The Best Athens Tours

The “City of the Violet Crown”, as Athens is sometimes known, has a rich history going back over 3,000 years. It has witnessed the rise and fall of some of the greatest empires known to man. It is where western philosophy and democracy were born, and it has influenced millenia of artists, architects, and playwrights. Its imprint on modern society is as indelible as it is immeasurable. In many ways, saying Athens is the birthplace of Western Civilization is no exaggeration: no other society captured the imagination of its successors or bred as many imitations as Athens. 

 

Through all of this-- the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Ottoman Empire-- the city has continued on and its people have built and rebuilt the identity of Athens. Visiting as a newcomer is thus a daunting experience: peeling back the layers to see past the picture-perfect scenery and postcard-ready monuments to feel the beating heart of the city, to understand the spirit and soul of it, is only truly possible with a local guide. 

 

Our tours of Athens

On our tours of Athens, you will have the opportunity to truly uncover the past as you visit the Acropolis. The overlap of the civic and religious arms of the ancient empire become clear as you explore the Parthenon, Erechtheion, and Propylaea, among other things. Our guides will bring to life the drama and comedy of Greek theater in the Theater of Dionysus or the Odeon of Herodes.

 

See the Agora, where the daily life of Ancient Athens unfolded, where Plato first listened to Socrates and where countless Greek masterpieces were sculpted. Visit the Plaka and see where the modern city starts to emerge. Soak in the best views of the city from Mount Lycabettus. Or see all that the city’s budding culinary scene has to offer on one of the many food tours. 

 

Athens has something for every type of traveler, and our guides know how to bring it to life.
