What you’ll do

Spend half a day exploring Athens and experience what makes it so unique. From the historical landmarks to centuries of history around the city and bustling markets to a thriving contemporary art scene, your host will tailor an experience around your wishes.

Perhaps start by exploring the Ancient Agora, a tranquil oasis in the city center that was once the heart of ancient Athens. From there, you could head to Monastiraki Flea Market, where you'll find an eclectic mix of antiques, souvenirs, and local crafts.

Or you could head to the trendy neighborhoods of Psirri or Gazi and immerse yourself in Athens' thriving contemporary art scene while wandering through charming alleyways, admiring the neoclassical architecture and traditional tavernas.

And if it's a quintessentially Greek experience you're after, why not visit the historic district of Plaka and then indulge in traditional Greek cuisine at a local taverna? You could try local specialties like moussaka, dolmades, or souvlaki and wash it down with a glass of ouzo or raki.

    My husband and I took a private tour through Athens! Anni was a great guide! She was very knowledgeable of the city and the culture. We enjoyed the entire tour and visited all over Athens. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens!

    Kejei met us at our hotel and explained our itinerary. We added the Sanja Matsuri festival to the plan and it fit right in to his itinerary for the day. We went for an enjoyable sushi place for lunch. Kejei explained so many things about Tokyo and Japanese culture. He showed us how to navigate the train system and gave us ideas for the remainder of our vacation. An excellent guide we highly recommend!!!

    My husband and I had a day in Singapore so we decided to take a city upscripted day tour of Singapore. Our guide was Keven. Kevin spent eight hours and 20,000 plus steps with us exploring this beautiful City. Kevin was extremely informative and easy going. He designed the day so we got an overview of all the nationalities in Singapore and how they live, eat and work in harmony. We ate, drank and enjoyed the sights. We would highly recommend Kevin and City unscripted if you have a short layover in Singapore.
