Private Athens City Tour: Acropolis to Mount Lycabettus
This private tour covers eight of Athens' most significant ancient and modern landmarks over approximately four to five hours. Starting from your hotel or any Athens address you specify, you travel by air-conditioned private vehicle to the Acropolis and Parthenon, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hellenic Parliament, Presidential Palace, the Academy of Athens, the Panathenaic Stadium, and Mount Lycabettus. No other travellers join — the vehicle and driver are exclusively for your group.
At each stop, your driver provides context drawn from detailed knowledge of Greek history. The Acropolis and Parthenon are the longest stop at around two hours. Other stops range from twenty minutes at the Academy of Athens and the Panathenaic Stadium to thirty minutes each at the Temple of Zeus, Hellenic Parliament, and Presidential Palace. Mount Lycabettus, the highest point in central Athens, rounds out the tour with approximately one hour at the summit.
The vehicle is equipped with Wi-Fi and mobile chargers, and bottled water is provided throughout. Skip-the-line support is included at applicable sites. Entrance tickets are not part of the tour price — the Acropolis requires a separate admission ticket (€30 per booking), as does the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Several other stops — Hellenic Parliament, Presidential Palace, Academy of Athens, Panathenaic Stadium, and Mount Lycabettus — are free to visit.
Pickup is arranged from any location in Athens you provide at the time of booking. Airport pickup is available on request for an additional fee. The tour operates every day of the year.
