of Athena Nike and the magnificent views of the city all the way to Aegean sea. The Acropolis is located on a flattish-topped rock that rises 150 m (490 ft) above sea level in the city of Athens, with a surface area of about 3 hectares. Most of the major temples, including the Parthenon, were built by order of Pericles during the so-called "Golden Age of Athens"(460–430 BC).
The triumphal arch lies on an ancient street that led from the old city of Athens to the new, Roman section, built by Hadrian. It was constructed by the Athenians in A.D. 131, in honor of their benefactor emperor.
The Temple of Olympian Zeus Naós tou Olympíou Diós, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greek capital Athens. It was dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC. The columns would stand 17 m (55 ft 9 in) high and 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in diameter.
The Panathenaic Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens, Greece. One of the main historic attractions of Athens, it is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble in 1896 to host the first modern Olympic games.

Alex was amazing. He took us around Athens so we could get pictures and share information about historical landmarks. This was the second time I used his service and will definitely use him again if I return back to Athens. I highly recommend Alex and his company!
Dear 560jacquej, Thank you for coming back to Athens Taxi Wagon and for bringing a friend along! It was such a pleasure spending hours together exploring the best of Athens and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. I hope you both had a wonderful time seeing the city's most important and interesting sights. Was a great pleasure seeing you again! Looking forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Greece! Best Regards, Alexis of Athens Taxi Wagon.
When our ship was docked in Piraeus, we booked an excursion using Athens Taxi Wagon and we enjoyed it from start to finish. The booking process was fast and simple. Alexis picked us on time and we first visited Acropolis before it got crowded. Also, a licensed guide was arranged for us. We then drove around Athens and Alexis showed us many landmarks no to be missed. Overall, it remains to be a memorable experience.
Dear Philip H, @philiphM4236HI, Thank you very much for sharing your experience and for choosing Athens Taxi Wagon during your stop in Piraeus. I am very pleased to know that the booking process was smooth, the timing worked perfectly, and that visiting the Acropolis early with a licensed guide helped you enjoy the site without crowds. It is also great to hear that the city drive and landmarks made the excursion memorable from start to finish. We truly appreciate your kind words and would be happy to assist you again with private tours, airport transfers, or day trips in Athens. Best Regards,Alexis of Athens Taxi Wagon.
During our visit to Greece in September and October 2025, we had several days at the start and at the end of our trip. So, we decided to see as much as possible and we did a quick research. We then used Athens Taxi Wagon, and it turned out to be a correct decision. On the first day we went on a city tour opting for a licensed guide. The entire day was wonderful. The guide shared interesting facts about history and culture. We had smooth access to the main attractions. Our driver, Alexis, mentioned that while he also knows the history well, Greek regulations do not allow drivers to guide inside sites. We appreciated the clarity. After that first day, Alexis continued with us for the rest of our travels, and very quickly he became much more than just a driver. He truly felt like a friend. He took us to Meteora, which is absolutely unforgettable, and along the way he stopped at special places we never would have found on our own. We saw beautiful countryside, charming towns, and viewpoints that made the journey just as memorable as the destinations. Without Athens Taxi Wagon, we would never have experienced Greece in this way or met someone like Alexis who added so much warmth, insight, and care to our trip. They also arranged our final transfer back to Athens, which was seamless and stress free. We genuinely recommend Athens Taxi Wagon not only for city tours, but also for longer trips throughout Greece. It was far better than renting a car, and the personal touch made all the difference.
Dear EmanuelGemmu, Thank you sincerely for such a heartfelt and beautifully written review. Reading about your journey through Greece and the moments you shared with us truly means a lot. I am very glad that your first city tour with the licensed guide set the tone for your stay and that the explanations and smooth access helped you enjoy Athens with ease and clarity. Traveling together afterward to Meteora and other special places was a real pleasure, and I am especially happy to know that those unexpected stops, views, and small towns made the journey as memorable as the destinations themselves. Becoming part of your trip beyond simply providing transportation is exactly the experience we aim to offer, with care, honesty, and a personal approach. Thank you as well for your trust in arranging your final transfer back to Athens and for your strong recommendation. It would be a genuine pleasure to welcome you again and to assist you again with private tours, airport transfers, or day trips in Athens. Best Regards, Alexis of Athens Taxi Wagon.
Alexis is the best tour guide with high quality fleet of Wagons. True gentleman, kind hearted with lots of knowledge to share on Greece. He even presented us a return gift - local Baklava specialty. Highly recommended!
Dear Ravi, Thank you sincerely for your kind words and for sharing your experience with Athens Taxi Wagon. I’m truly glad you enjoyed your Athens city tour and appreciated the comfort of our fleet, the insights shared during your trip, and the small local touch with the Baklava gift. It was a real pleasure meeting you and your family — your warmth and enthusiasm made the day memorable for me as well. Your support and recommendation are highly valuable to our company and treated with absolute respect. We look forward to welcoming you again in Greece soon. Best Regards, Alexis of Athens Taxi Wagon.
Alexis and team were amazing and very entertaining, wonderful experience. I highly recommend him to anyone traveling to Greece.
Dear Mikiko, @mikikoc2025, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the Private Athens City Landmarks Tour and had such a positive experience. It was a real pleasure having you with us, and your kind recommendation is truly appreciated. You're always welcome back anytime you’re in Greece! Best regards,Alexis of Athens Taxi Wagon.
We had a fantastic day with Spiros! He was kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, which truly enhanced our time in Athens. From the moment he picked us up at the Port of Piraeus, we felt completely at ease. Our tour began with a visit to the iconic Acropolis, where Spiros shared fascinating insights into its ancient history, including stories about the Parthenon and the origins of democracy. After exploring the site, he took us to a wonderful local restaurant he recommended — the food was absolutely delicious and felt authentically Greek. In the afternoon, we toured more of the city's highlights, including the historic Panathenaic Stadium — the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble and home to the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. We also witnessed the ceremonial Changing of the Guards at the Hellenic Parliament, a tradition steeped in history and national pride. Athens Taxi Wagon exceeded our expectations, and Spiros made it a truly memorable day. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Athens!

Your support is highly appreciated and we do hope to visit us again in one of your future travels, we'd like to show you more of what this country has to offer …until then, Best Regards, Alexis of Athens Taxi Wagon.
The taxi driver was so sweet and curtious. He made sure we were comfortable and took great care that we saw all the highlights of the city. To top it off, he took us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch and ordered us our meal since we didn't speak Greek. We couldn't have seen all the highlights of the city without his guidance. I highly recommend taxi wagon. .

Athens Taxi Wagon was great. Responded to my What’s App inquiry and further messages promptly. Spiro was our driver for the day. He picked us at the cruise terminal and took us to all the major highlights of Athens city, found us a great place on the beach for lunch, down to the Poseidin Temple then to the airport. He was informative, attentive and looked after us very well. He made our last day in Greece memorable. Would recommend Athens Taxi Wagon.

Your contribution and support are highly appreciated and treated with absolute respect. On behalf of Spiros and me, we'd like to thank you and invite you back to Athens in one of your future travels. Until then… Best Regards, Alexis of Athens Taxi Wagon.
On our first family trip to Greece I was worried about navigating the city with a small child. Alexi, and his team made it super easy, and comfortable for us. He took us to all the popular sites and gave us tips on how to navigate around the thousands of tourist trying to visit the same places. He took great care of us, and even catered to our 6 year old. We didn't have the greatest cruise experience (not part of his service) but his day tour of Athens made up for it. We will definitely use his services again on our next trip to Greece. Vera, Sheldon, & Marlie
