Private Athens Tours
Since 2008, we have been running private Athens tours for travellers who want more than a Parthenon photograph. Whether it is a 4-hour highlights tour or a full day that covers the Acropolis, the city, and the coast, the experience is the same: a licensed expert guide, a premium Mercedes vehicle, and nobody else in it but you.
We cover everything from a private Acropolis tour to family adventures, shore excursions from Piraeus, and day trips beyond the city. Whatever brings you to Athens, you leave knowing you actually experienced it.
Why a Private Athens Tour Is a Different Experience
The difference becomes clear the moment you step into your private vehicle. On a private Acropolis tour, you decide how long to stay at the Parthenon, when to stop for a Greek coffee in Plaka, and what matters most to you. No flags to follow. No strangers to wait for. No rushing through one of the world's greatest monuments because a tour bus is leaving.
We have been hearing the same thing from guests since 2008: once you do Athens privately, a group tour feels like a different activity entirely.
Private Shore Excursions from Piraeus Port
Arriving by cruise ship? Our private shore excursions from Piraeus are built around your ship's schedule - not ours. Your driver meets you at the terminal exit, monitors your actual docking time, and has you back at the port before departure. In seventeen years of Athens shore excursions, not one of our guests has missed their ship.
Family Tours & Groups of All Sizes
Our private family tour is built around the stories that keep children engaged - the myths, the heroes, the reason the Parthenon looks the way it does. We move at a pace that works for everyone, in comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes vehicles. For larger groups, our Vito minibus accommodates up to 8 passengers without anyone feeling like they drew the short straw on the seat.

Private Day Trips from Athens: Sounion, Delphi & Meteora
Athens is the beginning, not the destination. We run private day trips to Cape Sounion - the cliff above the Aegean where the Temple of Poseidon has been standing for 2,500 years - and to Delphi, where the ancient Greeks believed the world began. For those with more time, Meteora - the monasteries perched on their extraordinary rock formations - is one of the most visually extraordinary places in Europe. All excursions in our private luxury fleet, door to door.
