What to expect

Start your day by sipping a Greek coffee in a traditional coffee shop, and tasting loukoumades, fried doughnut balls with honey called.

You will then go to one of the oldest pie baking shops in the center of Athens to get a bite of a filled crunchy phyllo dough layered pie, called tyropita. Your tour will continue by tasting koulouri, a pretzel dipped in sesame seeds, from a street stand like most Athenians do every morning. Later you will sample unique local delicacies like sliced meat, cheeses from several regions of the country, olives, and extra virgin olive oil.

Your local guide will then take you strolling around the streets of the central market of Athens. Here you will smell the spices, taste the fresh fruits and a variety of nuts, and enter Varvakios agora, which is the main meat and fish market.

Your tour will end by tasting the most famous and delicious Greek street food, the glorious Souvlaki.

Private Athens Tour with Acropolis and Plaka

The ancient Greeks left behind a treasure trove of monuments, statues and artefacts in Athens. And on this private tour, you'll take in all the top spots with an expert guide. Exclusively for you and your party, you'll tour highlights including the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, the Plaka neighbourhood and the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Vassiliki, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Acropolis means “high city” and it usually refers to any settlement built on top of a hill. You'll find many towns in Greece that have an acropolis, but the Acropolis of Athens is certainly the most famous.'You'll start with a guided tour of the Acropolis – with skip-the-line tickets, there'll be no waiting around. Soak up wow-factor views over Athens at the Areopagus – a rocky hill where legend has it the Greek gods would hold court. Let your guide bring history to life as you marvel at ancient landmarks like the Roman Agora, the Theatre of Dionysus and the still-standing columns of the Asklepieion and Parthenon. Then, it's on to the city's Instagram-worthy old quarter, Plaka – the capital's most appealing and historic neighbourhood. Always thronged with a mix of locals and visitors, the pedestrianised lanes are brimming with tavernas whose tables spill onto the streets. Vassiliki says, ‘Athenians call this area “the neighbourhood of the Gods,' as it has been inhabited since the days of ancient Greece. In fact, excavations show that the street layout has barely changed since antiquity.'
