      Great view & great exercise option
      Amazing view. We were there for sunset and was crowded, as expected. Was not easy to find the fanicular car. A nice workout to get to the base of the hill. Worth the effort & a to do while visiting Athens

      Fantatsic views of the city from its highest vantage point.
      It's a steep walk up but well worth the effort for the views at the top. The only place where you can see the whole city laid out before you all the way to the sea.

      Give Urban Athens Collective a chance and you might get more than you bargained for!
      I was fortunate to be the only client on tour, so Dionysus/Dennis agreed we could wander into places I had not been yet and so we did. My extended conversations with him were a highlight of my Greek trip. I peppered him with questions.... Well educated about the historical sights we were seeing, both ancient and modern, Dennis gave me historical context, shared his views about culture and politics and gave me a sense of what it is like to be a Greek in this modern world. I appreciated him greatly, as well as the walk around what I considered to be greater hidden gems, the Monasteraki and Psiri neighborhoods, which I might not have gotten to on my own, or with such insight into what makes those neighborhoods unique.

      Wonderful historic site with an excellent Tour Guide
      Booked the early morning tour and skip the line tickets. Little bit more expensive but meant we were ahead of the crowds and completing the tour before it got too hot. We booked with Viator who were easy to deal with and who provided an excellent tour guide, Artemis. Artemis was the perfect guide. She was friendly, fun and very very knowledgeable. She pitched her tour perfectly with just the right amount of information, history and direction. She even knew where the best places were to get the perfect photo/selfie. We visited in October and found the weather great for sightseeing. Not too hot but nice enough not to need coats etc. It also meant that the crowds weren't quite as big.

      Visit to the Acropolis
      When buying my tickets I noticed that preferential rates for over 65 year old are only to EEC and EEA citizens. Surely it can’t be legal to discriminate against over 65 year old from other countries in this way.

      The person who guided me (Eleni) was beyond amazing! She accommodated the schedule due to a problem with subway (fires), and I was stuck at the airport, trying to check-in at the hostel and show up for the tour! Best part: I didn’t ask! She offered as soon as she heard I would not make on time! Besides that, she took me to places where I barely saw a tourist, but I found many hidden gems (indeed), such as graffiti, and she also has a lot of knowledge about the places (she will share everything with you)! Eleni also pointed out places to eat and what to order! I had a great time and I recommend this tour and her!

      It was such an amazing experience! Not only discovering thousand of things that we didn’t know, also the passion of our guide, Eleni. She seems to know everything of Athens! For sure, i will recommend it 100%. Did a lot of tours in my traveller life in this is my top 1 so far for sure.

She was very informative, knows everything about the history of the city and I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to see the real Athens. Thanks Eleni Gkika!!!

    Our tour guide Helen was less than enthusiastic about the food or the tour. She shared very little history or stories of any of the food we sampled. While the street food we sampled was good, it was a shame that she shared almost nothing about the cultural background of any of them, especially in a culture in which food plays such a big part like Greece. She was disengaged most of the time. On quite a few occasions, we saw her texting or doing something else on her phone during the tour. She simply didn't even want to be there! One of the worst food tours I've had traveling around the world.

    Thank you for taking the time for reviewing us. We are sorry that we couldn't manage to meet your expectations. Eleni is an experienced guide and always does the best. She choose very carefully the places that you could have the best street food, has a very personal way to contact her guests, knows very well the out off the beaten track places of Athens and the history of the city. As she told us you discovered with her really secret corners of Athens and also took photos for you, explained you everything that you tasted and its history and also she changed the menu because as you told her you had already taste some of the food that is in the menu of the tour. She was very detailed about the street food and drinks you tasted, explaining the differences and the similarities with Balkan and Middle East culinary and the ancient history of some dishes and drinks. We hope to see you again in Athens and you are welcome to join us in another food experience.

    *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
